Version 2.0
08 September 2011
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Plot Data -- Fixed bug related to daylight
savings time transition, for SBE 26, 26plus, and 53.
b. Create Reports -- Fixed bug related to daylight savings time transition for
SBE 26plus; time was off by 1 hour.
c. Create Reports -- Fixed bug related to daylight savings time transition for
SBE 26; time was off by 1 hour, 24 hours, or 25 hours.
d. Convert Hex -- Modified dialog box to allow user adjustment of 'start time'
of first tide measurement in input data file for SBE 26. Because of a leap year
firmware bug in SBE 26, you may need to adjust 'start time' if either of
following is true: SBE 26 was deployed on February 29, or date and time were set
before February 29 and SBE 26 was deployed after February 29.
Version 1.18b
14 December
2009
1. ADDITIONS:
a. Convert Hex -- Added -t command line option to output additional diagnostic information in .tid file for SBE 53.
Version 1.18a
12 June
2009
1. MODIFICATIONS:
a. Convert Hex -- Changed Convert Hex dialog boxes for SBE 26plus and 53 to make them more user-friendly.
Version 1.18
13
May 2009
1. MODIFICATIONS:
a. General -- Changed location of SeasoftWaves.ini, to
provide better compatibility with computers running Vista. SeasoftWaves.ini
contains location and file name of last saved program setup (.psa) file and
option settings for each module.
b. Convert Hex -- Changed file for storing calibration coefficients from an
.ini file to a .psa file for consistency with other software modules.
Version 1.17
14
October 2008
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Create Reports --
- A bug caused Create Reports to crash
when processing a large file.
- If depth was selected as an output variable,
the column header in the output file said pressure instead of depth.
Version 1.16
24 September 2008
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Convert Hex -- A bug when converting a file for a 26plus with strain gauge pressure sensor caused incorrect pressure values. This bug only occurred in Version 1.15.
Version 1.15
10
July 2008
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Convert Hex -- A bug in decoding the firmware version for data from an SBE 26 (not plus) with firmware version 2.0 caused incorrect pressure values in the .wb wave burst file.
Version 1.14
22 January 2007
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Create Reports -- Occasionally crashed when processing
large wave burst files.
b. Create Reports and Plot Data -- Incorrectly reported zeroes for the wave auto
spectrum for some files.
Version 1.13
23 February 2006
1. ADDITIONS:
a. SeatermW -- Updated to add DateTime menu, allowing you to set the date and time in the SBE 26plus or 53 to an accuracy of ±25 msec of the time provided by timekeeping software on your computer. This capability is compatible with SBE 26plus firmware version 6.1a or later, and SBE 53 firmware version 1.13 and later.
Version 1.12c
16 December 2005
1. ENHANCEMENTS:
a. Convert Hex -- Updated to provide a way to reprocess data obtained with SBE 26plus firmware version 5.2, 6.0, or 6.0a, if you had programmed the 26plus to use a wave sample duration other than 0.25 seconds. See Field Service Bulletin No. 8 for details.
2. BUG FIXES:
a. SeatermW -- If uploading data from an SBE 26plus, not in binary, SeatermW erroneously reported upload errors when in fact there were none.
Version 1.12b
06 December 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. SeatermW -- For SBE 53, SeatermW would not upload data if the following
line appeared in the status:
"*warning -> not enough time to measure
reference frequency".
Version 1.12a
16 November 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Battery and Memory Endurance -- For SBE 26 tab, there was some extra text visible above Tide measurement interval. Note that the calculations were unaffected by the bug.
Version 1.12
27
July 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Convert Hex -- For SBE 26plus with strain gauge pressure sensor, program was not reading the conductivity coefficients from the header in the .hex file.
Version 1.11a
25
July 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Battery and Memory Endurance -- For SBE 26 (not plus), removed Wave statistics duration, because real-time wave statistics are not available in the SBE 26.
Version 1.11
15
July 2005
1. ADDITIONS:
a. Battery and Memory Endurance -- Added compatibility with SBE 53 BPR Bottom Pressure Recorder, and added lithium battery endurance output for SBE 26plus.
Version 1.10
22 June 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Convert Hex -- Buffer overrun occurred when processing a file uploaded from an SBE 26plus.
Version 1.09
28 April 2005
1. ADDITIONS:
a. Added compatibility with SBE 53 BPR Bottom Pressure Recorder.
2. BUG FIXES:
a. Sometimes did not upload properly or stopped in middle of an upload.
Version 1.08
09
February 2005
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Versions 1.07 and 1.07a ONLY -- Did not process data correctly for an SBE 26 (not 26plus).
Version 1.07a
03
December 2004
1. ADDITIONS:
a. Compatibility with SBE 26plus
firmware version 6.0 and later -- 26plus firmware version 6.0 and later
included the following changes which impacted the software:
- Date and time is now included with each tide record, changing the format of
data uploaded from memory. Convert Hex was updated for compatibility with the
new data format.
- An optional strain gauge pressure sensor in place of the Quartz pressure
sensor is now available. Format of data uploaded from memory and power
consumption characteristics for the strain gauge pressure sensor version are
different from the Quartz pressure sensor version. Battery and Memory Endurance
and Convert Hex were updated, so they are now compatible with both pressure
sensor versions of the 26plus.
Version 1.06
12
May 2004
1. ADDITIONS:
a. Compatibility with SBE 26plus:
Existing software was updated to interface with current production version of
the SEAGAUGE Wave and Tide Recorder, the SBE 26plus.
b. Battery and Memory Endurance module: Added to aid in pre-deployment
planning. Module calculates expected endurance for proposed sampling scheme for
SBE 26 or SBE 26plus.
c. Extract Tide: The SBE 26plus can hold data from multiple logging
sessions in memory. This stand-alone module (installed in same directory as
Seasoft for Waves during Seasoft for Waves installation) separates each logging session into a separate file.
Extract Tide must be used before converting uploaded data with Convert Hex if there
are multiple logging sessions in memory.
Version 1.05
09 February 2004
1. BUG FIXES:
a. SeatermW:
-- Comm port setting was always reset to 1 when you closed the program and then
re-opened it.
-- SeatermW did not check to see if SBE 26 was logging before trying to upload
data. It now checks to see if SBE 26 is logging before it will upload, and
provides error message to stop logging first.
Version 1.02
06 November 2003
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Convert Hex -- If you:
1 - Changed coefficients
and saved to a .ini file, and
2 - Then opened another .ini file (without exiting the
Coefficient Configuration dialog box) and clicked OK.
Then the coefficients in the first file were overwritten with the second file.
b. Plot Data -- Plot Title was reset to the default name when a new file was
selected.
Version 1.01
20 June 2003
1. BUG FIXES:
a. Process Wave Burst Data crashed when processing wave bursts that have
fewer than expected data values in a wave burst (if hex file being processed has
missing data).
b. Processing progress bar was not accurate.
Version 1.00
