4993 2020-11-30 Lab none Upgrade Lab none Upgraded embedded firmware from 8.5 to 8.8.32. This version should be used with the Windows software v8.8.35. Many changes, mostly related to Smartflux which we don't use. However, some changes which will hopefully improve clock syncing with the 7700.
v8.8.32- Fixes an issue that prevented the LI-7550 from reconnecting with the LI-7700 after the LI-7700 was rebooted without rebooting the LI-7550.
v8.8.15 - Fix incorrect headers for LI-7700 methane data. Fix configuration issues from GHG Windows software when setting up a LI-7700 methane analyzer. Fixed issue to ensure LI-7700 doesn't show up in metadata file when a methane analyzer isn't present. Remove 15 second connection watchdog timer that sometimes triggered at the wrong time and disconnected from the LI-7700 methane analyzer.Revamped code that logs LI-7700 methane data with CO2 data in order to prevent missing LI-7700 data.
