2021-02-02T19:26:47Z

Upgrade instructions:

Back up your configuration.xml and executable for previous version. The configuration.xml created by 3.2 will not read the ip address of pc instrument in previous versions since it stores it with the tag instead of .
Obtain SFTP login information to Chalmers data upload server. Update configuration in Global Settings -> Data Upload Server to use SFTP protocol, new hostname, and new login information. Click Save. Data sent via SFTP will be stored in a different location from FTP, but FTP data can be moved to the new SFTP location after transition if desired.

IMPORTANT! With this release there are two updates users should make in their configuration files: 1) Re-enter credentials for Chalmers FTP upload server in Global Settings and save. This information is now stored in ftplogin.xml. 2) FTP timeout to instrument is now configurable. Default timeout is 5 seconds. Users may want to consider increasing this value, especially where bandwidth to the instrument is limited.
