• C/I SHEET
  C/I sheet now incorporates a C/N field which can be used instead of the calculated C/N

• Transponder
  File extension .trf registered for use with transponder and can auto launch Sat-Coord/Transponder by double clicking on the file

Bug Fixes

  Improved Transponder refreshing (on renaming)
  

Changes

• SAT-COORD
  Removed use of Windows temporary directories - uses Sat-coord internal directories instead to solve problem on computers used without admin priviliges
  Updated beam_name search to use a different field as the previous version is truncated where beam_name is longer than 4 characters Updated internal database structure files to accomodate beam name change

Bug Fixes

• SAT-COORD
  Fixed issue with inputting registration code manually where registration was not successful
  Fixed focus on find in criteria editing

Changes

Bug Fixes

• SAT-COORD

Changes

• SAT-COORD
  Added support for V5 databases in the MSMI routine.
  Added support for V5 databases in the Carrier Summary Custom Report
  Refined method for GIMS linkup and added support for latest GIMS versions
  Added V5 search fields
  Added 'undo search' functionality
  Added 'Output' directory to store all output files created
  Added functionality to MSMI - can ouputs all associated carriers in MSMI output format [REQUESTED]
  Added ability to lookup antenna patterns based on Antenna ID

• TRANSPONDER
  Added ability to input a set of transponders via a csv file [REQUESTED]

• C/I SHEET
  Added new option to allow the user to force an upper bound on the protection ratio, to avoid high C/N cases being uncoordinateable; PR now defaults to the digital case (PR = C/N + 12.2 dB) for cases where the carrier code is not FM (i.e. other than xxxxFxx)
  Changed "Other Network" so that FM/TV flag is taken from MS case only so that MSMI paste works correctly
  Changed "TV?" label to "FM/TV?" for clarity
  Changed name of 1st tab to "Options" to better reflect the function of this tab

• SATQUERY
  Fixed problem which occurred when using the ".." and "," range prompts in a criteria with frequency and you would get an OR where you should get AND.
  When the criteria node was selected in the criteria box and a criteria was added, the node was then deselected incorrectly

  Bug fixed to do with overwriting necessary GIMS system files if they were read-only

• TRANSPONDER
  A problem displaying the overlap for touching transponders has been fixed.
  When adding from Sat-Coord, it longer uses "," as a splitter since it interfered when outputting overlap reports in csv format, now it uses an ":"
  When performing a freq overlap report it no longer uses contiguous gap (as specified in your options), but always 0 to avoid confusion
  When performing an overlap report it chooses the Freq Band you are looking at automatically
  A bug has been fixed which occurred When moving networks it would select the wrong freq-band
  Fixed error which hung software if you attempted to move mouse over main window when there were no transponders

Changes

• (none)

Bug Fixes

• SATQUERY
  Registration scheme overhauled
  MSMI can now interpret "G" in carrier code (as bandwidth)
