Download COMPASS® for Pressure
| Version 4 Releases | ||
| 4.2 (2012.07.27) | ||
| ADD | CP-115%4 | COMPASS for Pressure now supports the calibration functions of CalTool for RPTs. This functionality allows users to fully adjust and report calibration results for supported Fluke products. Sample tests are included with COMPASS that support automated collection of as received data and as left data with an adjustment in between. Review the CalTool for RPTs application note for details. The COMPASS CalTool implementation supports the following instruments: PPC2+, PPC2AF, PPCK+, PPCH, PPCH-G, PPC3, PPC4, PPC4E,RPM3, RPM4, E-DWT, molbox1, molbox1+, and molbox RFM. When Demo versions of COMPASS for Pressure expire, COMPASS will function but limit activity to the calibration of supported Fluke products. |
| ADD | CP-115%8 | The installation of COMPASS 4.2 supports the export of data into MET/TRACK 8.X. A separate downloadable patch was created to support the export of data into MET/TRACK 7.3. MET/CAL 7.3 users must download and apply the patch to support the COMPASS to MET/TRACK data export. |
| ADD | CP-1303 | A new [Data][Show Calibration Coefficients] menu choice was added to read and display the active RPT calibration coefficients. This menu option is part of the CalTool support and only applies to the following products: PPC2+, PPC2AF, PPCK+, PPCH, PPCH-G, PPC3, PPC4, PPC4E,RPM3, RPM4, E-DWT, molbox1, molbox1+, and molbox RFM. |
| ADD | CP-1226 | There are two new report templates used to adjust calibration coefficients for supported products run using the new CalTool features. |
| ADD | CP-1224 | Application Note on how to calibrate RPTs with COMPASS for Pressure |
| FIX | CP-1176 | When using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, there may be large delays polling the output of instruments. The problem was exaggerated when using a multiplexer as part of the data acquisition. The problems did not occur on older operating systems. The problem is now resolved by using a new COMPASS Remote Interface tool (DHIIO.exe). |
| FIX | CP-115%7 | Fixed the example setup for Ruska 2455 in default.mdb. |
| FIX | CP-115%5 | The 2465 Autofloat prompt window to "Open bell jar to vent" was unavailable behind the COMPASS Test Complete dialog when completing tests in absolute mode. As a result, the vacuum pump would not properly shut down at the end of a test. The dialog no longer displays at the end of the test and the vacuum pump is shut down without a prompt. |
| FIX | CP-1327 | The molbox "Upstream Pressure" or "Downstream Pressure" selected as DUT in the test would display incorrectly when repeating a test. The last used molbox output now displays correctly between repeated tests. |
| FIX | CP-1306 | Checking "Use remote options" from the [Database][Remote Options] menu would incorrectly overwrite the options in the remote configuration file. The function now works as documented. The settings in the remote file are now used locally. |
| FIX | CP-1305 | There was difficulty entering data in the ambient fields of the PG Calculator. The cursor went back to the beginning of the field after entering any number. This behavior happened only during test not when using the PG Calculator from the [Tools] menu. The problem is now resolved |
| FIX | CP-1296 | An ATM point in a test definition could generate an incorrect warning message when initializing a test. The warning indicated that the test defined pressure exceeded the limits of the active controller. The warning no longer displays incorrectly. |
| FIX | CP-1281 | During test initialization, the Head Medium would be empty when loading the FPG. Now the field will show the active head medium that is selected in FPG Tools. |
| FIX | CP-1209 | The Ruska 7615 was not automatically set to Gauge measurement mode during test initialization. The issue is now resolved. The 7615 is now properly initialized for a test regardless of its current state. |
| FIX | CP-115%6 | The test pressure would time out without getting ready if an ATM point was used as the first pressure point of a test that used a non-autodetect controller that was setup to use Ready commands. The problem is now resolved by ensuring that the Ready commands are polled whenever a vent command is issued. |
| FIX | CP-1181 | The lower limit of a Ruska 7250 was not properly set during test initialization. This could cause the test error message: "error 502 - low limit exceeded". The lower limit is not set correctly. |
| 4.1 (2012.02.17) | ||
| ADD | CP-1112 | The Ruska 7252 controller is now supported in a combined test port configuration. This allows a target pressure to auto select the proper channel and set the test pressure. Previously this configuration was not supported. |
| ADD | CP-1122 | MET/TRACK reference devices now include environmental monitors, 100011 - Ambient Pressure, 100012 - Ambient Temperature and 100013 - Ambient Humidity. These devices are now imported as standards along with te COMPASS calibration data. |
| ADD | CP-1144 | Additional examples are now included in the default database (default.mdb). The examples are automatically added to the current COMPASS setup database upon upgrade when the [Database], [Setup] menu, Auto update examples option is enabled in COMPASS. |
