SEASOFT VERSION 4.035
10 Dec 1993
- 1. BUG FIXES:
- ASCIIIN:
- - It blows up occasionally especially after selecting several different
files.
- ROSSUM:
- - It sometimes gets out-of-memory error.
-
- 2. MODIFICATIONS:
- ASCIIIN, ASCIIOUT, FILTER, SEAPLOT, STRIP, WFILTER, WILDEDIT:
- - Modify them so when the input-path changes the input-variable subform
will update accordingly.
-
- 3. NEW FEATURES:
- DATCNV, DERIVE, ROSSUM:
- - Add command line option -s to indicate use same file names for both
input data files and .con files in batch mode.
- SEASAVE:
- - Add command line option -b<markLineType><markLineColor> for
bottle firing mark line's type and color. The mark line's type can be 0 for connected line
and 1 for dotted line; the mark line' color mapping is as follows:
- 0: Blue; 1: Brown; 2: Cyan; 3: Dark-Gray; 4: Green; 5: Intense_White; 6: Light_Blue; 7: Light_Cyan; 8: Light_Green; 9: Light_Magenta; 10: Light_Red; 11: Magenta; 12: Red; 13: White; 14: Yellow.
- For example -b17 means the mark line is dotted line and its color is
light cyan.
- SEASAVE (realtime):
- - Mix the automatic and manual firing modes, i.e., the user can press
<Ctrl_F3> or press <Fire> button on the deck unit to fire bottles during automatic
firing.
- - Designate hot key <Shift_F3> to enable automatic firing's upcast.
- - Set data bits for firing bottles when the <Fire> button is
pressed, so pressing <Ctrl_F3> and pressing <Fire> button on the deck unit to fire bottles will
function the same.
SEASOFT VERSION 4.034
22 Nov 1993

type is STRAIN GAUGE and instrument type is other than SBE19 Profiler.
- DATCNV:
- - It cannot convert SBE19 Profiler's .HEX data files which contain only
one set of reference scans with only one data scan before the reference scans.
- - It cannot run with -a or -ax option when output .ROS files.
- SEAPLOT:
- - After screen dump the bottom line disappears.
- SEASAVE (realtime):
- - For SBE11plus with RS232 connection, sometimes the Go-Log command is
not executed, causing the deck unit's buffer overflow (this only occurs in V4.033)
- - When change instrument type from non-sbe911 types to sbe911 types
(SBE911, SBE911e and SBE911plus) by selecting different .CON files, the number-of-scans-averaged
field in Misc-Run-Parameters subform doesn't appear.
