https://www.newfound-energy.co.uk/user-guides/propower-3-software-for-the-profile-energy-monitor/
Ver. 3.712
- Added functionality for importing of Recon T survey data. The Recon T MedcalScope software must first be used to download survey data fro the Recon T hardware and then export selected data as a CSV file. PP3 now allows import of this exported CSV data. See Addendum 1 in the PP3 software manual (Help > View Manual from within software, or see here)
Ver. 3.694
- No software changes but the software installer & executable file are now signed with a code signing certificate. This should help prevent false positive antivirus alerts during software installation and and when the installed software is run.
Ver. 3.693
- Corrected the Pulse Inputs section of the XLS report. It was reporting Max rather than Sum. The value was already correct on the software Summary Report & in the PDF report.
- On XLS Report, limited the calculated figures on the survey demand data & consumption data tabs to 5 decimal places.
- Added a message box to confirm submission of a valid licence key.
Ver. 3.692
- The NFE logo and copyright date on the About page were updated.
- A number of libraries have been updated since the last release.
- The scaling of the Volts & PF dials on the main communications screen were fixed to accommodate differences in the updated libraries.
- Fixed Excel Report day/night calculations on Consumption tab. Similar to the issue corrected on the Summary tab in V3.64.
- Added Cost column in consumption area of Summary Report, based on user entered Day & Night rates in I26 & I27.
