New: Transmission correction added / verified (old fixed correction removed)
Bug: At config window, when changing the profile selector, the default axle selector was not updated automatically in certain conditions
Bug: Added both “displacement_comp” and “drivetrain_corr” to test loading to avoid incompatibilities

21/SEP/2021, release 4.0.43:

Bug: Step Test reviewed to cut the end of the test (to avoid the test is longer than the processed data, as the total test time is longer)
Bug: Weather Station timeout increased to 2 seconds
Bug: Decrease sensibity to “controls of screen” check. Translate the message to Neerlands
Bug: Export channels now also exports the interpolation data and calculated formulas

22/JUN/2021, release 4.0.42:

Bug: “Add Static Losses” table was not being added to new tests
Bug: “Add Static Losses” was not updating all loaded tests (first one was not updated)

5/JUN/2021, release 4.0.41:

Bug: Direct mode: “steady-then-inertia” didn’t apply the steady mode
Bug: Direct mode: “ramp end event” was not always activated after the test is performed, and the target rpm was not re-loaded for the next test
Bug: (throttle, air, brake) Sliders were not correctly updated when entering again to Gauges Window
Bug: Add decimals to “Add Static Losses” table
Bug: number of rows increased to 20 in “add static losses”, also the last row was not stored (now it is)
Bug: Review Test Average function, it had glitches at the beginning

8/APR/2021, release 4.0.40:

New: 2nd CAN dataframe with roller, engine and ratio information (PC to DAQ’s CAN)
New: When using SP1 to SP4 devices the checkbox “show all fields” is now hidden
New: Make the “enable_hub4” setting automatic
New: OBDII review: errors (NO DATA, LV RESET, etc) are now reported in the Status area. Initial connection has been reviewed, Protocol is set to AUTO now during the connection
Bug: In certain conditions the Ramp mode didn’t start
Bug: Default axle forced to “Front” for SP1, SP3 and SP4, to avoid problems if using in the same computer several DAQs (it rarelly did happen)
Bug: It didn’t store / retrieve correctly the channel’s “time offset” setting

29/JAN/2021, release 4.0.39:

New: Version number now changed to 3 numbers for easier reference
Bug: Some feedback commands were detected as wrong (although the configuration frames were ok)
Bug: Second graph in ‘chart’ mode had bugs in the channel names

16/JAN/2021, release 4.0.38.2:

Bug: Run time error (division by zero) when weather conditions are zero (in certain norms). It was caused by pressure = 0 for the norms that don’t have a minimum defined, now it always limits always to 800 mbar min internally

31/DEC/2020, release 4.0.38.1:

New: Gauges. Setting added to define a plain background colour (to ease overlays, when necessary)
Bug: ‘HUB-2 Dyno Type’ (AWD Front-Rear) has been full reviewed so the SW only allows AWD mode for this dyno, please note that AWD is the mode for SP5-AWD and SP6-AWD (2 cells) when used for a HUB-2 dyno
Bug: Report. Data Table. RPM was “red and bold” after a TQ peak line (if no other columns were present)
Bug: Full review of “Reversed Ramp Mode” (previous versions only worked in inertial and fixed brake mode)
Bug: SP4 compatibility issue in Ramp mode: SP4 sends the PID REF command within the Channles DataFrame, and this caused a failure in the data reception, now this key will not be used to identify a Command DataFrame
Bug: Calc RPM was not available with SP1, only present in 4.0.38

1/DEC/2020, release 4.0.38:

New: SP1+ Support

13/NOV/2020, release 4.0.37.14:

Bug / New: AddStaticLosses operation has been reviewed. There were some bugs in the editting window (now fixed), and the operation has been slightly modified from ‘only EHP mode’ to now all modes (with and without losses). Please note that now this mode is mainly envisaged for Engine Dynos and WHP measurement on rolling road dynos. In the case of the EHP mode (power corrected at engine) it will have almost no effect as static losses are added during acceleration but are subtracted during deceleration resulting in about 0 contribution to the total.
Bug: When clicking in the “Lift” button and the gauges window is open it entered into a loop (the lift message flickers) until the SW crashes
Bug: Some alarms were active when the channels (OBDII) were not available (for ‘Lower Than’ condition). Now those inactive channels are not checked
Bug: There were hidden controls in Sequencer / Step Test Window that were shown when the “steady timer” was active
Bug: OBDII. PID list disapeared after clicking on DTC tab. Other cosmetic improvements

14/SEP/2020, release 4.0.37.13:

