Added colour coding for chart tables Connection Wizard: Optimized detection speed. Windows: for each recorder text windows are now grouped together in a tabular window Windows: for each recorder graphical windows are now grouped together in a tabular window. Mouse-right-click enables move to main window. Bug fixes: Burst: Fixed cases where burst in multiple recording intervals was incorrect (DST centi, DST tilt) Connection Wizard: Fixed an error detecting nano recorders. Recorder setup: When no recorder was selected for Dst micro the PS was not enabled. Recorder setup: When no recorder was selected for Dst centi or Dst CTD types, subtype definition could prevail when selecting other types. Changing range values in Dst tilt and Dst magnetic was removed. This could result in erroneous results when converting. Sequence definition: Error messages are now restricted to the number of intervals used. 7.24 Created 04-02-16 Connection Wizard: Type and serial can't be displayed if the logger was in measurement mode, displaying this information is removed 7.23 Created 01-02-16 Connection Wizard: Fixed an error where the baud rate would be incorrectly set causing Timeout on Command Echo Connection Wizard: Now displays Unavailable if that COM port is not accessible, for example used by another program Connection Wizard: Now when the icon turns green also displays the recorder type and serial 7.22 Created 15-01-16 Submit ticket now allows PNG files to be added as screenshots Tilt origo function correction for Dst Tilt 7.21 Created 20-11-15 New update system 7.20 Created 16-11-15 Fixed an error causing that blocked running multiple instances of the program DST magnetic, fixed an error that caused directions to be incorrectly calculated 7.19 Created 5-11-15 Added new export button to graph that creates an excel file in xslx format Enable conductivity logic limit now default on 7.18 Created 15-10-15 Minor enhancements to the connection wizard (F11) 7.13 Created 04-08-15 Fixed an error with DST CTD online measurements where salinity calibration constants weren't used 7.12 Created 03-07-15 Fixed a bug in Starmon-mini where it would not use extended memory in memory calculations 7.08 Created 20-05-15 Support for new version of Dst milli-F (v15) 7.03 Created 03-02-15 Fixed an error when converting data with Starmon mini freeze 7.02 Created 03-02-15 Minor changes to Starmon ES Support for Starmon LC 7.00 Created 27-01-15 New installation and product verification 6.17 Created 16-12-14 Online measurement errors: Incorrect use of decimal separators in online unit conversion Binary version of the file was not correctly generated. 6.16 Created 10-12-14 Fixed an error when connecting to a recorder with the connection wizard and using an invalid cable type. 6.15 Created 17-10-14 Bug fixes: Fixed an error when converting data for multiple logger types 6.14 Created 14-10-14 Enhancements: Support for DST nano version 10 Bug fixes: Fixed a possible error when disabling gridlines Fixed an error in histogram where number of points and other values were not correctly calculated for primary/secondary Fixed an error in histogram where the default bin values were incorrect Failed tickets are now saved and can be sent as email attachements to support@star-oddi.com 6.13 Created 17-09-14 Bug fixes: Fixed a possible error when retrieving data 6.12 Created 12-09-14 Bug fixes: Fixed an error when retrieving data and pressing cancel Fixed the response time of using cancel when connecting to a recorder 6.11 Created 12-09-14 Bug fixes: Removed series click and statistics is now changed using horizontal gridlines Fixed an error where primary / secondary data was not displayed correctly Table is now fully visible on load COM port is now displayed correctly in the bottom panel 6.10 Created 27-08-14 Enhancements: New connection wizard, shortcut key F11 New charts, faster loading Admin privileges are no longer required BDE is no longer used New recorder Starmon TD Online measurement displays data visually in real time for: Starmon TD, Starmon GT, Starmon ES, DST centi, DST milli, DST nano and DST micro 6.07 Created 25-03-14 Bug fixes: Important work-around for an unexpected battery drain during the start delay period: This error only effects DST Micro-T V17 loggers, and only if they have been started in the year 2014. By using SeaStar V3.07 this extra battery drainage is avoided. The Compass boundary limit test was disabled: This is now always´ON. By setting the boundary limit to 0° the limit test is effectively disabled. Starmon min-freez: This is product that is under testing at the moment. Sometimes in the Capture line Starmon mini received a -freez notation Enhancements: Compass heading correction: There is now an option to use last heading value if the ACC vector exceeds 1.2g or is less than 0.8g. This option is available in . The default setting in OFF. 6.06 Created 24-03-14 Enhancements/Miner bug fixes: Starmon mini port def.: Starmon mini now starts with the port selected and power ON. Default logger: When SeaStar is installed the default logger now is DST CTD. Previously it was DST CompTilt, but that logger has now been replaced by DST magnetic. DST CompTilt is still supported by SeaStar. RID comparison used in connecting to recorder: If the CRC test fails twice but RID comparison between the two RID´s retrieved, is a 100% match, then the RID transfer and the connection is deemed OK. The reason for this is that when a start procedure is halted midways, a new RID has partly been uploaded to the logger, and the CRC number will therefore inevitably be corrupt. 