Airodis 5.1.2 build 6422

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

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 build 5889

March 2016

Release 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)

  • 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.