New: Now it allows to interchange HP and TQ at main window
Bug: Scroller control did not work fine, it was showing some glitches in certain cases (FIFO operation), now it is fixed
Bug: Histogram window always took the first test (no matter which one was the active test)

9/SEP/2020, release 4.0.37.12:

New: When importing old files (V3.8) the SW applies converts and applies default settings to get the most approximated result to the old version
New: Glitch Filter added to relay feedback, even for correct DataFrames to avoid spurious messages activation (lift message and similar). This is specially useful for Bluetooth link or other connections which can have a few missing samples
Bug: “RemapRPMchannels” setting was not stored correctly (it was always set when starting the SW)

7/SEP/2020, release 4.0.37.11:

New: Now “semaphore window” takes the calculated RPM from the SP5/6 existing channel to avoid issues (cases in which the internal varibale was not calculated and the test didn’t start). For SP1,SP3, SP4 it calculates de channel and then it uses it at “semaphore window”
Bug: Versions from 4.0.37.6 have problems with single roller modes (wrong power)

1/SEP/2020, release 4.0.37.10 (DO NOT USE):

New: Direct Mode: the ‘unblock’ function is automatically commanded when engine is at a safe speed after a run (speed below ramp starting speed)
New: Sequencer: New command (RECORD=WAIT) added to use the ‘automatic start’ function
Bug: Sometimes the Number-type controls had a black area below (specially when changing from another control type to number). Now the SW assigns the correct space for the Number control
Bug: Sequencer performance has been increased for assignment commands (to not add extra delays)

21/AUG/2020, release 4.0.37.9 (DO NOT USE):

Bug: Sequencer operation has been optimized to not receive a high impact by the updating speed from Gauges Window (in some cases it was almost stuck)

20/AUG/2020, release 4.0.37.8:

New: Gauges updating frequency setting added (only at Registry)
Bug: SP6. Fixes bug in AWD / 4-sensor mode (was not adding the inertial apportion of the 2nd sensors)
Bug: Bug in ‘Options’, it was activating the ‘target on AD5’ function which lead to bad operation of steady mode
Bug: XDS: 3rd scale has been added suzuki (SDS) to match RMZ250 engine RPM scale (max 18000 rpm vs DL1000 max 16000 rpm) (ongoing)

3/AUG/2020, release 4.0.37.7 (DO NOT USE):

Bug: Sequencer does not accept PARAMs with decimal places
Bug: Gauges: controls are verified to be inside the window limits to avoid hidden controls (which can cause a slow response)
Bug: “Stop Mode Options” were not resizing when the controls were resized
Bug: “Record Test” frame was not correctly resized (depending on the visible sliders)
New: “Allow Resize” added to advanced options (for Gauges Window and PID Monitor)

9/JUL/2020, release 4.0.37.6 (DO NOT USE):

Bug: Interpolation had problems with negative voltages, now the interpolation graph has been updated and the interpolation table can work with a zero volt value (the new condition to state ‘end of table’ is that the last voltage is lower than the previous one: 5V -> next 0V, or -4V -> next -5V)
Bug: CIO driver was initialised only first time, but if CAN connection is closed and opened again it is not initialised again (and didn’t work correctly)

9/JUL/2020, release 4.0.37.5:

Bug: ‘Standard’ (old) sequencer do not execute the timing accurately. Now it has been reviewed
Bug: The yellow box shows the first characters of the file name but it often begins with the same text. Now it shows only the last characters (they include the test number)
Bug: When making the Average from 2 tests. It did not create the exact average. Now it also processes also the rpm values to get a better result (although it is not allways exactly in the middle)
Bug: In MANUAL mode sometimes it showed channels in the graph that have not been activated in the channel list. Now it is fixed
Bug: If MANUAL scale settings were not stored and were zero when reopening the software. Now they are stored correctly.
Bug: With Average HP feature (between 2 rpm’s) the dashed line always had the same color (red). Now it uses the color according to the group by channels / group by tests setting.

26/JUN/2020, release 4.0.37.4:

New: When closing the SW, it will close the Throttle and Ignition Relay
Bug: When removing hidden tests (specific option) it was asking for every modified file, instead of using the general (Yes, Yes to all, No, No to all) question
Bug: Sequencer: when using “RECORD=ON” and “WAIT_END_OF_TEST” in the next line some tests were abnormally short (ended sooner than expected), now a small delay has been added after starting the recording to fix this spureous operation
Bug: Power and TQ peak had an error of 1 second in ‘graphs vs time’ mode

9/JUN/2020, release 4.0.37.3:

Bug: XDS-Honda, was not updating channels correctly

8/JUN/2020, release 4.0.37.2:

