Summary


Logger Grid Enhancements

The loggers page has received enhancements related to the new firmware update functionality that was recently added in a previous Centrix release.

Going forward, MPEC will uploaded new firmware releases to Centrix to allow the remote firmware update mechanism to be used on supported loggers. This also has the added benefit of allowing Centrix to link specific firmware versions to loggers and provide useful feedback about the current state.

Firmware Up-to-Date

Firmware Update Available

Non Standard Firmware

Unknown (Centrix does not have any information about this firmware version)

Additional filters have been added to the logger page to allow filtering by firmware state. You can still use the freetext input to search by version number as before but an additional "filter" button has been added (funnel icon) which allows you to select from predefined options:

ColumnSearch Dialog

The "Device Type" column has been replaced with a new "Model" column which provides a consistent representation of the hardware device. Prior to this addition certain device such as the SA380-TX could have been listed as "SA380TX" or "SA380-TX" depending on the communication protocol used.

SSI Datalink Health Report

The SSI Datalink Health Report shows datalink health percentages for multiple SSI assets, on different sites, over a 24 hour period.

To create this report, select SSI assets and a the date. The report will use 24 hours of data starting from the selected date.
As assets can be selected from different sites, and the sites may be in different timezones, a time zone must be selected so that the data for the report is synchronised.

The report displays a heatmap for link A and link B of each SSI asset.

 


Logger Firmware Download Page

Mpec logger firmware is now available to download from Centrix, at centrix.org/downloads.
The list of firmware includes current released firmware for any logger model.


New layout for Sites page

The "sites" page has been moved to a new layout similar to the one used for the new "channels" page. The functionality remains the same.

Improved Logger list on Sites page

Previously only the logger name and type information was displayed in the list of loggers when viewing a site. This made it difficult to locate the correct logger in some cases.

The improved list now shows the same information as the main loggers page including status information to allow you to see the current status of loggers.


RDAQ Logger Channel "In Last Config"

The channels grid on RDAQ loggers now shows if the channel was "In Last Config".
This will be true, and show a tick, if the channel was present in the most recent hardware config received from the logger.