6.05 Created 24-03-14 Enhancements: Header correction: There is now an option to use last header value if Pitch or Roll exceeds 45° This option is available in . The default setting in OFF. Pressure UV truncation: Pressure unit values are now shown as zero if values are less than zero. The reason for this was mainly that decimal values outside calibration range, if not corrected by "Last" or "Max/Min" values can appear strange. This is user changeable in reconversion via . The default setting in ON. Bug fixes: MID file creation: MID file was not created if no data in recorder but data retrieved according to user def. Umin and Vmin range def.: User reconversion Umin and Vmin range definition option was expanded from 4095 to 65535 Depth calculation: The pressure calibrated value is in BAR. Converting to PSI or depth values in meters or fathoms is optional. Seawater density is default. The error lay in the conversion to meters mainly when selecting fresh water. CIT update: Seawater/Fresh water selection was not registered in the CIT file 6.04 Created 06-03-14 Bug fix: In Starmon-GT V1.0 only: Wrong address pointer for save data in SNMS. 6.03 Created 04-03-14 Support for Starmon mini freez This is a subtype of Starmon mini with a Pt100 sensor and range from 25°C to -80°C Minor changes Naming convention for DST CTD and DST CT Type selction: DST CTD & DST CT Type folder: DST CTD Bug fixes: Battery calculation correction for Dst milli and Dst Centi: If multible intervals where used with PS, sleep energy was estimated incorrectly. 6.01 Created 29-01-14 Bug fix: DAC error: If a serious error (like floating point error) occurs in conversion the DAC file is not closed. This error was introduced in V6.00 6.00 Created 29-01-14 Support for Starmon TD V1 Minor changes /bug fixes: View Online measurements Starmon mini HighRes improved energy calc. ROC calculation default off EP-ID error ignored if HW-ID OK 5.97 Created 22-11-13 Bug fix: Graphical prensentation of DST compass data. Only in V5,96. 5.96 Created 20-11-13 Support for Starmon GT V2 (GeoThermal) Support for Starmon ES V1 (External Sensors) 5.89 Created 01-07-13 Support for new version (V5) of Dst tilt. The new Dst tilt has: More memory Hardware tilt filter option Tilt measurement burst option, 5/sec Bug fix: Affects Dst Bird only: Light conversion fails. Unit values (in Lux) are shown as 0 in the DAT file. The DAB values are correct. Bug was introduced in version 5.80 OOR-options for light (Dst bird) have now been activated 5.85 Created 03-03-13 Bug fix: Compass Boundary Round Off was not available: Is now reinstated. This effects reconversion of Dst Compass, Dst CompTilt and Dst magnetic data. 5.84 Created 27-05-13 New Option: PNG A new chart image format option, PNG is now awailable. Bug fix: Changing bottom axis text. Problem in loading a chart template has been resolved. 5.83 Created 24-05-13 Bug fix: Fixed flash memory erase failure in Dst milli-F, introduced in V5.78 Reduced connection time yhat had increased in V2.80 5.81 Created 21-05-13 Bug fix: A fatal starup error in version 5.80: The libusb-1.0.dll file is missing. In this version the routines in the libusb-1.0.dll are included in the SeaStar.exe file. 5.80 Created 08-05-13 New option for Temperature Conversion: Linear Conversion Outside Calibration range Support for Starmon mini HighRes Starmon mini V22 has Higher Resolution (1m°C) and Acc = 25m°C 5.79 Created 17-04-13 Bug fix: A range check error is reported when starting up a new measurement sequence. Recorder types affected are: Dst CTD Dst Logic CTD Dst magnetic (V5) 5.78 Created 11-04-13 New Dst Centi V14 Burst support Intervals can now be defined in Burst mode, sampling 10 times per second. Enhanced Erase features for Dst milli-F When erasing the Flash memory prior to starting a new measurement sequence, commmunication errors could stop the erase process. Now if a wrong reply is received, then repeated attempts are made (5 times for each page/sector) Bug fix: For logic recorders (Dst logic, Dst P&R logic and Dst CTD logic) Number of measurements taken is reported correctly. In defining a new multible interval sequence, there was a error in checking a sertain combination of primary, secondary and number of measurements. 5.75 Created 28-01-13 New conductivity conversion enhancement: Conductivity and Salinity are now shown as zero if conductivity decimal values are less than calibration lower limit. The reason for this was that values outside calibration range, if not corrected by "Last" or "Max/Min" values can appear as "valid" low salinity values. This is user changeable in reconversion via . The default setting in "ON". Moved reconvert option: Options for Temperature Correction when "Temperature is Outside Calibration Range" (TOCR) that was previously in was moved to . These options now apply to Pressure, Conductivity, Light and Magnetic measurements. Enhanced temperature correction option: An option to disable circuitry temperature correction is now available for pressure, conductivity, light and magnetic