In the x70 outstation configuration object in Geo SCADA 2020, there is an active deadband setup configuration item:
The tooltip did not make it clear whether I was meant to check or uncheck the box to withhold Class 0 poll responses during an active time deadband. When I was going through the Geo SCADA help, I noticed that this item has a different description in all Geo SCADA versions of the help files, e.g. 2020 help and 2022 help. It is called 'Filter Class 0 Data' and mentions that ticking the checkbox withholds Class 0 data during an active deadband timer.
When I go onto RemoteConnect, the setting description matches what I see in my version of Geo SCADA ('Always Include Time Deadband in Class 0'). Furthermore, it specifically says that unticking the checkbox will withhold Class 0 data during the active time deadband.
Base on my testing, it looks like the Geo SCADA help documentation is incorrect and that the x70 SCADAPack follows what is described in RemoteConnect, i.e. you need to untick this for Class 0 data to be withheld. This was done specifically on a 470.
Is it possible for this to be fixed so that in future others can avoid the same confusion that I went through today?
