Xpert2 v3.22.1.1 Beta

Published to BETA 01/05/2019

Change Highlights

  • When rescheduling an average module due to RTC change, if less than half the averaging duration remains, reschedule the average to begin on the next interval rather than starting over half-way through the current interval. This ensures small corrections to RTC backwards in time do not cause averages to reschedule in such a way that the average is bound to overwrite good data with bad for the interval just completed.

Xpert2 v3.22.0.15 Beta

Published to BETA 01/02/2018

Change Highlights

  • The quality of the vectored average outputs “sumX/n”, “sumY/n”, “VsumX/n”, and “VsumY/n” now follow the quality of the other (non-count) averaged outputs. Hence, if an insufficient number of samples is taken during the averaging period, the quality of these outputs will be marked bad. Previously, the quality was always good. In addition, the units assigned to these outputs is now blank, rather than “Cnt”.

Xpert2 v3.22.0.14 Beta

Published to BETA 11/20/2017

Published to BETA 06/30/2015

Change Highlights

  • Fixed a bug that could lead to an SMS transmission not being attempted when a GPRS transmission failure occurs
  • Fixed a bug that would result in two measurement threads stalling due to a race condition between accessing the global tags list and the setup blocks list. This scenario was most commonly seen when using the MinMax block with an active “relative value” (tag) defined
  • The Basic Val() function now rejects out of bound characters and performs a sanity check on the input string length. These changes help ensure the system remains stable even if a junk string is used as input to the Val() function
  • Fixed a minor memory leak in the Satlink self-timed and random parameter blocks that are used to store data for transmission
  • The RS232 block now requires the number of “skipped” characters to be received before looking for the EOL string. Prior to this change, the block would stop reading the input string if the EOL were detected within the initial set of characters that fell within the “skipped” character range

Xpert2 v3.18.0.1 Beta

Published to BETA 03/27/2015

Change Highlights

  • Enhancements to RS232 block (GPRS232.sll):
    • New “Parse starting index” property enables selecting a subset of fields from a sensor result, where the subset may start with the first parameter, or not. For example, you may use the RS232 block to measure a sensor returning 4 parameters, but you’re only interested in logging parameter 2. To achieve this, you would set “Parse starting index” to 2.
    • New “Display unused params on sensors tab” option enables hiding of “unused” parameters on the sensor tab, where an “unused” parameter is defined by a parameter whose block output does not have any blocks connected to it. Continuing with the example above, if you only want parameter 2 to show up on the sensors tab, you would clear the check for “Display unused params on sensors tab”.
    • New “output init” commands are available (up to 5), to be sent to the sensor on each measurement, prior to the get data command. This allows you to send special configuration or conditioning commands to prepare for the get data command, when needed.
  • LEADS sll notes now exclude extra white space before and after the note text, and will always have an EOF appended when added to the log. In addition, added a new CCSAIL command to retrieve model type, firmware version, and serial number.
  • Updated the default webserver header text to support enhanced browser capabilities
