  • Modified WT2xx power meter error handling to handle bad data when UUT power-cycles

​

3.18.6-1 (October 21, 2021)

​

3.18.4 (March 18, 2021)

  • Now uses NEEA-recommended compliance formulae with some explanations in the report.

  • New tests will also generate a "rerun_report.bat" file that can be used to re-run the report generation scripts on the given folder. You can copy this file to an old folder to generate a new report for that folder.

  • Detect partial/incomplete runs on tests stopped partway through

  • Addition of hover-tooltips to UI buttons that might need further explanation

  • Small changes to prompt formats and button text

  • Removal of extraneous CCF prompt

  • Added standby_guide.pdf, link in software during standby setup stage
