v1.3
July 2026
Excel deliverables, change tracking, and your branding on every report.
- Excel workbook export — I/O list, filterable tag database with reference counts, alarm rationalization worksheet (with fill-in priority/setpoint/response columns), and AOI inventory. One checkbox in the app, or
-x on the command line
- Project compare — diff two L5X exports of the same project and get a change report: tags added/removed/modified, routines with logic changes down to the rung, module and AOI revision changes. Built for MOC documentation and pre/post-commissioning records
- Report branding — put your company name and logo on report title pages. Integrators: deliver client-ready documents under your own brand
v1.2
July 2026
Native Windows app experience and audience-specific report styles.
- Windows GUI — double-click the exe, add multiple L5X files, pick a style, generate in batch. Command line and drag-onto-exe still supported
- Three report styles: Full Reference (complete 10-section engineering reference), Commissioning Handover (narrative-first walkthrough in execution order with startup alarm checklist and I/O sign-off table), and Audit Summary (key metrics with assessments, alarm inventory, findings)
- Batch processing — generate reports for an entire project folder in one pass
