FA-Engine(ActiveX) |
FA-Engine6 has the exact same interface as FA-Engine5. If you want to change the version from Ver5 to Ver6, you just need to paste FA-Engine(ActiveX) again, and there is no need to change the program.
However, please note the following points:
1)If you are using events provided by FA-Engine, the event handler will be deleted when you re-paste, so you will need to redefine the event.
2)Some communication drivers are limited to 32-bit operation from Ver6 onwards. If you want to continue using these drivers, please install and use the 32-bit version. For details, please refer to "Functions discontinued with the upgrade to FA-Engine6" below.
3)In addition, the discontinued functions described below in "Functions discontinued by the upgrade to FA-Engine6" cannot be migrated to Ver6.
