3. Don't calculate, draw connection immediately (independent from reception quality)
Every connection will be drawn immediately as red an uncalculated connection. You can manually
calculate such connection by clicking on it and “Calculate connection” or for the full project menu
-> edit -> Calculate all connections new
New: Scan also reception quality with normal data.
When deactivated no reception quality is scanned. You can only scan it separately by a new menu
item.
New for 1.53:
Behavior when saving the file: Create a backup copy with date- and time information
If this option is activated everytime you use the command ‘save’ an additional copy of your project
including the time stamp in the file name is generated in the same folder.
New with 2.0:
The functions of the professional version can now be activated by selecting the option "Enable all
functions of the professional version".
Ethernet routing:
In the event that Ethernet communication interfaces are present in the project, you can define here
whether the Ethernet routing should be conducted over IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
New for 2.15 (only if working with USB-RF-Configuration Stick):
If you are using the new USB-RF-Configuration Stick you can set the Transmit- and
Receive-power of the Gateway (Default 90%).
In some situations it may be of advantage to work with a reduced range (in special when you want
to scan only small areas).
After every MRF restart this is always set to 90% to prevent unintentional settings.
New for 2.36:
A new option to set the maximum number of Routing-Hops when calculating connections has been
added. This option defines how many maximum Routing-Hops for Single- and Group-Connections
are allowed. The default value is 4 and can be increased to 8 or 12. Normally 4 Routing-hops are
sufficient and meaningful, however in rare situations the necessity to have more than 4 can be
possible.
This setting has a big impact on the duration of the Caclulation of connections especially in very
big projects when the reception quality is quite low between the devices. Previously this value was
set to 20 but has never been needed in a known project and only took additional time in the
calculation of connections (MRF calculates always all possible solutions for a connection until the
point where the maximum routing hops are reached).
You can change the value at any time to have connections calculated with different number of
Routing hops.
