Upgrade history EDX-3000A/B

• Fixed the following bug.
  When you operated EDX-200A units synchronously, you could not set the “Synchronous cable setting” to “500 m or less” or “1000 m or less” on the DCS-100A.
• Fixed the following bug.
  When you operated EDX-5000A units synchronously, selected the “BAL.” with “Internal CAL” on the master EDX-5000A, and executed the BAL operation while monitoring data, the amplifier setting contents of the “voltage-mode channels” on the CDV-40B(A) series became invalid.

Fixed the following bug.

• Fixed the following bug.
  When the low-pass filter was "AUTO" with the DPM-42B-I-F and executed the internal sensitivity compensation, the range accuracy exceeded the specifications. This bug occurs only when the low-pass filter is "AUTO."
• Fixed the following bug.
  When the AD data format was "24 bits" with the DPM-42B series and executed the internal sensitivity compensation, error values appeared.
• Changed the channel No. assignment of KS2 files after merging the KS2 files - recorded by using the EDX-5000A and EDX-200A - while reproducing data.
  [Example] Suppose the units are as follows.
  Master EDX-5000A (80-channel unit, CH01 to CH08)
  Slave 1 EDX-5000A (80-channel unit, CH01 to CH08)
  Slave 2 EDX-200A (32-channel unit, CH01 to CH08)
  After merging KS2 files, the channel No. of new KS2 file are as follows.

Before:

After:

Fixed the following bug.

• CDV-40A/B(-F) or CVM-40/41A: When you execute the internal sensitivity compensation and when you select the high-pass filter “ON,” the offset occurred.
  (The target versions are Ver.01.38 to 01.46.)
• CDV-40A/B(-F) or AD-40AS-F: When you execute the internal sensitivity compensation with the A/D data format 24 bits and when you select the low-pass filter “AUTO,” the offset occurred.
  Fixed the following bug.
• When you load a CANdb file immediately after initializing the conditions and click the [Select all] button, DCS-100A was unable to set the conditions correctly.
  (To initialize the conditions, click the “File” - “Initialization of the condition...”)
• When you print the results of the statistic operations while reproducing data, the memory recorder/analyzer did not print the 12th or higher digits.
  [Example]
  Suppose the result is -0.001234567 (12 digits).
  The memory recorder/analyzer did not print the - (minus) sign.
  After fixing the bug, the memory recorder/analyzer prints the results within 11 digits (-1.2346e-03).

Modification

• In rare case there is a synchronous communication error between EDX models when whole cable length 50 m or less is chosen.

Debug

• The following bug related to the arithmetic operations has been debugged Incorrect result occurred if the exponential operations has a minus exponential value.

Modification

• In “Internal Calibration” for CDV-40B series, CVM-40A, and CVM-41A, the input cables have been included. So the measuring accuracy can be improved.

Debug

• The following bug related to the arithmetic operations has been debugged Incorrect result occurred if the exponential operations has a minus exponential value.

• Unbalanced data remained after performing balance on cards CDV-44AS, CDA-44AS or CDA-45AS.
  This bug occurs when the firmware version of EDX3000A/B is 01.41 or 01.42.

• If returning to the default, the balance data, and the registered internal gain data will be also initialized.
  To return to the default, choose [Initialization of the condition…] from the menu [File].
• When the CVM-41A at mode [Strain (10V)], the failure of gain decreased due to registering internal gain is corrected.
• When the CDV-44AS under mode [Strain (ON)], we show [NG] message for performing balance under unconnected situation.
• The following failure is corrected
  When DISABLE cards exist, Initialize the conditions will cause the EDX-3000A/B can neither set nor measure.
  Note, if card CAN-40A or CAN-41A is installed not in the last slot of EDX-3000A/B, the type of card becomes [DISABLE].
• When KS2 file is created in English and CVM-41A is installed, performing command [CAD] will result in hung-up.

• The following failure is corrected.
  When right click mouse on graph, select "Set Display Condition" , choose "each CH" from on tab "Type", click "OK" then double click on graph area, hang-up occurs.
• When read a file of over 1320 channels data, hang-up occurs.
  when using updated version 01.40 or latter, a error message will appear and halt reading data.

