This Summary describes the most notable new features and significant improvements to existing functions that were added in moving forward from version 2.0.10 to version 3.0.11 of Cornerstone Configurator.

Year 2000 Compatibility - Fully tested and certified date storage and year 2000 transition logic.  Consistent four digit year presentation in displays and reports.

Windows 95 and Windows 98 Compatible - Fully compatible with the latest Microsoft Windows versions, including the speedy new 32 bit FAT File Systems.

Latest HARTâ Specifications - Updated to include the very latest HART parameter tables for manufacturer, model, and units, as published by the HART Communication Foundation, of which Applied System Technologies, Inc. is a charter member.

Support for Many Smart Instruments - Optional Model Support Libraries (ModLibs) provide comprehensive HART configuration and calibration support for a wide selection of instruments from a variety of manufacturers, including Yokogawa, Honeywell, Rosemount, and others.  New and revised Cornerstone ModLibs are now available for use with Configurator 3.0.11 to an ever growing list of HART devices.  Use Cornerstone Configurator to manage ALL of your HART instruments, regardless of the manufacturer.  Please refer to the What's New in Base Station page for a detailed list of the new and updated ModLibs brought out for Configurator and Base Station for releases 3.0.10 and 3.0.11.

New Instrument "Cloning" Function - Save time and money by loading one instrument’s configuration parameters into many similar instruments.  This is especially useful for complex instruments like flowmeters and smart valve positioners.

HART Modem on COM1-COM4 - You can now set up your HART Modem on any of up to four serial ports.  This may be required if you are using a PCMCIA card HART Modem on a laptop computer.

Access New Features - Take advantage of new and improved features to reduce your maintenance costs, improve regulatory compliance, and improve product quality.

Insure Compatibility with New Computers - Configurator 3.0.11 has been tested for operation on new PC hardware and Windows operating system software.  The Cornerstone software improvements include performance enhancements to insure proper communications handling on Pentium I, II, and III class personal computers.

User Customized Window Settings - Configurator now remembers how you had the program windows sized and arranged the last time it was run.  This allows you to organize the user interface to your preference.  On next start up, the Main, Database, HART Comm, and any optional windows are presented as you previously set them.
