IR Imager Changelog

----------------------------------

Version 3.21.3113.0
Fixed:
- Impeding false alarms at the end if initialisation phase.
- The false color images of snapshots (magnified) are taken after entering the
file name in the file dialog. This fixed and the false color image now is from the
same time es the radiometzric values.
- Updating the PIFTexts after changing the measuring mode (Min, Max,
Distribution...) to ensure the we have the correct unit (�C or %).
- Fixing problems with writing PIF-Configuration to autonomous devices.
- Fixing crashes when using the extended temperature range.

Version 3.20.3111.0
Fixed:
- Erroneous saving of the PIF-Type in the configuration dialog
- Crash with snapshot sequence (interval=0 -> fast as possible). The fix was to
ensure we don't start a new snapshot if the pending one is still not finished.
- Problem with wrong comparison in Autonomous.cpp when changing settings of Alarm
or Failsafe on PIFDO/AO. It could happen that the arrow of the send-to-device-
button remains red.
- Fixing the problem that AutoSkim was not executed with Ethernet-devices (e.g.
with TIM41).
- Correcting the display of the value next to measure area in case of mode "area
within limits".
- Preventing an exception that is raised if we access on PIFAI channels that we
recently deleted in the configuration dialog.
- Fixing problem when reading back the autonomous configuration simultaneously
with fast setting the PIFAO.
- Correct actualizing of the PIF-description in about box dialog after changing
the PIF-type in the configuration dialog.
- Problem with reading back autonomous configuration with a 1x1 pixel measure
area.
Added:
- Now there are two auto-modes for the temperature scaling of the temperature
profiles (same like in temperature time diagram they are called local and global).
- Staggering measure areas in single-line formats
- Displaying the Ethernet MAC address in the TCPIP settings dialog.
- Self updating the Software via FTP download.
- Supporting new Wiesemann & Theis USB-Server Gigabit with extended temperature
range. New TB number TB901160.
Changed:
- Updating Wiesemann & Theiss Software (USB Redirector, and WuTility)
- Now TIM M-1 is set to "Conditional AutoSkim" by default. So TIM M-1 behave like
the PI-imagers.
- Prevent start recording or snapshotting while direct temperature mode is
enabled.
- Now the combobox of the direct temperature mode is also visible if a format is
selcted that does not support this mode. But it is greyed out and a remark is
shown.
- The message "The port'COMx' does not exists" will only shown one time for the
not existing port. And if the port not exists the combobox for the comport in the
configuration dialog will be filled with the not existing port (and the remark that
it is not available).
- Calculating the average of a measure area on black-body-temperature-level. This
has also the consequence that we can present overlapping measure areas with
different emissivity's on the same pixels.
 - The decision to decrease the minimum temperature scaling difference from 4K to
1K now only depends from the fact this temperature range is calibrated for high
temp resolution. Is does not depend from the setting in the configuration any
longer.

Version 3.19.3107.0
Fixed:
- Ensuring that after switching the PIF-Mode from Stackable to Intern the analog
PIF-Output-Mode is not set to 0..10V
(because internal PIF does not support voltage output).
- Ensuring a time delay of 500 ms after clicking the button "Set configuration to
device" (TIM41) between the set and subsequently reading of the
configuration. This is to prevent corrupted data if the reading is done to
quickly after writing the configuration.
- Setting of recording framerate had no effect in advanced recording mode.
- Comparison of TChip-mode and TChip-fixed-value for autonomous devices is not
needed as TIM41 and TIM8 don't have a chip heater.
- Fixing the problem that the firmware update only works if the new firmware is
on the first entry in firmware section of downloadlinks.xml
- Ensuring that after downloading a configuration from an autonomous device the
Radial Distortion Correction is disabled.
This is because the autonomous devices do not support radial distortion
correction and it would cause a warning message when opening configuration dialog.
- Suppress warning for "incompatible settings in autonomous devices" for all
devices that are non-autonomous.
- Wrong moving direction of the horizontal ruler while continuous line scanning
with presentation "left to right".
- Crash during screen capture if temporary filename is missing or corrupted.
- Fixing a crash occurring when an Ethernet device is physically disconnected and
no other Ethernet adaptors are available at the computer.
- Since fixing of Version 3.18.3103 the actualization of the hotspot coordinates
did not work any longer.
- Smartphones and PC browsers can stream now TIMConnect content whatever is
required. Connection was slowed down before.
- On replaying a ravi that was created by a merged line scan the coordinates of
the self-trigger-rectangle in the second view were
limited to a senseless range.
- Fixing a crash if polygone areas and hotspots are used simultaneously.
- Erroneous showing of the (!)-sign beside calculated line rate in line scanner
dialog.
- Making the advanced recording group invisible if the recording mode is not
Video Sequence.
- Play rate limit is sometimes set to 0.0.
- If an older normalization directory exists after actualizing the normalization
files this was not taken to the calibration directory.
- Problems with hot/coldspot temperature readings.
- Fixing problems with Flag forecast with TIM M-1 imagers.
- Ensuring that the software is not closed until flashing of configuration to the
device is ready.
- All decimal separators that are not a point were presented as a comma in CSV
files. On a de-DE-system a point was used a decimal separator if it was set
to "system". Both is fixed.
Added:
- Optional deleting measure areas after switching to a narrow format with 1M
imagers
- Optional possibility to widen presentation of narrow formats of 1M imagers
- Enabling and disabling termination resistor for TIM8/TIM41
- Improved ConnectSDK sample (C#) to demonstrate managing of maesure areas.
Changed:
 - Extra window for flashing configuration to an autonomous device and for "line
scanner trigger extra time"
- Rejecting serial commands that are longer than 255 characters. (Responding with
"Unknown Command").
- Changed PIF-type-behavior. Until now the PIF-Type (internal, stackable ...) was
stored in the device (TIM8, TIM41) only.
Now the device is stored in the layout. For TIM8 it will be written to the
device immediately. For TIM41 it is written after using the write button
(this will work as of firmware 3818).
- New formats.def file (version 22) to support TIM41 MT.
- Removing RawToRavi-converter.
- Making "IR Image Only" as a possible mode of the WebServer more prominent.
- Using the decimal and value separator setting for the time/temperature diagram
too (same as for CSV snapshots).

was changed meanwhile.
- Fixing problems with coordinates of measure areas after loading a merger
layout.
- Ensuring that in the eventgrabber-window on showing a snapshot the temperatures
under the mouse cursor will be shown.
- Problem with Reading a stored a (automatic) line scanner slit that was written
to a file before.
- Fixing a problem with starting FastCaptureRecording.
- Correcting image artefacts at top and bottom of the 125Hz format of TIM640.
- Fixing the problem that getting/setting the mask for a measure area from an
autonomous device results in senseless pixel information.
- ConnectSDK gets notified now in case recording is finished and the recorded
file was copied into its final destination.
- Software crashed when a TIM41 is used with a layout that contains polygone-
shaped measure areas.
- Correcting image artefacts at top and bottom of the 125Hz format of TIM640 if
radial distorsion correction is enabled.
- Preventing that the software get stuck if with an autonomous device polygone
measure areas and a hotspot is used in the same time. This prevents always
comparing the measure area matrices of polygones after every updating of the
hotspot location.
- "Avoid Flag while recording" is now also working for Advanced Recording.
- Crash while layout change.
Changed:
- TIM40 as of HW3401 is working with classical auto-skim algorithm
- If two decimal places are available for a temperature range it will also export
two decimal places to csv files.
- Webserver mode IR Imager only streaming capability added which also works, if
TIMConnect is minimized or hidden by other windows.
