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.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date June 3, 2016

• Import Pathloss data file bug fix.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date June 2, 2016

• Added the option to copy detailed, per radial, HAAT information. This is done in the HAAT calculation in the Pathloss 5 Link Site Data dialog box.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date May 27, 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.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date May 18, 2016

• Pathloss now saves manual changes to the reference state power in adaptive modulation radio links.
• Fixed bug in AntRad that would cause a crash when saving conventional Microwave radio in ASCII format.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date May 9, 2016

• Corrected bug that could cause a crash if Obstruction fading routine was run on an adaptive modulation path showing detailed reference state information.
• Corrected bug where CSV Link report II would output identical rows for every leg of a passive repeater link.
• Change to Antrad that can read 5.0 raf files with modulation states starting on rows other than one.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date May 2, 2016

• Fixed problem with DEMS that use US State Plane Projections in feet or US survey feet.
• The Pathloss license server now resides on an amazon server. You may need to update your firewall settings after applying this update. Contact CTE for details.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date April 25, 2016

• Removed small utility init_flo.exe which was generating false positives in some anti-virus software.
• Fixed bug that was preventing ETSI power levels from being limited to the reference modulation power.
• Transmission Analysis window drawing were not showing the correct figures for the reference state. (adaptive modulation)
• Fixed bug that prevented DTED data from being loaded.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date April 19, 2016

Major bug fix that would cause a program crash during activation if a connection to the license server was not available.

This correction required a full uninstall and reinstall.

Pathloss 5.1 - revision date April 18, 2016

• Fixed transmission detail and summary report problem that would not correctly display the channels frequency and ID's
• Added descriptive fields to Google Earth export: Azimuth, TX Channel ID, TX Power, RX Threshold, Link Type, Link Status, LoS Status, Site Coordinates, Site Type, Site Status and Tower Type.
• Manually entered path lengths in PL50 link are preserved after saving and loading.
• Availability rejection criteria for auto link design now appears for adaptive modulation regardless of display setting.

Release of Pathloss 5.1

• New development platform.
• Dynamic number of modulation states for adaptive modulation radios (unlimited number)
• Dynamic number of radio configurations (unlimited number)
• Improved transmission display options for adaptive modulation radios.
• Whole program memory management and stability improvements.
• Option to delete .pl5 file when deleting links from network display restored.
• Fixed possibility of crash on very specific path geometries that could occur when generating large studies.
• Blank site list elevations are update automatically after generate profile operation. (No Data Discrepancy dialog.)
