Airodis 5.1.2 Release Notes

August 2017

Upgrade Notes:

This release includes a new driver framework, and many instrument drivers have been rewritten from scratch. Most of these drivers have slightly different names, and the user may need to select the new driver in the station configuration. These new drivers may present a slightly different report/channel configuration which will need to be manually mapped to existing data.

Important – see ‘Migrating Aurora Nephelometer Channels’ below

Major Changes

• Rewrite all Nephelometer drivers (M9003, Aurora). The new drivers now acquire the correct channel configuration
• Added Ambilabs Nephelometer driver

• Rewrite HiVol/MicroVol driver
• Added GroveStreams driver (for Neigborhood Monitor support)
• Added Ecotech Congrego driver
• Add ETL3000 driver
• Alarm/Invalidation rules now include many more rolling data functions
• Remote screen restructured to work from remote clients (not just from server). Note – The remote screen is not implemented for Aurora and HiVol/Microvol at this time. This will be re-added in a future release.
• Add alarm window to rules

Minor Changes

• Add overrides for mindistance/maxdistance in Radar graph
• Thumbnail images in reports are now stored more efficiently (no recompression)
• Refreshing previews in GUI now takes object size and aspect ratio into account
• Added period (‘.’)to accepted CSV date delimiters
• Updated CSV date pattern to be more robust
• Re-implemented FTDI USB connection code (for Serinus/EC9800)
• Fix crash when rendering diurnal graphs for scalar function on vector-paired channel.
• Fixed DB commit failure on virtual stations.
• Fix alarm buffers containing one too many records. Disabled alarms no longer added to list of current alarms in client GUI
• Fixed capture percent not being applied to diurnal points.
• Fix CR800 checksum condition where \xBD was not being handled properly.
• Update Pakbus drivers to assume end date (not start date)
• Fix Pakbus issue where EOF was not being correctly detected when downloading .TDF file
• Make CSV/ADF export use culture invariant number formatting
• Prefer user-defined report interval when logger reports zero interval
• Rename AbsMin/AbsMax to MinAbs/MaxAbs to reflect their true behaviour (including "TimeOf" functions)
• Fix time zone (and conversion) not being applied in table previews.
• Duplicated rule 'add' buttons to be next to delete buttons
• Added support to clone rules
• Added azimuth offset to Radar graphs
• Fixed front projection radar graphs incorrectly erasing gaps Azimuth offset is now applied in a way that also corrects BAM correlation
• MatchLabelAsID also matches labels on default channels
• Disable workspace discovery on SqlCE
• Apply decimal places to value formats in alarm description
• HTML and Text report output are now the message body in sent email (not attachment)
• Don't allow services to start unless they are configured to run on localhost.
• Fix autoinvalidation applying to one record too many
• Fix station limit banner not disappearing when station is deleted.
• Reimplement all data type formats in drivers (shared library code)
• Fix XML namespace issues on scheduler file
• Fix possible null reference exception when loading audit entries
• Fix duplicate entry when loading audits for virtual stations
• Report scheduler now reports multiple states to report manager (not just “paused”)
• Tweak data column headers in client (added channel numbers; more label space)

• Force sync of single station with server before downloading
• Fix exception when viewing download log on new/unsaved station.
• Enable compiler optimizations on client release builds

• Change SqlCE MaxDatabaseSize to 4000 (prevent DB corruption)
• ACOEM rebranding
• Set installer to require Win7 or later
• Fix crash on Client close when data manager has been shown
• Fix AQS timezone calculations

Migrating Aurora Nephelometer Channels

In this release, the Aurora Nephelometer drivers have been rewritten from scratch. There are two major differences:

• Logger Channel IDs are now mapped to the “VI” parameter on the instrument. They are no longer incrementally numbered from zero.
• The DIO State channel has been removed
• Temperatures are now returned in the same unit as the instrument

This means that the instrument channels won’t correctly map to the Airodis channels (and their historic data) without being corrected by hand. To correct this, perform the following steps:

• Click “Acquire Config”
• When asked to clear the existing channel configuration, select “Yes”
• On the last channel, add 1 to the channel number (first column)
• Working backwards, add 1 to all channel numbers except the first channel (Major State)
• Save the configuration

The end result should be a channel list without a channel “2”. For example, this is how an Aurora 3000 should appear:

Airodis 5.1.0 Release Notes

March 2016

Upgrade Notes:

 

In order to reduce file fragmentation and prevent performance degradation on large data sets, the indexes have been changed for the main data tables in SQL server. These will automatically get upgraded when Airodis 5.1.0 first starts. Note that large tables (> 1GB) can take several minutes to re-index. The status of the upgrade can be seen from a console view, or from within the Kryptonite logger. This upgrade procedure takes place within a transaction which will roll back on failure. Despite this, it is still recommended to have a backup of your data handy prior to upgrading.

The default database growth has been changed from 1MB to 10%. This was to scale better with large databases (so 1GB of data is not broken into 1000 fragments on disk). However, older databases will not be automatically updated. We strongly recommend reviewing the SQL autogrowth setting on existing databases.

These changes do not affect local (SQL Compact) databases.

Major Changes

• Added support for Leosphere WindCube
• Added support for MSSQL/MySQL data import drivers
• Dropped support for Windows XP
• Added Radar Graphs (supports only WindCube)
• Rewrite of core averaging calculations
• Client can now detect and display/edit data gaps in the data manager

Minor Changes

• Added AQS reasons to default reason list
• AQS reports now allow specifying decimal places
• Added Log10 and LogAvg functions to reports
• Fix crash when populating cells with audit entries from non-existent rule.
• Inherit decimal places from channel when viewing audit cells.
• Format InitialValue/FinalValue cells to match channel decimal places.
• BAM1020 driver now detects ancient (2.x) firmware during FW version test.
• Show station limit in corner of client in shareware
• Changed channel pointer format in reports to 3 distinct numbers for station, report and channels (channels specified in old format will continue to work)
• Improve performance of editing data with lots of audit entries.
• Add Serinus raw file import
• Updated channel list in Serinus driver
• Prevent concurrent threads from opening/closing/scanning FTDI USB (e.g. Serinus) devices at the same time.

Major Changes

• Support for Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64)

Notes for installing on the new operating systems

The Airodis installer requires that Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 is installed or activated on both the Windows 8.1 Professional and Server 2012 operating systems before Airodis can be installed.

Details on how to install .Net Framework 3.5 can be found here:

• Windows 8.1: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
• Server 2012: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn482071.aspx

Platform Support Discontinued

Windows XP (x86) - in line with Microsoft’s end of support for the Windows XP operating system Ecotech will no longer be officially supporting Airodis running on the Microsoft Windows XP platform after the 5.0.9 release.  While Airodis may still run on Windows XP Ecotech will not be actively testing Airodis on that platform nor looking at bugs raised against Airodis running on the platform.

Customers are urged to update their Airodis host operating system if they are still running on Microsoft Windows XP.