| ADD | CP-1205 | To bypass the 500 limit on the MET/TRACK asset selector, place a file called AssetLimit.dat into c:\. Specify the new limit inside the file, blank for no limit. The 500 limit exists to improve performance of asset selection on large databases. The list is auto refined based on manufacturer, model and serial number information entered for the specific device. |
| ADD | CP-1242 | The export prompt file entry allows overriding values exported from COMPASS. The DEFAULT entry in the prompt file line is used to populate the field in MET/BASE. |
| FIX | CP-1110 | Specific models of Ruska controllers would set and control zero gauge instead of venting the system pressure. |
| FIX | CP-1111 | The Ruska controller run time display did not always indicate the unit of measure selected in COMPASS. Now the test defined unit of measure always displays on the Ruska run time display. |
| FIX | CP-1114 | A Ruska controller venting test pressure could incorrectly indicate a "Ready" state prior to completing the vent process. |
| FIX | CP-1117 | During Test Initialization, an extra "B" displayed in the range text for a PPC or RPM4 configured to use a BG range RPT. |
| FIX | CP-1118 | Setting pressure on Ruska controller would show "Out of Range" after changing units from psi to kPa for devices with two channels such as 7052,7252 and 7750. |
| FIX | CP-1119 | Seat-based license could not be added or upgraded from version before 4.0 in some regional settings of Europe. |
| FIX | CP-1120 | The asset calibration Due Date was calculated by COMPASS when test data was exported to MET/TRACK. The Due date is now based on Asset fields I4228, I4229 and the cal date. It is not exported from COMPASS. |
| FIX | CP-1121 | Out of tolerance (T) was only recognized by the export to MET/TRACK when not comingled with other status flags. |
| FIX | CP-1126 | During test initialization, "Customize Output" would not show for Fluke 700 module, which is desired by customers. Now COMPASS allows all devices other than non-DHI PG to customize output during test initialization. |
| FIX | CP-1137 | Ruska 7215 came up with autodetect option but would not run. No 7215 is added to the list of supported AutoDetect device. |
| FIX | CP-1139 | Ruska 7252i would not change units other than psi. |
| FIX | CP-1208 | Fixed an issue where required fields without defaults would prevent the export to MET/TRACK from completing. |
| FIX | CP-1149 | Ruska controller resolution will be preserved in COMPASS now. |
| FIX | CP-1150 | Could not change unit during test initialization for Ruska 7010 |
| FIX | CP-1154 | May receive unhandled exception error when sorting MET/TRACK asset grid in COMPASS during Test Initialization. |
| FIX | CP-1155 | The MET/TRACK Asset selection screen no longer displays the "mtag" value. |
| FIX | CP-1130% | 2465A would show ready instantly after COMPASS step "waiting for stability" in absolute mode. |
| FIX | CP-1160 | The hold and stability limits shown on FPG run scheen were divided by 1000 from what were on [Pressure][Set] tab of COMPASS, which would cause the wrong indication of ready status. Now these limits are consistent. |
| FIX | CP-1162 | The first negative gauge mode target pressure entry for a Piston Gauge would result in zero for the mass to be loaded. All subsequent negative gauge pressure points would select the correct masses. The issue is now resolved |
| FIX | CP-1165 | Default Mass Loading Resolution in Tools/Options would not be enforced on PG Calculator. Now the Mass Loading Resolution in Tools/Options and on PG Calculator are consistent. |
| FIX | CP-1172 | Data file header information, including model and serial number, were not properly updated when using a Ruska 2465A. |
| FIX | CP-1177 | "Clean up" database option in the [Database Maintenance Tool] could sometimes fail with invalid password error message. The issue is now resolved. |
| FIX | CP-1178 | The mode of Ruska controllers such as the 7250 is now changed to "Measure" at the beginning of a test. Previously if the controller were in a vent state, a user was required to manually change the mode in order to user the controller as a DUT. |
| FIX | CP-1184 | During test initialization, Head Medium would show blank for PPCs. Now the field will show the head medium that is selected on the PPC front panel. |
| FIX | CP-1192 | The example setups in Default.mdb would not get automatically imported to the active setup database. |
| FIX | CP-1193 | "Over Flow" error would show when importing certain Ruska .ms files into COMPASS. The problem has been fixed by examining the file for legatimacy before importing. |
| FIX | CP-1194 | Letter designated "mass ID" values from Ruska .ms files could not be imported into COMPASS. Now COMPASS supports "mass ID" values with both numbers and letters. |
| FIX | CP-1201 | Could not run Negative Gauge mode for Ruska 2456 PG Monitor. Now "Negative Gauge" mode shows in mode selection during test initialization. |
| FIX | CP-1209 | Ruska 7615 could not be set to gauge mode |
| FIX | CP-1245 | When MET/TRACK export is active in Tools, Options, MET/TRACK; Asset information entered into COMPASS was required to be entered in the same case as listed in MET/TRACK. Failure to use the same case would prevent the test initialization from completing. |
| FIX | CP-1246 | Asset selection dialog may return wrong record after resorting the grid by clicking on the column header. |
| 4.00.22 (2011.08.19) | ||
