      • Failure with ALM on restart.

      • ALM crash when license server is down.

      • Switching to License Server when there isn't one caused various issues.

      • Fixed various installer and Apex License Manager issues, including errors during installation, problems launching the license manager, and license application inconsistencies.

    • User Interface Fixes

      • Page status section in the ribbon could be clipped at smaller window sizes in the DX+ Viewer.

      • Updated all references to Mecalc to use correct branding.

      • Clear button would previously be disabled when loading a design; now enabled.

    • Plotting Fixes

      • Offline playback plots now display the current time during file playback.

      • Previously, plots played at maximum speed and only showed the first 10 seconds of data; All time-based plots now play at correct speed and duration during file playback.

      • Campbell indexing issue with displaying OrderFFT data.

      • Campbell plot hang with analog trigger tach.

      • Using absolute time wouldn't show date/time with point selection.

      • Plot settings dialog would not display when activated through context menu.

      • Plot options dialog would not open after resubmit.

      • Plot settings would not work when the page was popped-out.

      • Starting and stopping DAQ, all Campbell plot peaks would appear at speed 0 until the plot is reloaded, randomly would occur.

      • Issue would occur when displaying time vs time data with FFT's Campbell plot.

      • Disabled channels in offline mode still appeared in the Viewer tree.

      • XY-plots had misaligned time between time based traces.

      • Plot export(print) would previously not show graphic plots.

      • Gauge Values for tach2 and tach3 would previously display unstable/rapid changing decimal values.

      • Tabulated plot windows would not close when quitting DX+.

      • Right clicking on a plot and selecting "tabulate" would cause a crash.

      • Cursors could previously not be moved; improved cursor selection, dragging, and context menu responsiveness for all cursor types.

      • Pointer tool is now selected by default.

      • Clearing markers now updates the plot immediately.

      • Graphic plot labels now have improved scaling and performance.

      • Text plots would appear in arbitrary order when dragged from viewer tree, now they maintain correct order.

      • XY plots would not save or restore selected data components for the x/y axes, causing incorrect plot outputs after reload.

      • Marker arrows in DX+ Viewer would not scale correctly when plots were maximized.

      • Loading a Speed Campbell plot and dropping an FFT channel without speed did not revert the plot to a Time Campbell; Y2 axis incorrectly remained as engine orders.

      • First Plot would appear black and grid colors would be incorrect when loading plots with other styles enabled.

      • Propagated channels in Publisher/Subscriber mode would not remain organized by processing type.

      • Z-axis range arrows would disappear in Zmod and Campbell plots when range limit was reached; the correct arrow is now disabled instead.

      • Multiple inputs into the Rev Resample would cause streams to not be correctly selected nor propagated.

      • Limits would not save when using Data Simulator.

      • Errors with Sqlite input data would cause application freeze.

      • Added more error handling to ensure errors were getting reported to users.

      • Error messages would not appear after first popup has happened.

      • Designs with errors would not show errors until design was opened twice.

      • Processing would continue after a setup error, error is now shown to the user.

      • If a design was submitted and resulted in an error but was fixed then resubmitted, the design would continue to not work.

      • Deleting plots would sometimes cause a crash.

      • Re-submitting DS designs would occasionally cause a crash.

      • SQLite input would periodically buffer the longer it played.

      • Entering decimal numbers was previously difficult in EU Scalar and similar entry elements.

      • Page Status window no longer remains open when DX+ is closed.

      • DX+ Viewer's expand ribbon button no longer changes locations when window size changes.

      • Ram usage previously would sometimes show incorrect values.