Bug: Several FTDI ports can be scanned during the search function to avoid incompatibilities between some descriptors that can create a conflict
Bug: ‘Keep on top’ setting was working the oposite
Bug: When ‘OBDII Interpolation’ setting was out of range it generated a runtime error: fixed

21/MAY/2020, release 4.0.37:

New: Import / Export Channel Settings, specifically for CAN channels
Bug: External CAN channels: when exitting the External Data-Sources window connection with ECU stopped
Bug: Alarms: setting Higher/Lower was wrong when using other languages (text must start with H and L, then the translated word can be used after them)
Bug: Test was cut excessively at the end (a few ms), this was affecting mainly to engine tests (only acceleration), as coasting tends to be longer and a few ms are not noticeable
Bug: Max tests increased to 40
Bug: Double-ramp test settings removed from config so it always reset after restarting to avoid problems in the next tests
Bug: “Standard” sequencer did not load the changes when performing a run from the gauges window
Bug: Don’t show full path, only filename

Bug: Reviewed “resize_controls” / “big screen” mode, problems with TAB controls (text and buttons)
Bug: PWS CAN check issue: it showed timeout on existing PWS (communication was ok)
Bug: Number of max tests was not updated internally. Exceeding test now are recorded even when the auto_Save setting is disabled to avoid losing those tests
Bug: Engine Inertia was not updated / initialised when entering Gauges Window, only after re-typing it the software updated it and was showing less power

18/JAN/2020, release 4.0.36.3:

New: Ramp OFF Threshold feature, it improves the brake disconnection reaction time when the clutch message has been already displayed. This feature NEEDS a firmware update!. This has been mainly added for the HS-PWS-D power supply Please note that if you are not using the new HS-PWS-D then the FW update is NOT necessary. (otherwise it does not take advantage of the fast response of the power supply)
New: A list of fixed OBDII PIDs has beed added, some old cars do not provide the PID list and the software will not list them, despite the car is able to send the info for these PIDs (channels / sensors)
Bug: SP1 and SP3 config commands (load cell, servo, etc) was not being sent to device. This was not affecting to most units as all processing is performed in the software, but may result confusing (for instance load cell calibration will not be shown in LCD)
Bug: It sends the Drive Mode command too often: when “keep gauges visible” is set (at startup) and also for SP1
Bug: Report now takes font and size from main config (was fixed in previous versions)

New: Added again the “channel / transmission” setting to profile as default axle (specially for using SP5/6 with two one axle dynos). It still is posible to remain “blank” so no axle is selected by default.
New: Add “RAMP_RPM_CHANGE” and “RAMP_VALUE_CHANGE” to Sequencer (SEQ)
New: Function to remove all hidden tests has been added to ease comparing several tests and selecting a few of them (load say 6 tests, hide all of them except 2, and then use ‘remove hidden tests’ to keep only those 2)
Bug: Using a calculated channel to rewrite the roller channel (advanced function) now it is even more limited to avoid that an accidental formula added to this channel can cause the roller channel to be zero and graphs not displayed correctly
Bug: Report, when “first page” option is selected the standard report splits the tests between pages, while with the other two (none, and 2nd page) it was working. Fixed
Bug: Was taking inertia from front roller when doing a Rear axle test in an AWD dyno (SP5)
Bug: Some windows showed a runtime error when resizing big screens (now all of them have been reviewed to use ‘long’ data type)
Bug: Now it does not allow to choose “rear” and “AWD” modes for SP1 to SP4 devices
Bug: Number Controls are no longer square when resized from properties window “x N” setting, and maximum size is now limited to avoid the ‘huge control’ bug

Bug: “Test / Generate RPM channel” was not working
Bug: Report showed bad power at engine value at summary
Bug: Recorded power value did not seem stable in all computers: Problem was caused by HP mechanic vs HP metric, now changed to HP (mech) and PS (metric) so the difference is more clear
Bug: When changing inertia to a lower value (at details window) the losses part were not recalculated (for “add method” active)
Bug: “roller blocked” message reviewed, it was shown sometimes when SP5 was OFF. A timeout has been addeded in case the connection is lost

New: For 2-sensor and 4-sensor modes Inertia Front / Rear fields have been splited into Front 1 / Front 2 and Rear 1 / Rear 2
Bug: For 4-sensor modes: the internal reference Calc RPM variable was calculated only from roller F1, this gave problems when R1 and R2 were used, now the method changes depending on the active rollers
Bug: problems when calibrating F2 Cell (Front 2) depending on the selected traction mode, now the visible cells and buttons for calibration depend only on device: SP5 (2 cells) or SP6 (4 cells)
