============================================== Release Notes for Kvaser Memorator Setup Tools ============================================== Device Support Table ============================================================================= o Kvaser Memorator We recommend that you use driver (CANLIB) version 3.9 or later. You MUST use firmware 2.5 (or later), however, we strongly recommend firmware 3.3 (or later.) o Kvaser Memorator Professional We recommend driver version 4.0 and firmware 1.6.250, or any later versions. You MUST use driver version 3.9 and firmware 1.2.635 or later. Drivers and firmware are available on our web site. List of known restrictions in this release of Kvaser Memorator Setup Tools ============================================================================= * You need to reinitialize the SD cards when you have upgraded to the new firmware version for Memorator Professional. * The "Clear Disk" button in the "Disk management" window does not work propely unless you have driver 3.9 or later. * The OLE automation interface does not yet work in Windows Vista. * For Kvaser Memorator Professional, an old configuration with the settings "Log everything" and "Pulse external out when disk is full" will not be compatible with the newest version of this software. There are now a new feature where you should add a trigger for this purpose (flash disk full). This means that a small correction has to be made to an old configuration to make it work as it did before. * Kvaser Dispatcher does not currently work with the new firmware in Kvaser Memorator Professional. We expect to correct this problem in the netx release. * Initializing and/or formatting the flash disk in an external card reader is not supported in this release. You must insert the disk in a Memorator and format it there. We expect to support this feature again in the next release. (It was removed because the old code didn't use raw disk I/O and so could not control the position of the files.) New features and fixed problems in version 2.4.305 (Released 27-MAY-2008) ============================================================================== * Improved search functionality in the XCP configuration dialog (note: CCP/XCP support is not yet released for general use; please contact us if you want more information) * Fixed problem where a port trigger time on an expression wasn't updated if the corresponding action was modified. New features and fixed problems in version 2.4.300 (Released 21-MAY-2008) ============================================================================== * Support for Kvaser Memorator Professional HS/LS * Support for new Kvaser Memorator Professional firmware 1.7 (or later) with true FIFO logging, 16GB disks and one-shot logging. * Memorator Professional: Support for saving configurations and databases to SD cards. * Support for extracting data to FAMOS format. New features and fixed problems in version 2.3.213 (Released 26-JUL-2007) ============================================================================== * The file converter (cc.exe) was linked with an outdated dll. This has been fixed. Apart from that there are no new features or bug fixes in this release. New features and fixed problems in version 2.3.194 (Released 18-APR-2007) ============================================================================== * Fixed crash in the database editor that happened when loading certain dbc files. * Bug fix when saving the pretrigger value to the configuration file (the .kmc file). The correct value was not saved in some cases. * Added j1939 support to matlab file extractor. * Fixed bug that happened when the names of the extracted files were constructed with anything else than a number (e.g. date and time), and file conversion was started. * File extraction - the start of measurement time is now equal to the device power-on time. "Start of logging" is the time of the first extracted file. This prevent time jumps when concatenating several files into one. New features and fixed problems in version 2.3.188 (Released 22-MAR-2007) ============================================================================== * Major new features for Kvaser Memorator Professional: o Support for advanced triggers and automatic transmit lists o Support for Kvaser Linx J1587 * (Kvaser Memorator Professional) You can now choose not to check the DLC at run time in both triggers and filters. * (Kvaser Memorator Professional) Fixed bug in a check of external triggers in stop expression. Before it only checked the first external trigger in list, so if having one in start expr and one in stop expr, we could miss an error. * (Kvaser Memorator Professional) Fixed bug in trigger handling where signed signals in Motorola byte order weren't handled properly. * (Kvaser Memorator Professional) Compared to the previous version, there's an incompability when using "log all" + "pulse when disk full". Please see the note earlier in this document. * Fixed bug when converting to Matlab files. A random exception could cause the resulting files to be corrupt. * Made it possible to convert multiple KME files from the tools menu. * Fixed small bug where the list of bit rates wasn't properly updated when the edit box changed. * In the local database, you can no longer add messages or signals whose names start with a digit. * File conversion can now handle large output files (> 4GB) for formats that support it. Note that NTFS is a requirement for creating such large files. * Many small fixes in the GUI. * Added possibility to select more than one message in the tree view when creating filters. It was possible in the list view but not in the tree view. * Made it possible to select channels when extracting to Matlab format. * The generated MDF files are now written in format 3.00, to allow for compability with both old and new tools. The differences compared with the earlier format 2.x are small. * Fixed J1939 mode bug when log files were extracted Vector ASCII - SA, DA, PRI and DP are now written correctly. * We now write the engineering units of the signals to the Matlab file. * Fixed bug where overruns were not reported to the user (only inside the files) if more than one file was extracted. * Changed number of timestamp decimals that are printed in Vector ASCII format from 4 to 9. New features and fixed problems in version 2.2.162 (Released 5-NOV-2006) ============================================================================== * Support for the new product Kvaser Memorator Professional. * Kvaser Memorator Dispatcher is included within this release. It is an efficient system to distribute Kvaser Memorator configuration files and to collect the log files from the test site. * When creating a CSV file, 0.99995 is rounded to 1.0000 instead of 0.9999. Fixed a awkward bug that made the minus sign disappear in CSV Signals, and another one that could make the number after 0.9999 be 0.10000 * Added new button in the file