What is new in version 1.4.0
New
- Setup, program and uninstaller are digitally signed (publisher Cronesix GbR).
- AI connection: An AI program on the same computer (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex) can read and operate the software - view the configuration, build logic, read values from the device.
- Changes to the control unit always ask for confirmation one by one; programs that cannot ask do not get to the device at all.
- Tools -> AI connection: state, setup text to copy for each program and the log of all device accesses.
- Settings: The AI connection can be switched off completely.
- The AI looks up questions about operation in the bundled manual instead of guessing.
- The AI follows fixed rules: first look it up in the manual and the node catalogue, then propose, never guess.
- The AI can connect, disconnect, save and query the state of long transfers.
- The AI listens to the CAN bus: which addresses send, at what rate, with what data.
- The AI decodes messages with the bundled CAN databases and can send individual ones after asking.
- The AI can inspect the files on the device - logs, recordings, crash reports.
- The AI evaluates stored recordings as numbers (characteristic values and course per signal).
- Help: The search also finds text on the pages of datasheets and application notes and marks the place on the page.
- Help: Datasheets and application notes can be zoomed in and out (buttons, Ctrl+mouse wheel, Ctrl+Plus/Minus, Ctrl+0).
Improved
- Help: Manual with screenshots and legends for every window; chapters on the user interface, tools, logic plan and nodes rewritten.
- Help: Datasheet pages ship at a higher resolution and, like all scaled-down images, are drawn smoothed; thin lines and small print survive zooming.
- Help: While scrolling, the outline follows the section being read, not the topmost one at the edge.
- Device pages: The "Device info" tab is no longer built in advance on every click on the device card.
- Console: At level "DEBUG" the diagnostic lines of the connection modules (polling, UDS session) now appear as well.
- Display: The live preview no longer rebuilds the logic for every image and every bound widget.
- Steering wheel: The device page appears about half a second faster at start (curve diagram only when opened).
- Start: Preloading the device pages in the splash screen runs without a competing background import (about 0.2 s faster, no deadlock possible any more).
- Signal plot: The drawing timer only runs while the window is open.
- Device pages: The device photos are stored smaller - the pages build faster, the installation is about 13 MB smaller.
- AI connection: The installation is about 50 MB smaller.
Fixed
- AI connection: The connection to the device can no longer be closed while a transfer is running.
- Logic plan: The direction arrow on a connection line pointed backwards after clicking a node.
- Logic: On devices with older firmware the comparison right after the transfer reported "differs" again.
- Lap timing: Curves from the import wizard were offset by the start-line offset in the editor and on the device.
- Lap timing: The check for curves beyond the track length did not apply once target times were set.
- Display: After the template dialog the live preview drew the page at half resolution.
- Display: Page files with widgets in the old format could no longer be opened.
- Display: The selection frame of the lap-time widgets now matches the drawn size.
- Splash screen: The mouse pointer no longer turns into the wait cursor over it.
- Logic: When restoring from the device, signal bindings on hysteresis blocks were lost.
- Firmware update: Esc and the close button no longer end the dialog while flashing.
- File transfer: After an abort, the next transfer on the same connection failed immediately with "transfer aborted".
- Lap timing: An unreadable track selection no longer deletes all tracks from the device when saving.
- Logic: A logic plan with errors (such as an invalid CAN ID) is no longer transferred to the device.
- Track editor: "Export" names the open points of an incomplete track again instead of aborting with an error.
- Signal plot: With fast signals (UDS stream), timestamps and values could shift against each other by one sample.
- Connection: If two file transfers ran at the same time, polling and the connection watchdog could stop for good afterwards.
- Connection: When disconnecting during a running stream setup, the window froze for up to two seconds.
- Connection: Memory usage grew steadily while connected instead of staying stable.
