------------------------------------------------------------ -- Copyright Active Research Limited 2008-10 -- -- -- -- Release notes for the -- -- NGT-1/NGW-1 firmware -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Changes from v2.173 to v2.174 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ * NGT-1: Added new "Rx All" operating mode: allows all valid NMEA 2000 messages to be transfered after a "Change Operating Mode" command is received requesting the "Rx All" mode. Must be used with new version of NMEA Reader (v1.2.0.0) to benefit from this new 'Operating Mode'. * NGW-1 & NGT-1: - Improved operation of several commands: 'Get Operating Mode', 'Enable Rx & Tx PGN', 'ActivatePGNLists' and the 'Delete Rx PGN List' command. Refer to SDK User Manual. - Fixed 'EEPROM Commit' command not saving all changes. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Changes from v2.172 to v2.173 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ * NGW-1: - Added NMEA 0183 Set & Drift (VDR) translation - Added NMEA 0183 Revolutions (RPM) translation (in part). Full translation will be possible once the 'instance' setting is selectable via the Config Tool. - Fixed encoding of NULL "signed fields" in NMEA 2000 - Multiple instances of the same PGN can now be generated (e.g. 'Water temp' and 'Outside temp' through 130311). * NGW-1 & NGT-1: Added compatibility with the future Config Tool (available in Q1 2010). Future Config Tool software will require units to have this firmware version (or newer). ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Changes from v2.170 to v2.172 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ * NGW-1 & NGT-1: Added and modified some ActisenseComms dll commands. * NGW-1: - Fixed Lat/Long NMEA 0183 E/W, N/S issue - Improvement to translation process to allow messages to be better converted. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Changes from v2.150 to v2.170 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ * NGW-1: Various bug fixes (regarding data timeouts) and removed the blank 'debug' output of NMEA 2000 messages even when no corresponding NMEA 0183 data available for translation. * NGW-1 & NGT-1: Updated NMEA 2000 library to new v1.210 release. * NGW-1 & NGT-1: Updated 'NMEA 2000 Product Information' values to correctly match new values required by sepcification. * NGW-1: Greatly improved flexibility of NMEA data storage, that will allow more configuration options once the Config Tool is released.
