<<<<<<<<<< VITALS CHANGE LOG >>>>>>>>>> ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** 06/17/2015 Vitals Desktop 3.4.0 New Features --------------------------------- -When Vitals Desktop starts and it does not open the database, it will alert the user that the database was not found. User can search for the existing database or create a new database. -Latitude and Longitude fields added to the Valves table. The most accurate GPS data should be saved in these fields. Data will not be modified or overwritten by activity GPS data. -Vitals Desktop will always look in the Valves table first for latitude and longitude, ensuring the most accurate GPS data is on the handheld controller. If there is no Latitude or longitude in the valves table, Vitals Desktop will average the latitude and longitude from the activities table and export the averaged data to the handheld controller. Vitals Desktop 3.4.0 Fixes ------------------------ -Vitals desktop would create a new empty database "vitalsdb.vcd" and save it in C:\Program Files\Vitals Desktop\db folder (Default location) if it could not open the database. User is now alerted if the database cannot be opened. Vitals Desktop 3.4.0 Known Issues --------------------------------- -Chinese characters entered on the controller not showing up properly in Vitals Desktop after data transfer. -Vitals Desktop might crash after it finishes installing Vitals Mobile to the controller. This seems to happen only once after a new install. -Vitals Desktop might crash if user clicks outside the torque chart window while it is doing an animation. Vitals Mobile 3.4.0 New Features --------------------------------- -New GPS Search screen added for easy viewing of Valve information like distance, bearing, latitude, longitude and HDOP values. -Added No Activity Link. Clicking on a Valve ID and then OK in the About screen will bring the user to the New activity screen with the valve information filled in. -GPS Search Radius. Filters out valves beyond a distance specified in GPS Search Radius. GPS Search Radius added to the settings screen. Default is set to 50'. -Changed transducer error message to indicate valves may break when faulty transducer reading detected. Transducer Error message will remain in the torque bar until RESET is pressed or until faulty transducer readings are corrected. -GPS COM Port and GPS Baud Rate will be set to COM8 and 115200 respectively by default on all the HC-100 controllers. Vitals Mobile 3.4.0 Fixes ------------------------- -Removed the Data COM Port option in the settings screen. Was causing communication issues when the COM Port was set to COM1. -The Autoconnect feature in the controller screen would take multiple re-tries before connecting. Fixed - connects on the first attempt as long as there is a valid connection. -Vitals was recording GPS Data before entering a Valve ID. Vitals will start recording GPS data to an activity only when the user is in the Activity screen or in the Controller screen. Vitals Mobile 3.4.0 Known Issues --------------------------------- -Cannot enter text or numeric characters in the NOTES field when using the Simplified Chinese language. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** 11/13/2014 Vitals Mobile 3.3.1 New Features --------------------------------- -Auto Detect Controller= Detects the COM Port if connected via Cable or Bluetooth. -Auto Detect GPS= Detects External GPS first, then searches for internal GPS.

