2019-11-21 - Version 1.4.0

Improvement:

• Trace Messages: If nothing is selected to be traced, a warning shows "No trace data selected."

Bug fixes:

• Trace Messages: If nothing was selected to be traced, the help file was not displayed
  
  

2019-10-08 - Version 1.3.12

Improvements:

• Instruments: Added the keyword "protect=1" for section [global]. A compressed instrument is encrypted and does not run on another device

Bug fixes:

• Data records of error frames were sometimes incorrect and did no contain the correct bus number
• Data records of error-frames did not have the correct DLC (set to 4)
• In case of a Bus-Off during transmission of tx-lists in a scene the bus was not set back to Bus-On again
  
  

2019-10-01 - Version 1.3.11

Improvements:

• Added the trace modes multi file and single session. This allows continuous logging onto the SD card
  
  

2019-09-02 - Version 1.3.10

Improvements:

• Added differnt logger operation modes: single file, multi file linear, and multi file circular
  
  

2019-08-27 - Version 1.3.9

Bug fixes:

• Timestamps are only 32 bit, in case the logger splits the data into several files it was not possible to create the correct timestamp per file
• The header of each log file now contains a 64 bit timestamp. An update of the PEAK-Converter tool is required to make use of the 64 bit timestamps
  
  

2019-03-25 - Version 1.3.8 / 1.3.7

Improvements:

• Enums are now supported in instruments
• The format-strimg for labels can be omitted if only a simple number should be displayed (e,g, "%d", "%u", "%f" ). The format-string is automatically selected based on the datatype of the variable (unsigned, signed, float, string, enum)
• The format-string can be used for more complex outputs, e.g. "%03d °C", "%5.2f mV" etc.
• The plotter can scroll the x-axis. For this, define scroll_x=[0|1]
  
  

2019-01-07 - Version 1.3.6

Bug fixes:

• In case of a multiplexed messages, the wrong variable was used as a multiplexer. Therefore the multiplexed variables were not updated correctly
  
  

2018-09-10 - Version 1.3.5

Improvements:

• Instruments: No text output while a compressed instrument is loaded
• Instruments: The display brightness can be adjusted via CAN. For this, define the variable "dev_brightness" with type unsigned and the value range is 0 to 100. If a scene makes use of this, brightness is set to minimum at startup of the scene
• Instruments: The buzzer can be activated via CAN. For this, define the variable "dev_buzzer" with type unsigned. Value range is 0 (off) and 1-14 for different predefined sounds
• Instruments: The keys enter, up, and down can be addressed via CAN. For this, define the variable "dev_keys" with type unsigned and the values 1=Enter, 2=KeyUp, and 3=KeyDown
  
  

2018-08-20 - Version 1.3.4

Bug fixes:

• Correction in parsing of *.ins files
• Scenes did not schow ° when using newer modules with TFT display
  
  

2018-06-21 - Version 1.3.3

Bug fixes:

• Plotter could not display signed data correctly
  
  

2018-05-24 - Version 1.3.2

• Bug fix: Tracer settings (type of trace) were not stored correctly, therfore automatic trace start after power-on did not capture the desired data.
  
  

2017-12-07 - Version 1.3.1

• Added a new option to the device settings to swap the display orientation (0°/180°)
• Added a new feature: Scenes can now transmit CAN frame sequences. For this there are 3 types of transmit lists: init list, cyclic list, and exit list
  
  

2017-07-28 - Version 1.2.3

• The transparency parameter of instruments can now be set to 2 which enables a recalculation of overlapping transparent instruments
  
  

2017-06-17 - Version 1.2.1

• Several changes in Device Settings due to the new hardware version and to increase the readability
  
  

Important note:

Older PCAN MiniDisplays without casing (IPEH-002262, before serial number 150) and casing (IPEH-002262-KSM01, before serial number 12215) must be updated to the firmware 1.1.7 before they can be updated to firmware 1.2.1 or higher.

2017-06-19 - Version 1.1.7

Improvements:

• In addition to decimal, the parameter muxvalue of instruments can be defined in hexadecimal
• Added a new tracer option to set a shutdown time (Tracer timeout) in case no error/data is received for this time
• Added display dimming with timeout

Bug fixes:

• Bitrate detection was not working correctly since version 1.1.3
• The playing back traces with channel 2 was not working
• Fixed reset of CAN channel 2
  
  

2016-11-04 - Version 1.1.5

Improvements:

• Added logging and playback support
• The log file size can be selected by user now
• The information to be logged can be chosen by the user (error, data, or error and data)
• New for instrument panels: Possibility to use multiplexed CAN signals
• New for instrument panels: if a signal of a label has a timeout, a special timeout string can be displayed

Improvements:

• Added help files
• When an instrument file is quit, the system returns to the Instrument Selection menu instead of the Main menu
