EzConfig II Release Notes

Version 3.0 Build 2614 Bug Fixes

- Fix fuel table sensor readings for EDM version 1.07.853 and above. Beginning in 3.0.2614, EzConfig makes multiple readings to ensure proper fuel level values are recorded in the fuel table.

Version 3.0 Build 2561 Bug Fixes

- Fix Fuel Pressure configuration for FP3, FP4 and FP5 transducers.
- Display EDM display controller firmware version on "Calibration" page.

Version 3.0 Build 2511 Bug Fixes

- Fix unhandled exceptions when tank size values exceeded.
- Improve error instructions when EDM reading or writing fails.
- Fix display of software revision strings on "Calibration" page.

.

Version 3.0 Build 2460 Enhancements

- Remove unused fuel table information for EDM-950 configurations.
- Add optional preference to automatically read the EDM configuration at program startup if the EDM is already connected.
- Add ability to calibrate OAT readings for EDM-950.

Version 3.0 Build 2392 Enhancements & Bug Fixes

- Force tachometer scale to appear linear. Previous versions would output a non-linear scale, with 0 - 1500 RPM occupying less space on the scale than the rest of the RPM range.
- Correct error in tachometer scale selection that prevented starting the scale at zero RPM. Previous programs could not select some combinations of scale start and end points starting at zero. The program will now adjust the end point higher if necessary to allow scales to start at zero.
- Do not display the __ FUEL QTY __ banner above fuel level gauge positions if no valid fuel level inputs exist.

Version 3.0 Build 2362 Enhancements & Bug Fixes

- Fix bug in fuel units value conversion. Previous programs would not correctly convert from liters, pounds or kilograms to liters, pounds or kilograms (programs would correctly convert back to gallons, however).
- Only allow decimal values when entering fuel values in gallons. Previous programs would allow decimal values for liters, pounds and kilograms, and then truncate the value when storing to the EDM.
- Improve user feedback during pressure calibration. Previous programs would allow the user to attempt a second calibration before the first was complete.

Version 3.0 Build 2319 Enhancements & Bug Fixes

- Remove AMPS calibration controls as they are no longer necessary for EDM calibration.

Version 3.0 Build 2305 Enhancements & Bug Fixes

- Fix error that caused alarm levels modified on the Gauge Detail page to not be saved to the EDM if the user clicked the Finish button from the Gauge Detail page.
- Added support for 7, 8, & 9 cylinder configurations.

Version 3.0 Build 2271 Enhancements & Bug Fixes

Previous changes

- Support for Primary Instrument installations.
- EzUpdate utility to allow users to easily update software from the Internet. Users can now select the "Check for Online Updates" command on the "Help" menu to run a utility that will install available updates to EzConfig II.
- Improved Fuel Level Calibration page.
- Improved online Help.
- Move AMPS Shunt setting to Calibration page for EDM950 support.
- Add Low Fuel Level Alarm setting.
- Add support for selection of 1 of 5 differnent fuel pressure sensors.
- Add code to prevent running more than one copy of EzConfig at a time, which could result in communications errors.
- Enhance engine temperature conversion code to select multiples of 5 or 10 for engine temperatures scales and alarm limits, regardless of C or F scale selection.
- Added control to select number of entries in fuel configuration table.
- Improved support for JPI manufacturing processes.
- Do not show primary gauges that are not enabled.
- Coordinate low tank level alarms and fuel level gauges
- Automatically adjust Fuel Pressure alarm limit and gauge markings when switching between high and low pressure transducers. This reduces the number of other user changes necessary when switching Fuel Pressure transducer types.
- Change Left and Right fuel tank level defaults to include a red, low tank level warning band from 0 to 5 gallons.
- Improved serial communications.
- Allow MAP maximums up to 99.9 In HG. for high performance engine applications.

- Fix error that occurred when modifying EDM configurations offline. Previous programs would output a message box stating "Changes have not been saved to EDM. Discard changes?" even though the user is working offline. This message will no longer appear when working offline.
- Fix error in Offline operations. Previous programs would close EzConfig II the first time the user attempted to modify a configuration offline. Subsequent attempts would work as expected, proceeding to the Aircraft Information page after opening a saved configuration file. EzConfig II will no longer close on the initial attempt to work offline.
- Fix error in EDM com port detection feature that would occasionally cause "Framing Error" messages to be displayed on systems using more than one serial device.
- Fix error in gauge display when attempting to set AMPS gauge to Charge/Discharge mode. Previous programs would not properly display the gauge when attempting to save the Gauge Detail changes. The changes would only take effect after a second effort to change the AMPS gauge to Charge/Discharge mode.
- Fix error in Aux Tank size specification. Previous programs would multiply the Aux Tank size by 5 on input, causing the value to grow each time the information is read from the EDM and later saved.
- Fix error that caused Arithmetic Overflow errors on some gauge option specifications.
- Ensure that the Finish button saves changes to the current page.
- Fix error in communications while setting Hobbs values that resulted in incorrect Hobbs values loaded into EDM at factory.
- Fix error in communications while setting serial number of EDM at factory.
