- Fixed an issue where the autotesting will stop if the change in room pressure is very slow at startup. It will now present a dialog asking the customer if they want to continue try to seek to pressure or stop the test.
- Fixed an issue where the last pressure was not being tested (ie if you test from 60 Pa – 10 Pa, the last pressure would be the 10 Pa) in some situations.
- Fixed an issue where if baseline capture, the pressure was 0.0 Pa on both Channel A and B, there would be an error. DM32 and DM-2 did not allow this, but DM32x does allow for this condition.
- Fixed an issue where very stable pressures from DM32X are interpreted as a stall.
Improved the message in the fan pressure cell tooltip text to show min FP and show the actual FP in use based on test direction.

Requested improvements:
- fix annotations on graph for two direction tests so they do not overlap, and ensure graphs show when there is data in two directions both in the same direction. #16069
- Netherlands standard NEN2686 needs max of 2 decimal places for results when using L/s flow units (based on the Standard) #16309
- when add a new set #16268:
- if 3158 or USACE just copy direction but leave the operator location the same.
- add new set in opposite direction to direction of the set the button clicked on but leave the operator location the same #16300.
- chances are they are doing an opposite direction test. this will help avoid extra direction changes that cause problems.
Fixes for Gauge Connection and Refresh
- put in way to cancel refresh if a “Find Gauges” operation hangs/’locks up’ (users can click start test and it should request a cancellation of the “Find Gauges” process)
- put in ‘scanning gauges’ message when lose a gauge during attain or collect.
- improved slow finding and recovery after loss of DM32X (by reducing timeouts).
- Fix so UI checkboxes for “Find Gauges” matches settings and include tooltips on checkboxes to explain
- warnings in UI if no gauges of that type are found.
- fix locking up if there are errors while reading gauges to determine their device and range #16328
- fixes for all types of gauges disconnecting USB during data collection and during seeking #16187
- fixes for checking connectivity via TCP socket since it can be reset by the host.
- carry out proper disconnect on TCP sockets (Shutdown and Close is the recommended method, per .net4 docs). so FT sends the FIN packet
- fix the 'primary gauge not found' error when do a Start test after having done a Find Gauges with DM32X as primary. (happens because dropping DM32X was resulting in a wait, but new gauges were found before the wait completes)
- ensure not sending anything to gauge when no TCP socket #16305.
Attaining Pressure
- better message for Negative Fan Pressure reason to include possibility that fan speeds are not being sent to DM-2 or slaves.
- fix problem where not always checking for different signs on Room Pressures than expected because average is too close to zero.
- Fixed a single fan stopping when fan speed is stalled because all are at the lowest fan speed possible - now raises a include Range Change Reason of LowSpeed, it was raising a confusing message of FP too low.
- start fix for individual control seeking not respecting each gauge room pressure and any ignore ranges. #16269.
- fix DM-2 multiple fan test not starting second fan #16326.
- ensure using the average bias for step not the max to check the test direction and oscillation because also used for adjusting target based on bias.