Database template which has been fixed. -Expr1003 and Expr1008 showing up in CloseDir and CrossStreet fields in the Activity Report. Fixed. -Overlapping characters in the Activity Report. Fixed. -Activity Report not displaying all 20 Characters in ValveID field. TRQ Chart resized to fit characters. -Activities from Recon controllers not saving to database. Notes field contained a “square” character. This square character gets created when user hits the Enter key to skip to next line. This Character was not recognized by Vitals Desktop and it disregarded the Activity altogether. This has being fixed; now the Enter key shows as two parallel lines. -ValveId field was empty for activities saved in Vitals Desktop. Too many characters entered into ValveID field (over20). Fixed by having a limit of 20 characters in Vitals Mobile. Vitals Mobile 3.3.1 Fixes ------------------------- -1000th Activity not saving. TRQ charts can only go up to 999. It will prompt the user to do a Data Transfer first to the PC before starting another activity. Fixed. -Problems connecting to GPS and Controller. Removed the Lock Settings feature since the auto detect feature was causing problems. Fixed. -Transducer Error false readings on TM7. Decreased ADC range to check. Fixed. -Vary few COM Ports and Baud Rates to select from. Increased COM Ports and Baud Rate options. Fixed. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Vitals Desktop 3.2.1 New Features --------------------------------- -Previous versions' COM port range during Data Transfer for Controller/Data Logger and TMC-DT1 Controller was limited to COM1 through COM9. Range was increased to COM99 for USB to RS232 adapters. -Previous versions' New Database dialog box showed 'Open' button instead of 'Save'. Dialog box was changed from Open Dialog to Save Dialog for creation of new databases. Vitals Mobile 3.2.1 Fixes ------------------------- -GPS device detection caused Vitals Mobile to freeze with spinning wheel only in version 3.2.0. GPS device detection fixed and re-enabled in version 3.2.1. Vitals Desktop 3.2.1 Known Issues --------------------------------- -Activities from Silver Boxes will not save to database after Data Transfer. -Overlapping of characters in the Activity Report. -Expr1003 and Expr1008 showing up in CloseDir and CrossStreet fields in the Activity Report. -If a Valve ID has more than 12 characters, it will get cut off from the Activity Report because of the size of the Torque Chart. -Activities from Recon controllers will not save to database after a Data Transfer if the Notes field of an activity has a “square” character. This square character gets created when the user hits the Enter key in the keyboard to skip to the line below. This Character will not get recognized by Vitals Desktop and it will disregard the Activity altogether, and therefore not saving it. -ValveId field is empty for activities saved in Vitals Desktop; if the user enters a ValveId (in the Recon Controller) that has more than 20 characters, it will not populate that field once it has being transferred to Vitals Desktop. -Vitals table in MS Access lists Version 3.1.0 when it should be 3.2.1. Vitals Mobile 3.2.1 Known Issues ----------------------- -Vitals Mobile does not saves an activity if the Controller already has 999 activities saved on the controller; this is because you cannot have more than 999 trq charts on the device. -Valve ID field does not have a character limit. -Enter key creates square characters in Notes field. -Lock Settings causes more problems with the Auto Detect feature. -Not many COM Port and Baud Rate options. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Vitals Desktop 3.2.0 New Features ------------------------------- -Multi-language support. -Vitals Desktop will keep track of the current language being used and the language last loaded to Vitals Mobile.

Vitals Desktop 3.2.0 Fixes ------------------------ -If a valve has activities associated with it, you can change the ValveID of a single activity associated with that valve, or the valve itself, and the rest of the activities associated with that valve will keep the old ValveID. The ValveID is now bound together between valves and activities - if you change the ValveID of a valve, all activities will update with the new ValveID; you cannot change the ValveID through an activity; you cannot create a new activity without creating a valve first. -Valve count in "Browse Valves"/"Browse Activities" showed "-1/0" when there were no valves in the database. This will now show "0/0". -Print Detail would only print the most recent activity performed on a valve. Print Detail will now show user-selected information for every activity associated with a valve. -Users could not perform Activity Report of custom data fields if there was a space or special character in the name of the field. Users can now print Activity Reports using custom data fields named with spaces and special characters. -Valve Info section in "Browse Valves"/"Browse Activities" caused Vitals program to crash if clicked and there were no valves in the database and the Valve Info section was empty. There is now no effect from clicking in this box. -Vitals program receives error and quits when trying to perform database activity and then trying to set custom color. Fixed. -Vitals program receives error and quits when opening a data transfer session, choosing "Specify Valve Records" radio button, and then trying to view contents of combo boxes. Fixed. -Vitals program tries to open current database in MS Access. If MS Access is not installed this error appears and Vitals quits. -Deleting a field through Customize Data Fields did not delete the field in the MS Access database. Fixed. Vitals 3.2.0 Known Issues ----------------------- -(For foreign languages wishing to see date in a different format) Date format is dependent upon regional settings of Recon device and Windows desktop PC. -Foreign languages Chinese, German, and Japanese require a firmware update to enable special characters. (English firmware update required if firmware has been changed to one of the aforementioned firmwares) -Hemisphere GPS unit is sub-meter AFTER post-processing of collected coordinate information. -Battery power reading/indication of Windows Mobile operating system (produced by Microsoft) is unreliable. Battery percentage indicator in Vitals Mobile reflects battery reading from Windows Mobile operating system.