extraction wizard to popup a "add new database" window. * Fixed user defined btr0/1 - every keyboard move resulted in a new added bitrate in the bitrate combobox. * Bug fix: The "Add all signals" button in the file extraction wizard did not always work as intended. * Support for OLE Automation. It's still experimental but it might be useful for those who often carry out the same operations in the program, e.g. file extraction. Please contact us for more information. There's a sample in samples/auto. * A leap-year bug in the routine that converted the time stamps from the real-time clock on the Memorator has been corrected. * It is now possible to select which Memorator to configure, if you have more than one connected at the same time. Requires a driver update. * Several small bugs and cosmetic issues have been fixed. * It is now possible to open a write-protected KMF file. * File extraction wizard: Fixed bug where the 'display id as hex' and 'display data as hex' options weren't saved in the registry. * The file extraction wizard can now be invoked directly from the Tools menu to convert a KME file. * Trigger handling: Physical value, Offset and Factor can now be real numbers; Physical value cannot be outside its limits (defined by length,offset and factor); The memorator can now trig on negative values with length < 32; The OK button in CalcRawFromPhys is disabled when the physical value is invalid; Fixed a bug regarding Int/Uint in the local database; Raw values cannot be negative. * Filter handling: Raw values do not wrap when entered, instead a warning is displayed * A command line kme converter, kvaKmeConv.exe, has been added. It converts KME files to any format supported by the setup tool. * CSV Frame-format does not print data beyond DLC any more. * Added ability to convert to MDF format used by e.g. Vector CANalyzer. * File extraction wizard: fixed bug where writing sometimes would fail when concatenating files. * File extraction wizard: disable the channel selection boxed for binary formats - only CSV and text can be used when selecting channels * "Check configuration" said it were too many filters on channel (n-1) when in meant channel n. * Start menu: Added information html page for additional utility programs * Added full-text search to help files. * kvaKmeConv.exe: Added ability to set separator by command line. * Solved bug where Open and Save dialogs could have multiple instances opened by pressing for example Open serveral times. * "Check configuration" said it were too many filters on channel (n- 1) when in meant channel n. * Memorator Professional can now use up to 64 filters per channel. Earlier betas had the limit set to 32 filters per channel. * Filter definition window: Added check for undefined checkboxes for SA and DA (J1939 mode). Fixed bug where the stop filter radiobutton was not disabled as it should. New features and fixed problems in version 2.01.054 (Released 11-MAY-2006) ============================================================================== * Fixed two problems regarding negative numbers when extracting a logfile. New features and fixed problems in version 2.01.050 (Released 13-MAR-2006) ============================================================================== * Fixed spontanous disconnect (message "... connection is lost. The setup tool will now disconnect.") that could happen after a random time when extracting large data files from a KMF file on the hard disk. * Repaired several broken links in the help file. * Fixed configuration file version mismatch that caused the logging to fail with a newly written configuration - the PWR and ERR lamps would flash. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.040 (Released 2-MAR-2006) ============================================================================== * The .kme24 file extension used for the old type of KME files (that CANalyzer understands) is now changed back to .kme again. * Fixed bug in the Select CAN Bitrate dialog that caused sone bit rates to be omitted from the list. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.032 (BETA Released 2006-02-13) ============================================================================== * Support for "counting pass filters" if you have (the not yet released) firmware 3.0. This feature is _not_ implemented in the 2.9 firmware. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.031 (BETA Released 2005-12-29) ============================================================================== * A warning message is now displayed if overruns are detected during log file conversion. * Really fixed progress bars when extracting files. * A confirmation dialog is now displayed if the program detects that a time-consuming operation needs to be performed on the disk data. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.030 (BETA Released 2005-12-14) ============================================================================== * More documentation is included. * Fixed bug where the definition of an unsigned signal would make it signed and vice versa. * Added warning dialog that displays if firmware or driver is too old. * Application can now be minimized to system tray when extracting files. * Fixed progress bars when extracting files. * Hex mode is no longer the default setting. * Fixed bug where the raw value couldn't be calculated from the physical value when defining a signal trigger where the signal length was 32 bits. * Trigger list - the physical (scaled) value is now properly displayed * Fixed problem with UEF files where a large comment would cause a program crash. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.029 (BETA Released 2005-11-28) ============================================================================== * We now validate the disk after connecting to the device. This prevents error messages when connecting to a device where the power was suddenly removed. * Merging logfiles when extracting them should now work. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.028 (BETA Released 2005-11-24) ============================================================================== * Repackaged installer to include new versions of certail DLLs. This should give better error messages when e.g. disk formatting fails. * Uninstall now also removes the start menu group and install directory * Setting "time offset" when extracting files now works properly. * Matlab converter now uses temporary files to have mercy on the RAM. * Fixed an assortment of spelling errors and other cosmetic issues in the online help. New features and fixed problems in version 2.00.027 (BETA released 2005-11-23) ============================================================================== This is a brand new version which replaces the old Kvaser Configurator. Compared to the old software, this version is much faster, smaller, and generally better; it has a much improved and more intuitive user interface; and many bugs are corrected.