Features:
- New standard available to choose: ISO9972 Europe 2016 (Germany) (ISO9972DE)
- allow “no flow” range on multiple fan pressure lines for the same fan so flow calculation can ignore a fan (used when doing guarded tests)
- allow users to change fan serial number even with data in the test
- show an “All Gauges” option in gauge display sidebar so the average room pressure and total flow are shown during an semi or auto test.
- option to allow user to skip oscillating or stalled flow target pressure points during an auto or semi-auto test
- warning when reach 100% speed but no room pressure detected on flow steps (fan not powered on....)
- option to “collect data anyways” when primary is running at minimum gauge speed (1% for DM-2, 0.1 for DM32)
- New method for lodging tests to the ATTMA backend (to upload the whole test file), including persistence of the success ID number in the test file
Auto-Test Fixes:
- fix so does not stop test if resuming without data and did a direction change (was causing immediate stop on first point of many tests)
- fix Continue Pressure Station after a range change so fan speed is properly set to previous speed when resuming (keeping room pressure same as prior to stopping)
- ensured the target point with DM-2 is correct during seek pressure so can set to proper fan speed for collection with DM-2 (keeping room pressure from changing)
- changes in seek to pressure operation to fix the DM-2 having trouble attaining pressure, and DM32 attaining pressure when it is oscillating
- Note that DM-2 only changes speed in 1 percent increments so at low fan speeds it can take a long time to get within criteria for reaching pressure.
- DM32 can also get stuck oscillating or slowly reaching pressure
- With fixes for data collection
- Setting speeds at beginning of data collect (only primary needs speed set if in common control)
- Grabbing the correct fan speed to set
- With fixes for reaching pressure:
- DM-2 stalling or taking too long to start collecting when on pressure
- DM32 primary or DM-2 primary in multiple gauge situation,
- DM-2 primary in single gauge with high target pressure and oscillation on start.
- DM-2 primary in single gauge with low target pressure and stalled reaching pressure situation.
- DM32 primary attaining pressure too soon when volatile with oscillation on first target pressure.
- DM32 primary with oscillating fan speeds, .
- DM-2 primary in multiple gauge situation
- fix operation of the “Abort Point And Proceed” operation to first check if gauges are refreshing before starting next point, and wait for them to finish refreshing.
- fix for odd time out error during data collect when gauges are in error or are refreshing in the background
- fix for auto test stopping sometimes like there was zero room and fan pressure received when there was not (another cause of stop on first point of many tests)
- ensure the wait time is long enough after setting speed before collecting data to allow room pressure to adjust (particularly on the DM-2)
- fix for common control operation to only set speeds into the slave gauges when looking at the primary gauge
- for individual control ensured that the most recent fan speed is used from gauge queue (target attainment relies on error from the average room pressure of all gauges)
Semi-Auto fixes:
- fixed semi-auto UI to allow 1 percent speed to be set.
- fixed to correctly interpret user input of target values in the semi-auto UI when in a non-US language.
- fix range change at start of semi-auto to refresh the main UI if new ranges were added.
- fix for first flow point reading sometimes being corrupted with readings indicating it is doing a static collection (line number and df number being 0)
- prevent a semi-auto static collection if a fan speed has been set (speed has to be zero)
- prevent checking test direction if doing a semi-auto static collection (can only check when is a flow target point collection)
Control Calculations
- fix problems with bias average calculations in the average of all positive or all negative room pressures.
- only do the per reading calc for EN13829_FR and ISO9972, and not for other EN13829 standards or duct.
- fix updating of the Room Pressure Variation (displayed in the room pressure hover tooltip information, and as yellow colored room pressure text if >10%)
- so USACE with multiple fans shows correct values,
- during auto-test the correct room pressure is used for reference for the variation (average room pressure or primary gauge room pressure).
- Color room pressure text yellow instead of red for non-USACE tests so users are not so worried, but still get indication that their room pressure is variable
Gauge Connection Fixes :
- Changes so the gauge can recover on serial when both USB and Network are connected and the Network (TCP) connection drops
UI Fixes:
- Allow deleting the first flow target point
- fix “Show Graphs” button to work even when first or last points don't have flow readings (but some do)
- fix so flows are not cleared in UI when an auto test completes
- update fan pressure line ranges, equipment panel and clear main gaugeSet when SaveAs
- ensure only valid model names are in the list of devices that a gauge model can be set with
- Color the room pressure text yellow instead of red for non-USACE (when more than 10% variation in readings),
- fix room pressure variation display to show proper sign
- fix in ISO9972 which prevented variable room pressures on low targets from showing yellow when they were variable.
- fix in graphs for overlapping correlation values on graphs with two directions
- fixes for changing fan serial
- show the fan serial in the hover tooltip of fan so that we can see it
- update the equipment panel summary (in the expander label) when change fan serial

- some fixes in German language UI labels
Flow Equation Parameters (calibration data)
- ensure calibration data is saved and retrieved properly.
- when loading range information in the main UI, do not overwrite the fan calibration date.
- also need to check for actual custom in the test file .
- new method for setting the device model so when creating new files we can update flow equation parameters from last test that was opened.
- actually save changes to master calibration file and recalculate when changed
- update factory default flow equation parameters with new MF for 5000 fan
- when no certificate found in Retrotec online for a fan, prevent a calibration date from being added.
Reporting Fixes:
- fix output show multiple same direction sets in ASTM
- show the performed in and displayed in time zones in the report
- France variant energy tests with multiple sets are now output properly (were missing the second set even if it was there)
- The base energy template now includes translations in the output tags, rather than needing it in each language base file. This is only in the base template currently for all ISO9972 variants and EN13829EU.
- Witness Name and Witness Phone are now available for output to Duct and Energy reports if users put them in.
- fixed German language energy template
- fix UI being rounded up to 0.400 from 0.392 when recalculated before being output to report in L/s in EN13829NL
Settings Fixes:
- add UI limits when entering auto-test parameters
Test File (exml) Fixes:
- lock the xml during save

- include a flag for SavedFromVersion which is updated when create new, save or saved As
- keep locations and fan serials in the Device element when do a SaveAs
- Clear Devices element when create New file, or do a SaveAsNew, so that the Test Door Fans are either empty or can be properly loaded from the last opened file.
- needed to increase the number of decimals being stored in the exml file
- fix in Duplicate to ensure correct TargetPressures are based on original sample rather than app.settings defaults.
- force a file save if the flow equation params are changed
- fix update to set all fan serial numbers in calibration master file to lowercase and remove any duplicates, happens when open a file.
Programming Fixes:
- Fix a crash when users use non-gregorian calendars such as UmAlQuraCalendar which have different MinValue and MaxValue for dates.
- Affects all time related conversions, UI and values in xml files.
- Set build parameters to avoid auto-reported System.InvalidProgramException bug (probably related to users with Win11)
- fix some crashing in text entry boxes
- App now has build flag for use whole file for ATTMA lodgement
- new certificate and time stamp server used
