Access these settings by clicking on the Options menu at the top of the LogPlot program window, and selecting Check for Updates Settings.
- Check RockWare Website for Newer Version on Startup: We post new revisions of LogPlot frequently, with new features and bug fixes. Leave this option checked if you want the program to look for an updated revision on the RockWare web site each time the program is started up, and to display a message if an update is found.
If your maintenance is current you will be eligible to download and install a newer build of the program. If you let your maintenance lapse and do not wish to be reminded of newer builds which are not available to you, then you should disable this option.
Successful search for updates requires an internet connection.
- Proxy Settings: If you use a proxy server to access the internet you can, if needed, specify manual settings for the proxy.
- Resolve all host names locally: Use no proxy, therefore all host names are resolved locally either with the machine's 'Hosts' file or the domain's DNS server.
- Use System Settings: By default LogPlot will use your system defaults.
- Use Manual Settings: LogPlot checks for updates and downloads the new installation (and any other Help menu downloads you may choose) using the http protocol on port 80. If you have to enter a user name and/or password for downloads via http, you can try using these Manual Settings to bypass the Proxy.
- Proxy address: Enter the address for your proxy server. Since LogPlot is only looking at http protocol, the proxy server address can be entered as:
"http=http://my_http_proxy" or more simply by the server name "my_http_proxy".
- Proxy ignore list: If allowed, enter www.rockware.com to have the proxy server ignore this address and allow access to the RockWare website. You may need to set this up on the system level. For more information on the proxy settings (address and ignore list) see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383996(VS.85).aspx.
- Proxy UserName: Enter your user name here.
- Proxy Password: Enter your username's password in this prompt.
! If your proxy server is blocking access to the RockWare website for update information and downloads, and the manual settings are not permitted by your organization or they aren't working properly, you should deactivate the "check RockWare website for newer version on startup" option. You can always refer to our user forum for postings on the availability of new builds of the program, and download them manually from our website.
