WARN ING Significant changes were made to the database structure between
v2.0 and 2.5 to improve system performance, stability and security. Once a job is
upgraded to 2.5 or later, you cannot convert it back to an earlier version. Back up
the current job before upgrading to v2.6.
Note You can install Envision for BACtalk and BACtalk for Windows on the
same computer, but you can’t open and run both programs at the same time.
Use the following scenarios as a guide when connecting to sites running different
versions of BACtalk operator workstation software.
Note To work with new features, such as optimum start, tenant activity,
demand limiting, or multistate objects, you must upgrade the host device with
the latest real-time operating code (ROC) file.
The next day, Terry connects to Remote Site 2, which is a server-based site,
running BACtalk for Windows v3.11. To ensure compatibility, Terry uses the
same version of the software when he connects to this site. Fortunately, he had
the foresight to keep a copy of BACtalk for Windows 3.11 on his operator
workstation for just this purpose.
This scenario could be different if the workstation used to provide remote alarm
logging services is running BACtalk for Windows v3.1x and a customer site is
using Envision for BACtalk. If the customer had alarms set for Envision’s new
features, such as demand limiting, the remote alarm logging service would not
be able to view those alarms. In this scenario, it is recommended that you
upgrade the operator workstation before performing alarm logging.
