Release 2.4.3 (March 11, 2025)
Release 2.4.3 contains improvements to the distance to surface sensor as well as clarifications about the datum used for the GNSS processing.
Distance to Surface
- Changes have been made to the distance to surface sensor display to make it more broadly available
- The terminology has been adjusted to be more generic, with the following changes:
- Ground is now refered to as surface to reflect that the measured surface is not always the ground
- Plate elevation is now called Subsurface elevation. It was initially named with settlement plates in mind, but installations other than settlement plates can be used
- References to "RL" have been replaced with elevation, since RL was misleading
- Feedback on the soil height was overwhelmingly that it was confusing so it has been removed. If the soil height is still desired, it is easily calculated using the formula: $$ Soil Height = GroundElevation - SubsurfaceElevation $$
- A project setting has been added to enable the distance to surface display for the project
- A sensor level override is also avaiable to allow only certain sensors within a project to display distance to surface.
- By default, the Device Elevation (DeviceEl) and Surface Elevation (SurfaceEL) will be shown.
- If a pole height has been provided for the sensor, the Subsurface elevation (subsurfaceEl) will also be shown.
- The data export now includes the DeviceEl, SurfaceEl, and SubsurfaceEl
Datum Clarification
- Extra detail has been added to clarify the datum that the GNSS processing engine uses for each project to ensure we are being transparent about how our results are derived
- The datum information is available in the project settings under the Preference tab, and is also in the header of export files
Bug fixes
- Auto report generation has been fixed
