BOB

v 8.5.1.728

Hot fix

BOB crashed when NMEA ZDA sentence comes from a GPS with an invalid date. Some GPS’s send the date as 0/0/0 if it has an invalid fix.

BOB

v 8.5.1.726

Miscellaneous

  • Change target export to output DD MMmmm (degrees and decimal minutes) instead of DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds).
  • Improved editing location data and line bearing and heading tolerance fields.
  • Increased precision of displacement in export to support higher sample rates.
  • Fix infinite loop in interpolation during survey export or creating a surface plot if the first reading is included in the export.

BOB

v 8.5.1.720

New Features

Export Targets in New Formats. Target export could potentially output many columns. Users can select from three options:

  • Essential columns

  • Detailed

  •  Full

We implemented multi-select on the Target list so you can export all selected targets instead of just one.

When highlighting a section of the mag plot with alt-drag, the selection highlight shows a line at the center of the selection so you can more accurately select an anomaly and the surrounding area.

Miscellaneous

  • Fixed: Export GXF from BAM surface plots was exporting partial grids.

  • Fixed: Analytic Signal Scale was showing whole scale instead of restricting to the upper and lower limits set in Surface Plot dialog.

  • Fixed: Derived Series would disappear when sampling with a Synapse System whenever the mag emitted an update for the system sensor list ($clst).

  • Fixed: logic for gradient condition was reversed in the log table, so the absence of a gradient condition showed a red dot instead of a gradient condition doing so.

  • Fixed: Altitude and Depth were missing from the Nav Assist in some circumstances

  • Fixed: Placement of background images in an empty survey not placed properly after reloading the survey unless there was some other object in the survey like a Guide Line, or some data.

  • Fixed: Survey export was not interpolating GPS positions. This was especially a problem for surveys that had a GPS sample rate slower than the mag sample rate.

  • Fixed: For synapse surveys the “Derived Series” disappeared from the series list while sampling.

  • Fixed: The Goto context menu item on a Target moves the Geo Plot like Markers and Survey Lines do.
