Software upgrade requests

• Main menu output content changed. '- PLAYBACK mode.' now says '- Playback Menu mode' and the Data transfer and 'On' button aware text now appears on a separate line.
• User can now enter date as 'dd-mmm-yy' as well as 'dd-mmm-yyyy'
• Able to connect to an individual unit's menu in a multiple unit configuration with the new #CON command.
• New '<P> Export current options for this unit' menu item in the AntiLogPro 'User Option Storage and Transfer' menu.
• '<U> Shut down' item on the main menu now says '<U> Shut down (Restart)' for units fitted with the Forced Power 'P' option. The menu item changes to '<X> Exit Multi-unit menu connection' when connected to the menu system in the multiple unit menu mode.
• First character of security password can no longer be '#'.
• Unit ID name can no longer contain any '#' characters.
• Multiple unit operation is automatically disabled if the SECURITY option (Option 'S') menu password is active.
• If ICDGPS15x was configured for operation on the second channel, the 'CONNECT' request for that channel would always be sent to the channel 1 serial port by mistake.

• Real time playback operation improved. NMEA GNS sentence now included in the list of NMEA sentences that can have date and time interpreted for real time playback and live date and time substitution.
• Maximum delay before playback will resume anyway in real time playback mode is now specified in the range 100ms to 10 hours. The default is still 10 seconds.
• NMEA sentence filtering during record now includes ability to select the satellite constellation source (e.g. GPS, GLONASS, etc.) by filtering on NMEA sentence 'talker ID'.
• Option 'G' (GNSS Receiver Simulated Output) can now simulate different navigation satellite constellation sources. Users can now select from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and an Integrated solution. New option to send 'Simulated' quality indication if required in GGA and GNS NMEA sentences.
• Driving 'EventIn' high to force playback mode with the 'P' option installed is now available for the AntiLogPro boxed version as well as the OEM version via the main DB-9 connector, pin 9.
• Fixed polarity of the 'EventIn' line for AntiLogPro hardware when it is asserted to force playback mode at startup.
• Fixed incorrect 'Media FULL' LED flash sequence which was triggered sometimes at start up especially if for example the forced playback mode was enabled and a short 'On' button press was used.
• Proprietary NMEA sentences for legacy Jupiter Navman and QinetiQ HSGPS receiver output are no longer supported.

• Due to many recent reports of media cards being corrupted when they are inserted into a PC card reader (especially under Microsoft Windows 10), we are now recommending that you set the physical LOCK switch on ALL SD/SDHC/SDXC media cards permanently when using them for AntiLog applications. V6 will now no longer report that the media is write protected and will instead continue to work as normal. However, a PC will now no longer be able to write hidden files to the media without warning when a card is inserted into a card reader and hence corrupt important AntiLog recorded data. The AntiLog main menu and 'About' menu now warn if the LOCK switch is NOT activated on SD type media.
• To reduce the chances of data corruption if the media LOCK switch is not set on SD cards (or for those who are still using MMC media which has no LOCK switch), the area on the media where AntiLog records data has been moved to try and avoid Windows system file writes. This means that previous AntiLog revisions will not see data written by V6.0 if media cards are removed and placed in earlier versions of AntiLog.
• Now shows when cards are inserted that are READONLY (hardware fault caused by too many media NAND memory read/write cycles).
• Default record baud rate is now 115200, not 4800 baud.
• Expanded date and time for session headers and expanded time stamps now do not have a comma between the date and the time as this was inconsistent with the ISO8601 time format which doesn't have a comma between the date and time fields (it has a 'T' instead).
• ASLCMD command input now ignored at main menu if the menu does not support ASLCMD so #VER command for example won't start changing menu settings.
• New "#ERA,bus,ERASE" command to erase media (AntiLogPro only).
• Session header now embeds product ID information.
• <I> option in general menu changed to:- <I> Multi-unit configuration and identity and now shows a '*' if multiple unit is active.
• As the media size can now be very large, the "About" menu output now shows the media detected capacity as a number with commas in every thousands positions to make the large numbers easy to interpret. E.g. 1TB = "1099511627776" would now be displayed as "1,099,511,627,776"
• "Unit Identification Options" menu title changed to "Multi-unit Identification Options".
• Selecting "Shut down" from the main menu asks for confirmation as before but for the hardware 'P' variants, it now prompts "Restart Unit..." instead as it is not actually possible to shut down a Forced Power unit, it stays on all the time power is applied.
• Valid range for NBYTE time stamping is now 1 to 65500.
• Transfer settings will now work from the menu system when multiple unit is enabled (output was sent to the wrong serial port).

