Troy, Be sure to look for some of my previous posts on the subject - they will have more detail. I am hoping they will make a lot of improvements soon (after V4.0) to make it quicker for us to get in, make our changes, and get out; but at the moment, the only good thing I can think of is that it has a very good CALC block editor, and there are cut and paste capabilities. If you like dividing your blocks into strategies, or are into use of templates and bulk building, Foundation Fieldbus, and have other special configuration needs it may provide more benefit to you. We have V1.2.2 at one site I work at, and we are currently working on a project to upgrade a V6.3 system to V8.8 with the FCS configurator at another site I work at that will go on-line near the end of the year. One really big difference is that it is a single database for all of the CPs that resides on the Galaxy server, and the host AW does not have any CP source files. If you are used to upgrading part of the DCS because you have different CP host AWs, be sure you discuss and work out how you are going to this in the future with a Galaxy. Conroe & Dayton , TX.
