<div>4. Condition that caused the clock to periodocally shift by one hour when a spontaneous&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; reboot occurs has been corrected.</div>
<div>5. Added support for huge trains during ITC exchange</div>
<div>6. To allow more flexible presence failure detection parameter tuning, the ranges on the&nbsp;</div>
<div><span> </span>following parameters have been increased.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span> </span>MinAxles</div>
<div><span> </span>LowSpeedThresh</div>
<div><span> </span>HighSpeedThresh</div>
<div><span> </span>PresTimeOutAboveSpeed</div>
<div><span> </span>PresenceTimeoutSeconds</div>
<div><span> </span>SecondsBetweenTrains</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>7. Default host response size allowble increased from 64 tp 1024 bytes. This may explain the&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; rare spontaneous reboot on maintenance transactions.</div>
<div>8. If the software detects a slow ITC com issue (known as "push failure"), message 91 ("Extern&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Com Warning") is logged with the additional text "ITC Com Slow (Overflow)". This is an&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; indication of a probable COM4 hardware issue.</div>
<div>9. Release package now includes the B0 SP1 changes.</div>

<div>1.&nbsp; Added support for new 2007 DST rules.</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; Corrected host sync "push back" when site prematurely enters new DST state.</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Added support for "ReferenceTimeZone" parameter (supports 2 zones west of reference zone).</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 9 May 16, 2006</div>
<div>1.&nbsp; Support for "$USEPLUSPLUSPLUS" (item 3 in Build 8 notes) causes problems</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; in the field. A revised MCM2496.INI file was sent to all build 8 sites and</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; is included here to update older files. The problem will be fixed in a</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; later build and the original MCM2496.INI will be restored.</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; Power alarms not reported in T94 report header (Trac 2)</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Code changes to address WD timeout after record complete message (Trac 6)</div>
<div>4.&nbsp; No longer possible to ZSEND (or XSEND) data files for a train that is</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; being recorded (allowing this can cause data loss). (Trac 7)</div>
<div>5.&nbsp; WDI code now uses software timestamps for tag pulse timestamps at start</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; of acquisition until hardware timer is stable. (Trac 20)</div>
<div>6.&nbsp; Fixed: sometimes, report lines were lost if "pause" option was selected</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; by user. (Trac 24)</div>
<div>7.&nbsp; Corrupted session logs now deleted by event logger at startup. (Trac 28)</div>
<div>8.&nbsp; Changes to address rare but annoying WD timeouts in event logger. (Trac 29)</div>
<div>9.&nbsp; Program crashes should now create FAULT.LOG for post-mortem debugging. (Trac 39)</div>
<div>10. WDM command added to see "low water mark" for thread watchdogs. This will be</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; used to see if any threads need longer timeout values. (Trac 41)</div>
<div>11. Slight performance improvement to code that scans host responses for trigger</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; phrases specified in ACC files. (Trac 21)</div>
<div>12. Fixed: occasional WD timeouts in report code when reporting to CPRR. (Trac 26)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 8 Feb 06, 2006)</div>
<div>1.&nbsp; Corrected error in outbound REDI code</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; This build uses a new event logger which reduces the chances of a&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; corrupted log file (session log reset) messages. The new logger is</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; compatible with files used by the previous event logging code so</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; version rollbacks can be done without loss of event data. The new</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; logger runs as its own process (process ID is 23).</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Added support for "$USEPLUSPLUSPLUS" modem directive to address rare</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; occasions where the 2496 modem fails to go onhook.</div>
<div>4.&nbsp; Additional debug code was added to capture info when occasional ITC</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; COM failures are logged (these are cases where the ITC channel fails</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; for a couple of minutes). So far, no definite cause has been</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; determined. The alarm timeout for ITC was increased from two to four</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; minutes to reduce the number of nuisance alarms. This is not a fix.</div>
<div>5.&nbsp; Fixed bug in SYS command that resulted in incorrect output if a</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; a specific PID was entered (e.g. to view only event messages for REPORT1).</div>
<div>6.&nbsp; Fixed a potential "infinite loop" bug that may be causing occasional</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; WD resets during train post-processing.</div>
<div>7.&nbsp; Fixed: Tag data from single-track sites was indicating ITC failure</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; which affects confidence logic.</div>
<div>8.&nbsp; Fixed: invalid movement and train termination status was, sometimes,</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; being sent in T94 header when train reports were delayed.</div>
<div>9.&nbsp; Fixed: watchdog was attempting "fast restarts" when a reader problem</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; was detected. Fast restarts are reserved for reporting hang-ups only.</div>
<div>10. Fixed: invalid memory access in T94 report generator was causing</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; occasional watchdog restarts if the last car in a train was untagged.</div>
<div>11. Includes support for new 56K modem card.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 7 Sep 08, 2005)</div>
<div>1.&nbsp; REDI interface code is enabled</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; Fixed: RFID tag records indicated an ITC failure when unit is configured</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; for single-track operation. This resulted in using the wrong confidence</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; level which results in more untagged cars.</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Train processing no longer deletes an existing 034 (train summary) file.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Note: FIX060.EXE is included in this package for compatibility with earlier</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; AEIPROC.BAT files (5.09B6). The AEIPROC.BAT file in this package never</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; calls this program.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 6 (July 25, 2005)</div>
