What's new in version 2.2.6? 

 

* Improved battery voltage monitoring. 
  
* The extended logging of various events to the log file can now be disabled/enabled in the 
F1/Utilities/Battery Settings menu. 
 
* The battery voltage warning and shut down voltages can now be changed by the user in the 
F1/Utilities/Battery Settings menu. This is useful to make the battery monitoring system 
compatible with different types of batteries/power supplies. 
 
* Various bug fixes. 
 
 
 
 

Upgrading from version 2.1.3? Here are the changes from version 2.1.3 to 2.2.5 

 
* New "Trig Sensitivity" system. The algorithm now tries to avoid making recordings that are 
not "pulse-like" (i.e. avoid recording signals of long duration).  
 
* The recorded files are not "Write protected". 
 
* "File create" and "file modified" time in files changed to better represent the true time. 
 
* If the power is switched off or otherwise fails while the detector is in the Automatic 
Recording mode, the detector will automatically resume the recording session when power 
returns. 
 
* More information in the D500X log file. The detector now logs when a timer turns on/off, 
there is an automatic log entry every whole hour, a log of low battery voltage events, etc. 
 
* Accepts CF cards without a partition. 
 
* 2 sec and 4 sec recording time added. 
 
* New timer function. The old timer function is still available, but in addition to this a 
"sunrise/sunset relative timer" function has been added. The latitude, longitude, time zone and 
daylight saving time is entered in the Time settings and the times for sunset and sunrise are 
automatically calculated. 
 
* CF cards in all four slots can be formatted in the D500X, not just in slot 1.  
 
* Various bug fixes and cosmetic changes.
