TDS

Features

  • Overhaul of the device management mechanism:

    • RSWA devices are not added by their IP in TDS (for devices running at least version 4.9.0).
    • For these devices, TDS must be set to "listening mode" next to the regular device add button.
    • Then on a RSWA, the TDS can be selected as synchronization target to register this RSWA with TDS.
    • This removes the requirement for TDS to know the RSWA IP address so devices may use dynamic IPs again. Device Manager Host Marker
  • AScans are now visible on TDS (only for new exported inspections from a RSWA device running at least version 4.9.0).