<div>1.&nbsp; ITC was not locking it's communications channel. It was still working</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; but it should lock the channel to be on the safe side.</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; Added new performance counters to modem handling code. Added *NEW* MDMS</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; command. Counters are enabled if "MDMSTATS.DAT" file is present.</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Modem reset always sends ATS0=1 to modem (to ensure that auto-answer is on)</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; regardless of what's in the installed modem INI file.</div>
<div>4.&nbsp; Added new reboot modes ('R' command):</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; R FULLBOOT - full restart (OS restart - same as before)</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; R,F FASTBOOT - application restart; no OS restart (fast)</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; R,M FORCEMRS - force into MRS</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>5.&nbsp; PT command no longer allows pass-thru to channel the command is issued</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; from.</div>
<div>6.&nbsp; Changes made to code that updates the system parameter file that reduce</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; the chances that the file can be corrupted.</div>
<div>7.&nbsp; Express "supervisor" login. Entering the supervisor password at the initial</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; login will take the user directly to the supervisor mode (no need to use the</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; 'c' command).</div>
<div>8.&nbsp; Added method to recover a unit where the password is unknown.</div>
<div>9.&nbsp; File writes are no longer cached by the operating system; file writes occur</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; immediately. (Previously, the OS cached writes for performance reasons. This</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; provided a small window of time in which data could be lost in the event of a</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; restart. It was determined that it was safer to update the files on disk; the</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; performance penalty is negligible in this application).</div>
<div>10. SHS command: internal testing found that when WDA/B counts differ, output of SHS</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; command was backwards (would say WDA is low when WDB is low and vice-versa).</div>
<div>11. Internal testing revealed a potential "divide by zero" error; this was corrected.</div>
<div>12. Added *NEW* BP command that allows the user to create a backup copy of the</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; system parameter files.</div>
<div>13. Additional validation checks have been added to code that loads the parameter</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; files. If the files are corrupted, the backup files (created with the BP command)</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; are used, if available.</div>
<div>14. This distribution contains a non-standard DT336.INI file. This file contains</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; the modem strings that set 2400 baud line speed.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 5 (March 03, 2005)</div>
<div>1. Added debouncing of modem carrier signal (Issue 37).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 4 (February 28, 2005)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Changes since 5.09B3</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. Fixed: occasional watchdog timeouts during T94 report generation</div>
<div>2. Fixed: modem power down now working</div>
<div>3. Fixed: application was occasionally generating numerous bogus .LOG</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; files during shutdown</div>
<div>4. The extra space at the end of an AMH record has been removed</div>
<div>5. A corrupted session log file (FFFFFFFx.LOG) would prevent transmission</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; of maintenance reports. The application now deletes corrupted logs and</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; logs an event message to indicate this occurrence.</div>
<div>6. Event log message generated if wheel event file can't be created.</div>
<div>7. Additional logic added to reduce chances of tag pair being reported on</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; two trains when ITC presence wire is disconnected.</div>
<div>8. APUEQUIP properly identifies later versions of startup ROM.</div>
<div>Version: 5.09 Build 3 (February 07, 2005)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Changes since Version 5.08</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1.&nbsp; Scales that send A and B weights now supported</div>
<div>2.&nbsp; Extraneous space after version string was removed (appeared in T94</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; maintenance report header which caused processing errors at certain hosts)</div>
<div>3.&nbsp; Additional debug code was added to capture data in the event of an "Issue 9:</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; occasional watchdog restart during T94 report generation" event</div>
<div>4.&nbsp; All transmitted reports (consist and maintenance) are limited to 64K bytes</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; regardless of transmission format</div>
<div>5.&nbsp; Event logger is now disabled during shutdown to prevent occasional generation</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; of numerous bogus log files</div>
<div>6.&nbsp; Sites equipped with LVD should no longer see a spurious, one-axle train at</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; startup that was created when the LVD applied power to the wheel detector</div>
<div>7.&nbsp; Corrected bugs in internal file tracking code that was causing spurious "file</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; closed by another thread" messages in the event log and was causing closed</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; files to be displayed in the open file list (these issues affect internal</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; debug functions; no effect on customer functions)</div>
<div>8.&nbsp; Error #146 is now assigned as "log full". This message is issued after a</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; maintenance log gets deleted because it's too large to transmit in a report</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; less than 64K is size (see #4)</div>
<div>9.&nbsp; Process names for SCALE and WDOG corrected; Errors #138 and #139 changed</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; from "Extern Alarm" to "DC Power"</div>
<div>10. Maintenance reports no longer delayed after a watchdog restart</div>
<div>11. Find reader code (IR command) now defaults to 4800 baud rate only if port file</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; baud rate isn't supported by the reader</div>
<div>12. Disk manager no longer deletes three most recent trains (it was improperly</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; deleting these trains if there were three or fewer trains stored)</div>
<div>13. Watchdog can now call external batch file when an Issue 9 restart occurs (see #3).</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; REPCRASH.BAT file shipped with this build is called to copy train and debug files</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; to C:\AEI\REPORT for later analysis.</div>
<div>14. Pending reader commands are terminated before flushing tags; tag flushing should</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; be faster.</div>
