History v4.3.0
  • Bugs fixed: See Bug Fixes 4.3.0 below.
  • Updated G4Track.dll to v1.0.5
  • G4console sample project added.
  • Unmanaged VC++ v11.0 (VS 2012) build added.

  • Known Anomalies in this release:
    • The VC 11 build does not include the Winforms sample program.
    • For FasTrak projects only: Unicode builds (ReleaseUnicode, DebugUnicode) should not be used. Instead use multi-byte Debug and Release versions of the DLLs. This only affects PDIfastrak methods that deal with character strings: Get/SetCfgLabel(), TxtCmdW(), WhoAmI(), GetLastResultStr(), ResultStr() and StartSocketExport(). This limitation will be resolved in the next release of the PDI.

  • FasTrak console (FTconsole) sample program added.
  • TCP/IP socket P&O output feature added to PDI.
  • PDIsock sample program added to demonstrate client-side of socket.
  • PDImfc sample extended to work with all trackers without modification including FasTrak and G4.
  • PDIg4 and PDIfastrak dlls now delay-loaded: If they are not needed by the end-user application, they do not need to be distributed.
  • Known Anomalies in this release:
    • For FasTrak projects only: Unicode builds (ReleaseUnicode, DebugUnicode) should not be used. Instead use multi-byte Debug and Release versions of the DLLs. This only affects PDIfastrak methods that deal with character strings: Get/SetCfgLabel(), TxtCmdW(), WhoAmI(), GetLastResultStr(), ResultStr() and StartSocketExport(). This limitation will be resolved in the next release of the PDI.
    • On Windows XP only: Launching the G4mfc sample program from the Start Menu causes an error. To work around this problem, move the G4mfc.exe executable into the Lib\Win32 or Lib\x64 PDI folder and launch from there.

History v2.4.1
  • Online Help updated.
History v2.4.0
  • Support for Patriot Wireless™ added.
  • Unmanaged C++ VS 2005 (VC8.0) version added; VS.NET (VC7.1) deprecated.
  • Bugs fixed; See Bug Fixes 2.4.0 below.
History v2.3.0
  • Unmanaged C++ (VC7.1) VS.NET version of PDI added.
    • Includes Windows Forms Managed C++ sample application to demonstrate use of unmanaged SDK by managed code.

    • VC7.1 version of PDI supports native wchar_t.

  • PDIpipe sample program added to demonstrate creation of named-pipe client for collection of tracker data by external processes.
  • CPDImdat::FrameSize() method added to calculate size in bytes of configured tracker data.
  • CPDIdev::StationCount() method added to query number of active stations (e.g. For framesize calculation).
History v2.2.6
  • UNICODE versions of Debug and Release PDI libraries added.
    • NOTE: PDI 2.2.6 is built with Microsoft VC++ 6.0.
      Therefore, in UNICODE versions of the PDI, wchar_t is a typedef of unsigned long, and will not compile/link with applications using a native wchar_t type.

    • Look for the next major revision of the SDK to fully support native wchar_t as well as .NET.

  • Bugs fixed; See Bug Fixes 2.2.6 below.
History v2.2.5
  • Bugs fixed; See Bug Fixes 2.2.5 below. Fixes do not affect use with Liberty™, Patriot™,  or Liberty LATUS™ connected via USB.
History v2.2.4
History v2.2.3
  • New features do not affect use with Liberty™ or Patriot™:
    • Extended PDI support for Liberty LATUS™ Boresight 'B' command.
    • Extended PDI support for Liberty LATUS™ Trigger Pack output data.
  • Extended to support MinuteMan™. Changes do not affect use with Liberty™, Patriot™ or Liberty LATUS™.
History v2.2.2
  • Support added for tracker USB Buffering Mode.
  • Performance enhancements for continuous USB data collection:
    • Internal circular buffer is larger to reduce HOST_OVERFLOW_ERROR occurrence.
    • Data collection threads operate at a higher thread priority.
  • Added safety net for RS-232 frame overrun.  If I/O gets out of sync over RS-232, collection thread searches input stream for motion data frame header to re-sync.
  • Make default Debug Level 0 silent so that NO trace messages are displayed by default. This causes significant performance problems when debugging with Visual Studio 7.0.
  • Bugs fixed.  See Bug Fixes v2.2.2 below.
History v2.2.1
  • New features do not affect use with Liberty™ or Patriot™:
    • Improved PDI online help for programming for Liberty LATUS™.
    • Extended PDI support for Liberty LATUS™ 'N' command.
History v2.2.0
  • Bugs fixed; see Bug Fixes v2.2.0 below.
  • Other new features do not affect use with Liberty™ or Patriot™:
    • Extended to support Liberty LATUS™.
History v2.1.3
History v2.1.2
  • Important: If managing a LIBERTY with more than 8 sensors, it is recommended that you use PDI version 2.1.2 or higher, as it has been designed to work properly with recent upgrades in USB 1.1 drivers.
  • Fully supports Liberty™ trackers with 4 to 16 sensors.
  • Added an internal running "HostFrameCount" that is reset each time continuous mode is started.  Value of the HostFrameCount can be queried or manually reset through CPDIdev methods.
  • Error code "level" field has been added to ePIErrorCode values.  A level of zero (0) is the highest level, indicating a failure of some sort.  A level of one (1) indicates a non-fatal condition.
  • WM_PI_RAWDATA_WARNING Windows message added to report non-fatal runtime conditions, such as sensor out of mapped area.
  • Bugs fixed; see Bug Fixes v2.1.2 below.
