Pathloss 5.1 - revision date November 2, 2016

• In the transmission analysis module, a value of 0 could be entered for frequency that would cause an erroneous improvement.
• Fixed crash in CtoI Area study when site were removed from the study by using the site list check boxes or by deleting base station.
• View study details for CtoI area studies now shows all receive signals included in study for each cell.
• Main windows were not sizing correctly on start up.
• Minor fixes to language
• Adaptive modulation links will now calculate free space and atmospheric absorption loss without needing to enter a radio code
• Additional checks are performed when creating a passive to ensure all requirements are met.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date October 4, 2016

• Option to convert from 5.1 to 5.0 file format. Click "Operations - Convert .pl5 files to .pl4" to see this option. Converted files will be placed in a subfolder called \50Format.
• Fixed bug with PostgreSQL ODBC connector

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date September 15, 2016

• Antrad was crashing when opening files with long, but valid filenames.
• Convert .pl5 to .pl4 files was crashing if certain fields were too long - these are now truncated.
• When clicking the (A) button in the channel table to add ATPC from the radio file: The max ATPC is read from the ATPC_OPTIONS_DB field - NOT the "ATPC Top" figure in the modulation table.
• Link text import was not loading antenna data when a code was supplied for antenna 2 (space diversity)

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date September 6, 2016

Fixed a bug that could cause a program crash when manually entering threshold degradation in transmission analysis worksheet.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date August 25, 2016

• Create point to point links: The "To group" is now used when connecting to nearest number of sites.
• Certain combinations of TX emission and RX selectivity curves in radio data files could intermittently produce a floating point exception on some computers. This resulted in a large filter improvement and effectively removed the interference case

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date August 18, 2016

• ATPC power reduction assignment when using a required receive signal value was calculated using the lowest modulation state data when it should have used the highest.
• Changing the reference power when using ETSI operation could be applied incorrectly to the other modulation states.
• Fixed crash when clicking Files - New in Pathloss Link while in a module that requires a profile.
• Changing the power option in the radio configuration dialog now resets the user powers.
• Changing the antenna in the antenna worksheet and then canceling out, not all calculations were reset to the original antenna.
• CSV Link report 1 Column alignment problem when exporting adaptive modulation files with the show summary for all states option.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date July 18, 2016

• Shared Operation update window waits until program idle to request network synchronization.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date July 6, 2016

• Fixed problem in handling some radio files where radio_type field could cause a buffer overrun.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date June 30, 2016

• Local study azimuth fix
• Fixed potential interference calculation problem when using a very specific frequency separation.
• GIS file is not removed when loading a new link file with matching datum parameters.
• AntRad version 4 radio curves edit window was not showing the dialog bar at the top.
• Add to group functionality returned to "Import Pathloss data file" dialog box.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date June 15, 2016

• Change to over building diffraction loss calculation - revert to previous method.
• Local study was incorrectly determining azimuth for some antenna patterns.
• For ACM radios, a User Power can be set for all modulation states (ANSI and ETSI) during radio import or by clicking the TR button.
• Fixed crash when clicking ACU import index button in ACU worksheet.
• Fixed crash in CSV Link export 2 when exporting adaptive modulation columns on non-adaptive links.
• Fixed format problem for channel #12 export information.
• Improved handling of floating lock license release.

• Import Pathloss data file bug fix.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date June 2, 2016

• Fixed problem when importing some radios that could set the power level to 0

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date May 26, 2016

• Fixed bug in interference calculation. When calculating interference between overlapping groups or selections, some space diversity or XPIC cases were not reported.
• Pathloss Link window now closes automatically when opening a new network for shared use.
• When setting groups visibility there is the option to use an exclusive mode. In this case links will not be shown if the site on either end is not shown.
