adamLL Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Is there any way to use Git or some other version control to manage updating .ctl files? It is kinda a pain to manage different channels/sequences currently. Open to other suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 You can certainly use version control. Version control apps typically work with any type of document. However, as a binary document, CTL files cannot be diffed, which is certainly one advantage of version control apps, and perhaps why you are hoping to use one. We have thought about ways we could make DAQFactory documents diff'able and hopefully will implement something soon. For now, you can get parts of your ctl doc into a diff'able format by doing a few things: 1) do FIle - Dump script to File and save a copy of all your script and store that along with the ctl doc. This file is a text file so definitely diff'able. 2) for channels, go to the channel table and do an Export. This will create a CSV file which is also diff'able.

adamLL Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Is there any way to automate the script dumping and/or the channel exporting on something like saving the .ctl or using sequences/components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
