Change UFLDesigner to use .NET 4.6.2 or above

Add TCP option to PI UFL Interface

Currently the only two options are file reading or a serial interface. But what if you have ASCII data streaming from a TCP/telnet source? The configuration would be almost the same as serial - for the connection, rather than a serial port, just n...

PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

Reference a local .csv file with mappings (TagName-InstrumentTag) to shorten start-up times.

The .csv file with TagName-InstrumentTag mappings will allow start the interface without specifying the PointSource, which will potentially shorten the start-up times against systems with larg point count. Once the interface is running it will upd...

PI UFL Interface - create selected tags using EnablePointCreation parameter.

Customer noticed that tags can be created automatically, but he does not want to create all of the tags autmatically, but select which tags will be created. He wants to be able to select which tags will be created and which won't.
