The beta version of Comfigurator 3.6.0 is available for testing by advanced users. This has more major improvements and new features which will greatly enhance the power of Comfigurator. The main changes are; UCM Connection The selection of UCM Connection has been improved. Go to Options > Settings. The Saved Connection Settings are now here (instead of Configuration > System Information). If "Override Saved Connection Settings" is unchecked the Saved Connection settings for Local Network and Remote Network are shown Modules Tab The Modules in the Modules Tab are shown in different colours depending in the status; GREY: Indicates that the module has not been found by Scanning yet, eg when the file has just been opened BLACK: Indicates that the module has been discovered by scanning RED: Means that the module has not been discovered by a module Scan GREEN: Modules that have their ID changed but before the modules are reset to activate the ID change. This applies to modules with firmware version 7 and above BLUE: After scanning, a new module has been discovered but the number of Modules has not been written to Comfort yet so Comfort does not know about the new module ID New Modules Scanning Rules Better rules for Module scanning to be described later Changing IDs for Module Firmware version 7 Modules with firmware version 7 can have their IDs changed by dragging and dropping the IDs on the Modules Tab. This changes the IDs of 2 modules, eg UCM #1 can be dragged to UCM #2 position which causes the two modules at ID1 and 2 to swap their IDs Sunrise/Sunset Times The date of Monday of each week is shown so it is easier to know which week is current New Actions Reset Module action 118 resets the module at specified ID (firmware 5.222) Save to Event Log Action 119 saves to Event Log - can be used to save any event to the event log Log in /Log Out Comfigurator does not log out automatically after any operation which cause it to log in eg Write, Read, Execute, Scan etc. This allows information in Monitor I/O to be seen after certain actions Check for Comfigurator Update Comfigurator will check automatically for a new version every time it is started and gives an option to upgrade the software Also, in Help Check for Update will update Comfigurator if a new version is available. Firmware Upgrades There is a new and simpler firmware upgrade method. In Modules Tab, select the module and right click and select either "Check for Firmware Updates" or Upgrade firmware from Local File. "Check for Firmware Updates" will upgrade the firmware of the module from the Cytech server if there is a newer firmware available. Comfigurator will decide the proper way to upgrade the firmware, either by Direct Connection to PC or by Comfort Bus. Transfer > Firmware Upgrade only has 1 option, "By Programming Cable connected to UCM" When Comfort, UCM and other modules have firmware version 7 ot above, UCMs and KT03 firmware can be upgraded by connection to Bus as well as by direct connectiob. This means that KT03 can be upgraded via UCM instead of by connecting to its USB port. However the upgrade time for KT03 by Bus will much slower, about 30 minutes compared to KT03 USB port which takes only 5 minutes. But this allows KT03 firmware to be upgraded remotely eg over the internet KT03 Default Template When a new KT03 is added, the kt03 default template kt03def.kt3x is loaded automatically instead of blank pages IR Leaner For ETH02, Increased buffer size to handle long IR codes or due to IR button pressed to long, so that this does not case an exception. Do NOT press and hold the IR button when learning IR codes Bus Monitor
