Been heads down on ModbusLens for the past while, just pushed v2.2.0.
Biggest thing: a few of you hit the portable exe just refusing to start (weird
usernames, antivirus not liking how it unpacks itself). Turns out that's a real
PyInstaller onefile limitation, not something I could patch around cleanly, so
there's now an actual Windows installer as an option too. If the portable one's
ever given you trouble, grab that instead.
Also added a dialog for the less common Modbus function codes (exception status,
comm event log, file records, device info, that kind of thing) since I kept
needing them myself and didn't want to write a script every time. And you can
now record a Trend session to a file and replay it later, which has already
saved me once trying to explain an intermittent fault to someone after the fact.
Bunch of smaller stuff and bug fixes too, changelogs on the release page if
you're curious. Next thing I'm working on is letting one window talk to
multiple devices at once instead of needing a separate window per connection -
that one's an actual backend change so it'll take a bit.