measurements. Thus if temperature measurements are bad, missing or conversion coefficients are scrambled this option is available. Tilt 90° sum correction. Tilt measurements on each axis X,Y and Z are referenced to the horizontal plane and have a range of +-90°. The sum of the absolute values of these three axes is theoretically 90°. As the tilt values are based on acceleration measurements and the accuracy is limited, this is not always the case. Thus a 90° sum correction option is now available, based on relative value size optimization. Bug fix: A conversion error manifests itself as measurements are not converted or scrambled in conversion after approximately 7000 converted measurements. Bug appeared in V5.70, effecting "only" Dst CTD recorders, V8-V10. Raw data is not affected, thus in V5.75 reconversion gives correct results. Bug fix: Settings Conductivity OOR definition occasionally resulted in an "Access Violation" error. 5.70 Added new recorder type: Starmon TD 5.68 Added online feature for DST CTD 5.67 Added an error notification when attempting to start a bird tag with 45+ day delay 5.65 Tilt conversion has been reverted from 180° to 90°system. Adjust axis button function was corrected. 5.64 Minor Bug fixes: When installing from a CD, the working directory defined by Icons on Desktop and Start Menu was not sat correctly. Therefore SeaStar´s default file structure was created in the Icon directory. This has now be corrected. This bug appeared in V5.51 5.63 Minor Bug fix: If for some odd reason, the battery-life left registers in the recorder are zero, then the NMS battery calculation did not function correctly. This bug appeared in V5.62. 5.62 Bug fix: For Dst micro V11 a change was made in the real time clock (RTC) configuration. This means changes in the recorder registers, in the information data section (RID). SeaStar has not handled these changes correctly. This has been mended. New Wizard: A new menu item "Change battery Life" in the Wizard menu, is now available. This wizard was introduced to enable changes to a corrupt "Battery eneregy" register in the recorder. General User Interface (GUI) Changes: The "Reconvert definition" in the Settings menu was changed to "View Data". The two viewing related items in the "Retrieve Data" definition where moved to the "View Data" window. 5.61 Bug fix: Dst milli-F: In SNMS, before clearing RAM an extra delay was needed. Single Spike calculations: Regional settings applied. Dst CompTilt: Changin the magnetic vector referance is only an option in Dst magnetic Salinity offset: Max value is now 99999 (uS/cm) 5.60 Screenshots Submit ticket Temperature response time shift Tilt conversion Single spike correction Boundary Round Off Acceleration limit The *.A90 file Compass conversion Boundary Round Off Single spike Magnetic values conversion Magnetic field reference Magnetic temperature correction. The *.BMD file Minor changes Clock drift calculations. Update now tries 3 times to connect before resulting in a failure. Fixed an error where it was not possible to connect with old Starmon mini. TNR graph did not display all data columns, reconvert is needed to fix old data. 5.52 Bug fix: DAB file was not computed correctly, as pressure values where sat to zero (in 5.51) 5.51 Fixed a erroneous error detection and message when using “Multible Intervals” in defining a new measurement sequence. 5.50 Added acceleration calculations for DST comp-tilt, DST geomag, DST logic P&R, DST magnetic, DST P&R and DST-tilt. The calculations can be viewed with "View-Data Trend and Table-Acceleration". For logger types that support temperature only thers is now a "Temperature only logger" checkbox in the "NMS Time and Energy calc." settings. The result of data retrieval is now logged, bytes received X of Y. OOR forms were redesigned. Fixed a bug where reconvert would be disabled after a logger measurement was selected. Fixed a bug where "Save Window Data" would have an incorrect destination folder after reconversion. 5.35 Major Changes Minor Changes Battery life estimation for the DST nano recorder has been improved. 5.33 Major Changes Minor Changes Battery life estimation for the DST micro recorder has been improved. SeaStar detects the memory size of the DST nano recorder. 5.32 Major Changes Minor Changes Fixed an error when retrieving data from T-only or CT recorders, this error cancelled automatic loading of the graph. 5.31 Major Changes Minor Changes ChangeLog is displayed if a new application version is available while updating. Application file size is now correctly displayed when updating. Spelling errors. Active series now allows the user to right click and select: all, none, invert. Low battery warning when starting a new measurement sequence if the battery level is below 20%. Wizards: if multi mode is active then the start new measurement settings is skipped and if completed successfully offers to repeat the wizard. Wizards: Added a notification to remind users to put the recorder in the communication box. Log files (Application log and SNMS) have been moved to a submenu "Log Files" under View. If multi mode is active and the new measurement sequence starting time is less than 2 minutes away then the multi mode is deactivated. Import now allows multiple files to be selected. Improved check for corrupted registers.
