Summary

Support for the TIMEBROADCAST command for RDAQ loggers

When viewing an RDAQ logger that supports the TIMEBROADCAST command you will occasionally see messages in the log similar to below:

The time offset values from the logger are stored on a channel called "Time Offset (Logger Name)". This channel can be plotted on a graph to allow observation of the typical clock drift affecting a logger.

 

Ability to edit SA380-TXL config as both XML or JSON

When using the built-in web configuration tool to edit the configuration on an SA380-TXL logger there is an option to view the raw config which is presented in XML format.

Previously, the configuration presented in Centrix for SA380-TXLs was only available in JSON format, there is now an option to view it as either XML or JSON.

When viewing as XML, the configuration is compatible with the SA380-TXL WebConfig tool. Configurations can be copy and pasted from Centrix to the WebConfig tool and also from the WebConfig tool back to Centrix.

Alternatively, the configuration can still be viewed in JSON format as before:

 

 

Change to logger model information for the SA380TX

There has been a slight change to the terminology when referring to the SA380TX logger model, previously the term "Old" was used in the filter dialog to indicate a "mod state" 1 or 2 version of the SA380TX.

The new dialog lists two options to select either "mod state" 1 or 2 and "mode state" 3+ loggers. Only MS3+ loggers support the new remote configuration and firmware update features in Centrix. If you would like to find out the mode state of a unit please contact MPEC and provide the unit serial number.

 

Firmware can now be filtered by labels

The list of firmware can now be filtered by label to make it easier to narrow down specific packages.

The list of labels also indicate if they are released or non-standard.

 

Points Swing Count reports now uses assets

The "Points Swing Count" report previously used a legacy feature known as "Asset Groups" to select the assets for the report.

This has been replaced with a normal asset selector to bring it inline with other reports that use assets.

 

Bulk update units on channels

Bulk updating of units for channels was the last remaining feature from the legacy Flash player based channels page that was missing from the new page. This has now been added.

Click the "Select Multiple" button in the top right to enable selection mode.

Select one or more channels from the list or use the "Select All on Page" to select all channels currently visible on the page. Once you have completed your selection then press the "Update Units on Selected" button at the bottom right. This will open a dialog on the page.

On the dialog you can select from a list of predefined units, selecting an optional conversion if required. You can also specify custom freetext units or choose "No units" to clear any existing ones. Click the "Save" button to apply the units.

 

Unified Item Selectors

Previously, there have been multiple different item selectors with slightly different styling.
The item selectors have been unified, so they all look and behave the same.

The new style (right image) makes better use of screen space than the old one.
All item selectors now close and cancel any changes on a mouse click outside of the selector, escape key press or Cancel button click.
