1.11.33 BETA- 19 Nov 2021

This beta version fixes ...

• incorrect interim results when crossing UTC time midnight for Custom Tests.
• positional jump when loading a .vbc line file of 3 points.
• issues accessing the Online mode on the Windows 7 operating system.

Please note: This software is considered pre-release. It has been tested to ensure any new functionality or bug fix has been implemented correctly, but has not yet completed a full testing cycle and sign off – there may still be other bugs in this version!

Do not use beta versions when performing critical tests, unless a problem with a release version prevents you from completing the required tests satisfactorily.

1.11.31 - 8 Oct 2021

New Features

• Support added for VBOX Touch online connection.
• Frequency distribution analysis test results can now be further analysed to see distance or time spent within a channel value range, or how often the channel was within a value range.
• Wheel Slip channels added to Custom Test Recent files list. It now shows full file path as a tooltip
• 'Time since last run' can now include or ignore aborted runs
• Report columns for Test Time, Distance, Start Speed, End Speed & Average Accel use decimal places as configured in Options
• R41 test now usable with a larger range of PMR values
• UNR79 tests now have smoothing on Lateral Acceleration due to regulation change

• Support added for online connection to VBOX Sigma - our new low cost RTK data logger.

Bug Fixes

• 1ft rollout accuracy improvement
• Map Gates and Scale flickering when online
• Zoom and cursor position lost after changing smoothing when in Workspace
• Software crash when loading in a VBO file exported from a VBTS session when the session had been 'paused'
• Certain MFDD values could cause VBTS to freeze
• Exception given if no heading data present during brake test
• When exporting test results, 'Time/Distance since last run' column values are always zero.
• Exception when setting gate too close to end of movement
• UNR79 lane cross not reported correctly when no vehicle shape/overlay defined
• After renaming a session (by clicking on the tab in test results) that session name is not being reflected on reports
• R117 Pass-by-Noise - changing tyre class wasn't automatically updating results
• Maths channels that were copied & pasted did not retain formatting
• Saving VBO file session 'Please try again after a few seconds' preventing the software from being closed

1.10.68 - Oct 2020

Features added:

• Run Graph now displays an interpolated point for the start and the end of the run for a given channel. This helps to make it clear when viewing the graph what the start of run and end of run values were for that channel.
• Measure Tool now interpolates the start and end of the range. Previously, the measure tool provided measurements from the first sample to the last sample within the range only.
• End of Session condition now available in Custom Test plugin. This allows a test to be configured, for example, to start immediately and then stop at the end of the file.
• New -Reset on start condition- option within a Brake -Trigger- test. This allows the test reset condition to be disabled, so the test will always start on the first trigger.
• It is now possible to Copy Individual Result Cells, or multi-select cells by holding control, without including result column headers.
• Session Colour now displayed within the File List ribbon drop-down menu on the Home tab.
• Gauge Test channel selection organised by source of channel data, i.e. test column gauges, count down gauges, default gauges and test plugin specific gauges.
• UNR79 Lane Keep - distance to lane computations now work when just one lane is loaded.
• New Release Notes section within the File Menu detailing information such as new plugins, new features and bug fixes in relation to the current Software version. Release notes can also be accessed next to the software version within the About Menu.

• Other Dashboard improvements to include grid now being hidden and alignment increments being reduced, angular meter avoids wasted margins - and so renders much better when sized small, and new 'Dashboard Update Rate' available in options
• Custom Test now allows a test to be started when a channel value >= a given value. Previously a test could only be started when a specified value was crossed
• Lap Timing plugin (beta) - perform lap analysis for driving around a circuit. Also allows remote data connection for live analysis in conjunction with SimPack

• Clear All button to remove all open files/sessions
• Brake Test 'Reset on Start Condition' advanced test configuration option added.
• Ability to 'playback' a vbo file. Previously this was only possible if the file had associated video.

• VBOX Setup now installed automatically on new installs of VBOX Test Suite.

• Zoom when 'Centre on vehicle' is enabled on map.
• Improved map handling when sats are 0 but position is present.

• Copy chart as image causes user added chart to disappear
• Channel names not shown on all charts for a screenshot.
• Map jumping as user attempts to pan (caused by small mouse drag at same time)
