All hardware, software and accessory updates.

New Features

• Plot surface plots for multiple series including derived, position, and other series.

Miscellaneous

• Importer refreshes preview if file changed.
• Improved validation on dialogs
• Improved pasting geolocations into dialogs including UTM formats
• Exported target csv files are now compatible with the importer, so they can be imported back into another survey.
• Removed New Survey menu item from the main menu.

• Fix: Location dialog was not validating correctly.

• Fix: Comma-separated export of markers, targets, or lines with a comma in the name misaligned the columns.
• Fix: Opening analysis dialog resulted in Signal Strength series being hidden.
• Fix: Series from older surveys did not have an offset defined, and resulted in a crash when opening the edit dialog.
• Fix: If a survey has no GPS fixes, the dialog to edit markers couldn’t find a location and failed validation on save.

New Features

• Targets, Guide Lines, and Markers export to KML, GeoJson as well as CSV.
• Select level of detail to export targets with: essential, detailed, or full analysis.

Miscellaneous

• Fix: line splitting dialog would crash if splitting lines when the survey did not have GPS fixes.
• Deriving a new series initializes it’s offset to the source series’.
• For regular (non-derived) series, the edit dialog displays its offset.
• Improvements to dialog editing and validation.

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.

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.

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.

New Feature

Export guide lines to CSV, and GPX format (for import into Garmin and other GIS systems)

Miscellaneous

Show/Hide columns in Log Table based on profile plot series’ visibility.

Marker import is more flexible and less strict about which columns must be present.

Urgent bug fixes.

New Features

Annotate Data Series.

• In the layers of the profile plot you can make notes on series, and change the name or color.

BAM

Create derived series

• Any of the traces shown in the profile plot can be selected to create a new one that is smoothed with a de-spiker (median filter), and/or a smoothing algorithm — either moving average or savitsky-golay.
• Combine multiple data series by averaging, adding, subtracting, or taking the root of the sum of squares (RSS).
• These new series can be exported, or analyzed on the profile plot

Surface plot any data series

• Any of the traces shown in the profile plot or new derived series can be turned into a surface plot image. E.g. you can plot the bottom data series to get bathymetry charts.
• Users can chose a linear or an ‘equal area’ color scale based on a histogram of the data. (Total Field plots use this implicitly, Gradient plots use linear scales.)

Miscellaneous

• Auto-detect if you have Synapse 1.0 or Synapse 2.0 systems.
• Auto-detection of the mag and transceiver protocol is improved.
• Node firmware vision is shown on status panel now.
• Fixed: Guide Line import from delimited text file.
• Fixed: When the main window was made very narrow the dialog for zeroing the pressure sensor was hidden.
