I'm trying to decide the best way to handle software revisions for my c-more programs that i write. I have several in the field and sometimes updates are required and i want this to reflect in a revision number on the opening screen. it has to be internal to the touchscreen program only because there are times a touchscreen update is the only thing required. I don't want to have to update the PLC just to change the revision number for the touchscreen. What is the best way to handle this? thanks for your long time support. Tim

A regular text field on an information page would do. Of course you have to remember to update it each time. Perhaps include the revision number in the file name also.

No, just a screen you create with any information you'd like - software revision, your project revision, target PLC type and program. Provide a change screen button somewhere to go to it.
