|
| 1.33 |
3/27/2009 |
- Fix distance acceleration run using metric mode and 3D G summation method reports +-1 KPH in error.
- Fix crash mode displaying runs, when sensor setup has changed. Results in average G values high.
- Crash mode, display system error when maximum sensors are configured.
- Crash mode, up to 10 sensors can be turned on instead of 5.
- Fix SD card (*.VC4) files. Do not write deleted runs.
- Fix Crash mode, when memory fills up, write times slows down (i.e. time slows down on the display).
- Fix Crash mode, maximum run time set to 30 seconds.
- Fix, Hardware watchdog functional now. Also added software watchdog. Hardware watchdog time is 700msecs. Software watchdog is 2 minutes.
- Acceleration runs, speed and distance modes runs are allowed to run a little bit past, then interpolated. Post display calculations are floating point (more accurate).
- Fix Acceleration runs, speed modes would end at ¼ mile. Changed to maximum of 10000ft run.
- Crash mode, do not force G smoothing to 1, use setup smoothing.
- Crash mode, when run is canceled, close run file correctly.
- Fixed problem importing greater than 255 runs.
|
| 1.34 |
4/8/2009 |
- Fix program runs to 100ft and 300ft in acceleration mode, distance was displaying 255ft.
- Timed acceleration runs did not show end data.
|
| 1.37 |
4/30/2009 |
- Fix, default keypad zero changed from 0x9CB to 0x990. Also the factory keypad zero function made more user error tolerant.
- Fix, acceleration run, custom distance added approximately 3ft to the requested run distance.
- Fix, Watchdog time out when performing keypad zeroing.
- Fix, when flash memory is full, display run-memory-full and close run.
- Crash mode G threshold = threshold * 4.
- Crash mode, increase maximum threshold to 4G
- Crash mode, use GPS per setup
- Crash mode, use G-Summation per setup
|
| 1.38 |
5/11/2009 |
