SmartOne Config Software Release Notes
SmartOne Config Software Release Notes
Updates aimed at fixing user experience and interface issues included bug fixes preventing unnecessary dialogs (version 3.3.3), synchronization of input types with message tabs (version 3.3.2), proper loading of diagnostic interval data (version 3.3.4), and refined handling of the input status change in the UI .
Significant bug fixes in version 3.3.3 included solving the ghosting of the Read window, preventing unnecessary display of the Bluetooth Reading dialog, and refining text prompts related to Wetted Voltage .
The continuous GPS mode introduced in version 3.4.20 impacts the battery requirements by necessitating line power for SmartOne C devices due to increased battery drain, making it unsuitable for battery-only operation .
Earlier versions addressed several compatibility and reliability issues. For instance, version 3.3.10 fixed programming cable timeout issues for SmartOne Solar devices, while version 3.2.13 ensured all ESNs were properly added to the Configuration History. Version 3.2.10 solved the problem of opening configurations from history (Error Code 103), and version 3.2.9 enhanced reliable programming for multiple devices through Serial, supported SmartOne B, and improved compatibility with older Configuration History files .
Enhancements for SmartOne Solar devices included fixing programming cable timeout issues in version 3.3.10, introduction of programming features specific to Solar including marking in the UI (versions 3.3.5), and various other bug fixes across versions to ensure smooth functionality .
It can be inferred that Globalstar places a high priority on fixing bugs and updating features, as seen by the consistent updates addressing technical issues, improving user interfaces, and enhancing compatibility across multiple device types. This continuous attention to product performance and user experience demonstrates a robust commitment to maintaining and improving their software offerings .
Version 3.2.9 improved programming capabilities for devices by enabling reliable programming of multiple devices through Serial connection, introducing support for SmartOne B devices, and incorporating better support for older Configuration History files .
Version 3.4.20 of the SmartOne Configurator Software introduced support for continuous GPS mode for SmartOne C devices, which requires line power due to increased battery drain. The configuration file extension was updated to .gcfg4. The DFU button was removed from the configuration tool. Moreover, a bug fix was implemented to prevent users from programming airfinder or the Beaconing mode in non-SmartOne Solar devices, and another bug fix removed an invalid parameter popup when the motion interval was greater than or equal to the at-rest interval .
Changes to configuration history files include a format change noted in version 3.2.13, proper addition of all ESNs to the Configuration History, and improvements such as adding programming over serial to the Configuration History .
In version 3.3.5, the update enabled the Upload Firmware button after every Serial DFU, added an error dialog to prevent programming Solar-only features on non-Solar devices, and marked SmartOne Solar Configuration features in the User Interface .