The following failures were corrected

• Soon after printing graphs or printing preview of graphs, displaying cursors or operating drag could result incorrect display.
  (Perform the following action could turn the failure to normal display. Start monitor, set conditions or resize windows）
• During real-time FFT analysis, monitoring channels could not be switched after clicking the channel switch button. (This failure occurred from version 01.33 to 01.35）
• During data reproduction, graphs could not be scrolled by moving scroll bar on the zoom mode.
• During data reproduction, extracting/ combining arbitrary data from KS2 file resulted in following failure. All bits of digital channel could become 0x7FF if the most significant bit was 1.
• During data reproduction, converting short type file to CSV format file, the significant data length could become 15-bit. This failure only occurred from version 04.23 to 04.32.
• An error halt could occur for a long time operation.
• In rare case, abnormal judgement could occur after checking upper limit/lower limit during measurement.

The following failures are corrected:

• Enabled legends outside the graph to either display legends right/left inside the graph in Y-Time, X-Y Graph and FFT Graph.
• Enable to compare monitor data with previous monitor data after display of comparison data (saved KS2 data) in Y-time and X-Y graph.
• Enable to analyze up to maximum 4 channels for one window in Real-time FFT analysis.
• Enable to save by FFT analysis result file format (CSV format) of DAS-200A for analysis result in Real-time FFT analysis.
• Correct bug that hang up when reading CANdb file of Node, Message or Signal description is longer than 44 characters or Signal unit is longer than 20 characters

The following failures are corrected:

• Rated output (mV/V) was not correctly read in reading sensor information.
• Arrow keys and the mouse could not move the cursor on X-Y graph. (This failure occurred with versions 01.10 to 01.33.)
• A minus calibration factor disabled checking of signals exceeding high/low limits.
• With CAN-40A/41A, 40 alphanumerics input for CAN-ID or CAN-CH number in condition setting resulted in hang-up.
• In data reproduction in auto scale mode, waveforms were broken off if the graph scale was switched.
• In reproducing CAN data file (E4A file) acquired through ECAN-40A/EGPC-40A, a press of the Cancel button to terminate data reading deleted the CAN data file (E4 file).
• In fatigue life prediction, the data acquisition time exceeding 10000 seconds was calculated in minutes though it should be in seconds.

• An error message will be displayed in case of unable to load KS2 file.

The following failure is corrected:

• Depending on the input status at the time, internal sensitivity registration for CDV-40B/A-F shifted data of the channels for which the low-pass filter was set to AUTO. (This failure occurred with EDX-3000A versions 01.21 to 01.28.)

Precaution for synchronous operation with EDX-100A or EDX-200A:
EDX-100A should be version 01.36 or the later.

• When a negative calibration factor was specified for the analog trigger CH, the trigger was judged on the trigger slope adverse to the setting.
  This problem has been corrected.
• The parting lines of the graph were not indicated properly. This problem has been corrected.
  Example: When the number of parting lines was 2, and the y-axis scale was 500 to 1000, the parting line for 750 was not indicated. (Versions 01.10 to 01.16)
• When data was deleted during data confirmation after measurement, automatically converted files were not deleted.
• When the conditioner card was changed to a different model of the same type, a measuring condition error occurred during monitoring.

  This problem has been corrected.
• Operation sometimes stopped functioning when a number and letter were entered consecutively in the arithmetic expression.
  This problem has been corrected.
  Example: Entry of “100A” caused operation to stop. (Versions 01.14 to 01.16)
• The arithmetic operation resulted in 0 if the range of argument of the computing functions ASIN, ACOS, DSIN or DCOS was not -1 to 1.
  Example: (10-ACOS(2))/10 resulted in 0 whereas the correct value was 1. (Versions 01.14 to 01.16)

The following failures are corrected:

• The limit of acquired data was 4G when the sampling frequency was 10kHz.
  Example: A figure exceeding 31, 250, 000 could not be set to the data acquisition number when the measurement CH number was 64CH.
  (4，000，000，000/ 2 /64CH = 31，250，000 Size of 1 data: 2 bytes)
• The trigger level figure was unable to be set correctly when the calibration factor of the trigger CH was negative.
  Example: The trigger level would be set to 1000 (limit) even if entering the trigger level value as 100 when the range of the trigger CH was 1kμε and the calibration factor was -1.
