Graphing Colors

The color schemes for features that use graphing, such as Real Time Graph, Data Logger, or Histograms, have been changed. Additionally, the manual color selection process for the Real Time Graph and the Data Logger features has been updated. User selected graph colors are now maintained through any disconnections, and only change when the user chooses to revert to the default color settings or selects different graph colors manually

New Hot Key to Reposition Service Tool Window   

When the service tool window is not showing in the viewable area, there is now a hot key to allow the user to recover the window. CTRL-ALT-H will reposition the window in the viewable area. The original window proportions will be preserved, unless they exceed the main monitor size. In such cases, the window will be resized to fit the main monitor dimensions.

ECM File Replacement Compare Feature    

The service tool now has an ECM Replacement File Compare feature for troubleshooting purposes. This feature allows the user to compare one ECM replacement file with another from within the ECM Replacement feature screen. The feature will highlight the differences between the selected files as a whole or the user may select the “only show differences” checkbox.

Configuration Group Headings on ECM Replacement Feature    

In order to help the user find ECM replacement configuration items easier, configuration items in the ECM Replacement, Fleet Configuration, and Product ECM features are now grouped under their group sub-headings, as is done in the main configuration feature.

Feature Protection System Password Copy    

The Feature Protection System (FPS) has a new "Easy Copy" link to copy passwords in a single operation. The service tool can automatically obtain the passwords from the clipboard and populate the FPS dialog. The service tool dialog also has a new "Easy Paste" button that allows the user to paste data of the correct format from the clipboard. Passwords can still be pasted using customary copy/paste operations, such as the context menu or the CTRL + V hotkey combination.

Screen Resolution Requirement Update    

The minimum requirement for screen resolution has been updated to 1366x768, or at least 1366 pixels horizontally and at least 768 pixels vertically. The recommended screen resolution is at least 1600x1200. The service tool window displays with a minimum size of 1024x680.

Calibration Images   

Images attached to calibration instructions will no longer need to be opened manually to be viewed by a technician. The service tool will now have split user interface windows for calibrations that display pictures. This will allow the technician to see the images without having to navigate away from the instructions. Images may be opened into individual windows and resized for better clarity. The user interface for calibrations that do not display pictures will remain unchanged.

Default PC Browser   

The service tool will no longer automatically launch web pages in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Web pages will now launch in whatever application is configured as the default internet browser. Certain web pages require a specific browser and may launch in a different browser.

The Preferences dialog has an option to disable the tool.

ECM Naming Changes

Certain ECMs connect to the service tool over two data links at the same time. The service tool shows a message popup when the ECM is only detected on one link. The service tool has been changed to add the text **INCOMPLETE** in the ECM name when the connection is incomplete. Service tool features that display a connection icon also use a new icon for an incomplete connection.