• Polling for connected units has been changed to fully automate the process including automatically switching between menu and ASLCMD commands to discover if a unit is present. This means AntiTermPro can now automatically detect and interact with units that are running in the bootloader mode, even in a multiple unit system.
• Support for the new BL6 bootloader which currently allows connected units to be upgraded four times faster than the current bootloader version.
• More intelligent use of the old style desktop PC serial ports that only allow operation up to 115200 baud. The GUI adapts to any speed restrictions seen in the serial port driver so some MAXRATE type options will not be presented for use.
• New displays appear if the unit is being used in Record mode or if it is running the bootloader when the 'Upload' display is activated. The title banner colour now changes to a tan colour if the connected unit is running in the bootloader mode.
• 'About' display now shows the address of the upgrade server URL it uses for an upgrade or upgrade check.
• The 'Clear' button on the terminal panel now also clears the product detection as well as the display and line history buffer.
• ADC voltage readings in the multiple unit display are now presented in volts, not millivolts.
• AntiTermPro is now compatible with new product developments and has extended multiple unit production control capabilities.

• Fixed an issue where extracting data recorded on an AntiLogPro unit which used the Ring Buffer storage method could result in 'bad sequence number' error messages.
• The number of sessions displayed for a log file was wrongly being shown as one even if the session count really was zero for wrapped data stored in an AntiLogPro Ring Buffer.

• Now compatible with new file system improvements introduced in the AntiLog V8.0 software release.
• When extracting channel data from log files, the RAW timestamp expansion option was incorrectly adding a comma character after the six byte RAW timestamp in the output file.
• The data extraction window now re-reads the media image source when the window is activated again after focus has been moved away in support of other user activities.
• Program now detects and displays buffer overrun conditions flagged in a log file.

• When a connected unit is checked for a product upgrade, the 'Open User Guide' prompt has been changed to 'Open User Guide(s)' which can now open an internet web page containing not only the related product user guide but a link to all the user guides for any options installed in the product.
• Messages to the user during product upgrades have been improved.
• Corrected an issue where connected AntiLog OEM products that were not fitted with any options were not being recognised as OEM units.
• File requesters now show file history and filter drop down options.

• Data Extract side menu now offers an option to split session data into separate files per channel during the data extraction process.
• Firmware upgrades via the internet for all units in a multiple unit configuration is now possible.
• About display now has a link to gain online access to the AntiTermPro user guide for the current running version.
• Media card extract GUI window title updated to say 'MMC/SD/SDHC/SDXC'.
• Ability to disable 'Automatic Connection' removed from Uploads display as this feature is now redundant. Connections are now always automatic.
• Main tab in the visualise display now called 'Visualise GNSS' not 'Visualise GPS'.
• No error message was being displayed if an upgrade file for a given unit serial number could not be found.
• X-Modem 'Request a menu system unlock' button was not working.
• Default product icon now says 'AntiTermPro' not 'AntiTerm'.

• Added a new 'Multiple Unit' button to the side menu which opens an adaptive display allowing control over multiple AntiLogPro series units.
• Improved compatibility with legacy units. Now supports all AntiLog software releases back to V2.0. Upgrades from V2.0 to the latest release now possible using the Upgrades side menu.

• Added a new 'Upgrades' button to the side menu which opens a display allowing you to check for and upgrade a connected unit to the very latest software release. Downloading and checking for the latest release requires a valid internet connection.
• A 'Tab' character can now be inserted into Macro definitions. (It could before by hand but now the GUI lets you insert one from a pull down list).

• Added support for GLONASS, Beidou and integrated GNSS visualisation as well as the existing GPS support.
• Now decodes $GNGNS messages.

• Updated product images on the main screen.

• Improved layout on Microsoft Windows systems that are set to 125% screen scaling.

• More Date and Time output formats now available for data extraction including an optional comma separator between date and time fields. Selected Date and Time format also now applies to session header date and time expansion.
• More efficient use of PC multitasking resources.

• First release.
