1. General
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch can only be installed on an existing ControlDesk 3.0
installation (dSPACE Release 5.2). It also contains previous patches
for these ControlDesk versions.


2. Problems Fixed by This Patch
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- ControlDesk may crash when the registration of a multiprocessor
  system with I/O-boards DS2301 or DS2302 is cancelled.

- On download of a real-time application for a multiprocessor system
  with DS1005 processor units and I/O-board DS2201, the slave DSP of
  DS2201 is not started.

- The menu option Tools - Create Support Information File does not
  save the current state of the simulation system, but the system
  state on start of ControlDesk.

- The processor board DS1006 is put into an invalid state and can no
  longer be accessed if following conditions occur: a) ControlDesk
  runs, b)a real-time application runs on the processor board DS1006,
  c) you call scoutcmd.exe with an invalid application name, in order
  to load a new application to the DS1006. ControlDesk crashes if you
  try to load a new application to the DS1006.

- Downloading a hand-coded application which does not call the Init()
  function on start (programming error) may cause the processor board
  (e.g. DS1005) to be locked (not accessible) for clients other than
  ControlDesk.

- Data capture with stream to disk stops when the file size of 4 GB
  has been reached, even if NTFS file system is used.

- It is not possible to convert the part of an IDF file over 2 GB into
  readable CSV files or into MATLAB binary files.

- When MotionDesk is started from MATLAB, the Navigator window of
  MotionDask contains an additional tab, called "Platform", which is
  normally not part of MotionDesk.

- ControlDesk Basic Version crashes when the Read Showlist Parameters
  Now option of the Parameter Editor is selected.

- The values of the scdacon constants tpcTicLeft and tpcTicRight are
  swapped (Python module instrumentationcomponent.py). This leads to
  malfunction of the script "%DSPACE_ROOT%\Demos\ControlDesk\
  AutomationOfControlDesk\InstrumentSpecificHandling\Altimeter\
  d_Altimeter.py".

- There is a problem to access variables of an offline model, when
  path names of the variables contain escape sequences, like "\\",
  "\n" or "\t".

- ControlDesk crashes when the real-time application contains more
  than one Host Service, at least two variables are connected to a
  plotter instrument using different Host Services and the first
  connected variable is removed.

- Avionics instruments are not always correctly redrawn, after the
  instrument layout has been scrolled.

- Caption of the Sound Controller instrument may be cleared, if the
  property sheet is opened and then closed using the button "Cancel".

- Once a CAN configuration has been created or loaded, the message
  "The program <application name> is running onto the RTP. Do you
  really want to stop the RTP?" is no more displayed, when a real
  time application is loaded to a processor platform, onto which an
  application is already running.

- It is not possible to select a multiprocessor platform from the
  Create New CAN Configuration Dialog.

- The menu option CAN - Create New CAN Configuration does not accept
  a multiprocessor model, when there is a processor units without
  CANMM functionality.


3. Limitations
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No known limitations


4. Installing the Patch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the patch, you must be logged on with administrator rights.

Ensure that the active installation referenced by %DSPACE_ROOT%
contains ControlDesk 3.0. If you are unsure, start dSPACE
Installation Manager and check whether ControlDesk 3.0 appears in the
list of installed products for the active installation.

To install this patch, simply run ControlDesk30P1.exe. The setup
will automatically locate and patch the active dSPACE installation.

After this patch is applied, the version of ControlDesk on the splash
screen and in the About box is set to ControlDesk 3.0p1.
