Release Notes
Version: 4.23
Date: 2023.08

[Core]

  • [FIX] SUPPORT-913: Missing Negative-sequence (I2) over-current & Fuse events notifications issue fix
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2452: PQDR IEEE519 report components: MultiSite Summary, SingleSite charts & SingleSite tables
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2519: PQDR Number of Single-Site component [Site-Interval] instances limited to 53 in a report (number of weeks in a year, single site). SingleSite weekly charts hidden if data is missing by default (component property preference)
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2504: PQDR Compliance Parameters support one or more ChannelMaps for loading data & calculating compliance. This allows, for example, reverting to 10minute measurements in case when statistics are not available.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2504: Parameter data scaling improved (custom scale, multiply,divide by nominal v, f, property…) and moved from compliance configuration to channel map; this allows using both current HRMS channel divided by LoadCurrent property and TDD channel * 100 values for TDD complacence, depending on database availability.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2446: Support for (not-)multiple-of-3 harmonic selection (“t” / “n”) added to the CSV string harmonic selector parsing mechanism (for instance “2-10t” selects harmonics 3,9 while “2-10n” selects 5,7). Support for selector based harmonic group limits added to the PQDR HarmonicParameter compliance limit definition.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2446: PQDR Default Core/ChannelMap/Compliance configuration document templates are created empty – required (default) values are configured for all licensed reports via IConifgurationDefinitionProvider mechanism
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2446: PQDR Report types supporting IConfigurationDefinitioProvider interface can expose list of parameters, channel maps and compliance standard definitions that are added to the AS Documents storage if missing. This allows automatic support for all (default) configuration parameters required by the report.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2471: PQDR SteadyState loading segmentation based on MaxSamples preference
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2503: Support for ISO 8601 Year (51/53 full weeks, depending on which year contains week of Jan 4th) added to Aggregation and dynamic DateRange structures
  • [FEATURE] PQV-PQV-2485: PQView3Connection.GetSteadyStateSamples peak memory footprint reduced by estimating initial capacities based on requested data
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2485: Datalog samples loading and processing performance improvements. Refactoring yields ~10x better performance for large harmonic data subsets.
  • [FIX] SUPPORT-844: PQWebSDK.GetEventSamples truncates output samples by limiting samples per subset to EventSampleInput.RecordCount / SubsetCount
  • [FIX] PQV-2456: PQDR Word document output SVG chart issues fixed – explicit border definition adding to polygons reconsolidates inconsistency between Gigasoft and SkiaSharp default stroke value ( none vs black/1)
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2456: PQDR Vector/Bitmap chart support added to PQDR Word (EMF/PNG) and PDF (SVG+Skia/PNG) report outputs; Compliance bar charts support vector export and other customization; IEEE519 report segmented to the components.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2446: PQDR reports output is customizable via ReportSelector.Component type assigned to the selectors; TOC handling generalized.
  • [FEATURE] PQV-2446: Framework for customizable/modular PQDR reports implemented; EN50160 report separated into components

[PQDMS]

  • PQWEB-1190 “Remove site and all site data” is the very last option in the layout sent to PQWEB.
  • Nexus and Shark now have ability to toggle download datalogs/waveforms separately.
  • You can now change timezone for shark/nexus handler of how it translates time on certain fields. Defaults to local dms system time. This fixes some of the last waveform import skips that new logic was experiencing.
  • PQDMS persistent streams now return read position of where it is in stream
  • EI handlers now both store log sizes used per meter and convert old serialization to use new statically stamped version. Min/Max times are no longer stored as they were not doing anything.
  • Shark handler no longer skips certain files in the middle of a download because of unreliable CSVRECs read. Instead the DB is queried for min/max timestamps for datalogs and waveforms. The only issue with this is the last event may not import sometimes.
  • Shark handler will default to download data one year from current time if its blocked from reading or finding timestamps for datalogs/waveforms.
  • Shark now uses two log types as a result the PQDIFs now dump in a folder called “historical” or “waveform” to distinguish either to help assist in trouble shooting if something goes wrong.
  • Shark/Nexus handler – if a user enters in a “from time” even if its past what it thinks is minimum log time that time will be used instead of capping it to log minimum time in the event of failure to read time from logs.
  • Shark cancel out of time finding logic (which could look stalled) quicker if user requests cancellation.
  • Improved site name checking to better detect null and empty values.
  • Revised HDPQ Setup to allow the periodic waveform capture interval to be specified independently of the Power Journaling interval.
  • SUPPORT-905: Revised SteadyState record loading to use the NOLOCK option to avoid timeouts during index rebuilds and backups.
  • Added Excel File Importer (can be enabled via license component for testing).
