Latest Version Enhancements

PressureMAP Version 27

• PressureWEB™ Version 2.0
  This next release of the popular PressureWEB application builds upon the success of Version 1.3 and offers these several new display and setup functions: 1) a hyperlink from the main navigation bar to System Error (System 0) information; 2) a new Setup preference which allows you to designate the category of alarms that will be displayed in the application (4-star, 3-star and above, 2-star and above, etc.); 3) another new Setup preference which makes it possible to view device numbers that are in alarm as either a count (number) or a percentage of the total number of devices in the office; and 4) an update to the display of data in the In column of the Device Status View displays. Now when the word "Today" appears in the In column, it will also include an indication—in both hours and minutes—of how long a device has been in alarm.
• Added Support for Digi PortServer II
  PressureMAP Version 27 now includes 4-star alarm generation capability when loss of network connectivity is detected between PressureMAP and PortServers. In addition, PressureMAP Version 27 for Linux operating systems also includes a Network Administration option which enables you to initiate a connectivity test manually.
• DNS Lookup Capability
  PressureMAP Version 27 for Linux operating systems also includes the ability to resolve a mail server name via either an IP address or DNS lookup.
  
• System Uptime Display
  Both the SCO UNIX and the Linux versions of PressureMAP Version 27 now include a new System Administration menu option, which allows you to view the System Uptime in a new System Statistics Menu. The output includes the current time of day, an indication of how many days and minutes the system has been operating uninterrupted, the number of users currently logged on, plus load average data.
• Reading Histories Added to Dispatch Histories Report
  In past PressureMAP releases when a user selected View Dispatch Histories (option #4) from the Dispatch Histories Menu and included the "extra" option, which was "4ssi" instead of just "4", the output included the reading time and value for the device that caused the dispatch. In PressureMAP Version 27, additional reading history information similar to the Specific Device Information data is now provided without having to enter the "SSI" extension. Values are now provided for Last, Tdy, -1, -2, -3 and -4.
• System Dispatches Added to Dispatch Priorities Listing and Dispatch Report
  PressureMAP Version 27 now includes "system" dispatches that are related to an office with the corresponding Dispatch Priorities listing and the Dispatch Report. These appear following the usual "high five" display, under the new heading "System Alarms for OFFICE_NAME". Additionally, alarm delivery is modified to also send office-related system alarms when alarms for a given office are evaluated for delivery.
• Migrate PressureMAP Data
  Due to the differences in file formats and structure alignment between operating systems, a method was devised to make the transition from SCO UNIX to Linux as straightforward as possible. A special PressureMAP 26.02 release was created to provide a "Create PressureMAP Linux Migration Backup" option. This option, which is also included with SCO UNIX Version 27, converts data to a portable text format and archives it to backup media. A new System Administration Restore option, "Restore from Linux Migration Tape," was then added to PressureMAP Version 27. This new Restore option extracts the data from the backup media and uses it to create the corresponding data files in the native binary format.
• New Ring/Ground Variants for Current Loop Transducers
  Several new Transducer Types have been added to Version 27 for 289H Current Loop Transducers. The new Transducer Types are required when wiring transducers using ring with a sheath ground. The new TD Types are as follows: Pressure Transducers (CPA/RG/15.0 and CPA/RG/30.0); Flow Transducers (CF/RG/9.5, CF/RG/19.0, CF/RG/47.5, CF/RG/95.0, CF/RG/190.0, CF/RG/475.0, and CF/RG/950.0). Please note that the KPA and LPH equivalents for these devices are also supported, plus the following special application designations: BARO/RG/35, BARO/RG/1200, TEMP/RG/167 and TEMP/RG/75.
• Sparton PA Device Type
  This Sparton 270/540K ohm Converter Contact Alarm device type is used exclusively with Sparton and Puregas PVD800 monitors. It permits the use of a dedicated or subscriber module, rather than the standard binary module, to read a 270/540K ohm resistive output device. Sparton reads the binary PA device as if it were a resistive pressure transducer, and PressureMAP converts the reading to either "OK" or "ALRM."
• Support for Puregas C-Board (PVD800)
  In Version 27 PressureMAP has been modified to support the Puregas PVD 800 monitor. If PressureMAP detects a C-board, it then requires that the office designation be a PVD 800 office, rather than a Sparton 5300B, for example.
• Expanded Circuit Number Field
  The number of characters that PressureMAP allows in the Circuit # data field in a Chatlos-monitored office has been expanded to support six characters instead of four. This change pertains to the Device Log and Device Lop by Location reports
