RADAN 7 Release Notes

RADAN 7 Release Notes Release 7.4.16.12090 Please see RADAN7-SystemRequirements.pdf if you are considering upgrading to RADAN 7 from earlier versions of RADAN or if you want to review the system requirements. 7.4.16.12090 1 3D - Fixed bug where of target drawn in 3D offset vertically from true location if vertical and horizontal units weren't the same. 2 3D -Fixed bug where horizontal location of target shown in 3D was not properly drawn for profile lines shorter than the longest profile line in the 3D file. 3 Bridge Deterioration - fixed bug related to creating 3D files from data obtained in zig-zag mode. Previously, profiles weren't correctly oriented if the user didn't select at least one starting or ending joint. 4 Migration - Fixed bug related to all the scans being shifted to the left by 1/2 the migration width when the user pressed the "APPLY" button. 5 Custom Image Export - added delay between drawing scans and capturing them in attempt to fix issue where on some computers the full-file image export doesn't work properly. Unable to assess if this fix works because no computers that demonstrate this issue are available. 6 Interactive Interpretation - Fixed bug where user cannot add points to targets other than the first target when using the Select Block or Select Range. 7 3D Display - Fixed Crash occurring with Intel HD Graphics 5500 display drivers on open of 3D files that were previously closed with the 3D window open. 8 Fixed tabbing order for all windows. So now the user will be able to tab from one entry to the next. 7.4.16.11210 1 Full processing capability for MiniXT files 2 Added 64x64 Pixel buttons for the Ribbon Icons to accommodate greater resolution screens 1.18.2017 Page 1 of 11

3 Added Lat/Long and 3D coordinate info to SEGY-exported files. 4 Header: Added sample stacking info to header (information only available on SIR-30 and later systems) 5 Header: Added scan stacking info to header (information only available on SIR-30 and later systems) 1 3D Gridding process - Applies to single or multiple random walk files with GPS: previously the gridded Z-slice didn't show up due to change in RADAN7 in spring of 2016. This issue is fixed in this build for newly-created gridded files. Older Gridded files with GPS will still not show the Z- slice. 2 RoadScan: Checking now done to see if user has done any position-shifting when looking at horn antenna calibration and asphalt files in Roadscan processes. Previously, potential trouble could arise when SIR-30 files had manual signal positioning done in the Position process in RADAN prior to running the Calibration or Reflection-Picking process. 3 GPS Units - Now when GPS is imported, it is displayed with default global units (e.g. Lat. Long. or UTM). Previously it was always imported in decimal degrees. 4 Fixed incorrect file processing and display of some DF and SIR-4000 files. 5 CSV Export - Fixed bug related to inability to disable filter options when attempting to modify an existing CSV Export config. 6 Processing - Process status bar now updates at a rate determined by the maximum of the input file scans and output file scans. This guarantees it never reaches the end before the file is finished processing 7 GPS import - for cases where DZG file extends beyond DZT file; now clipping last GPS point in file. Previously, if no GPS record tied to last DZT file scan, last DZG position was used. 8 GPS import - now when import GPS using menu option, if there are GPS points in the selected file, the previously loaded GPS points are deleted. Previously existing GPS points weren't deleted. 7.4.16.0623 1 3D File Creation: Changed maximum number of files in M3D from 1000 to 5000. 2 GPS: Added ability to import GPS data containing all GGA sentences. Previously it was limited to GPGGA. Now, for example, can import GNGGA sentences. 1.18.2017 Page 2 of 11

3 Changed filter for bad GPS Records: a) Ignore Checksum; b) On automatic GPS import (i.e. on file open) records with HDOP >2 or =0 are rejected; and c) On GPS import selected from menu no HDOP filter is applied. 1 3D: Fixed issue where slice creation method was stuck on "Max". Now "RMS" method works. 2 Image Export: Now when user selects "Full File" option, the window option automatically switches to "LineScan" because this is the only window that can be exported in "Full File" mode. 3 GPS: Fixed registration issue that may occur when have different length files in a 3D file that has GPS coordinates assigned to it during or after the 3D file is created. 4 Fixed wrong antenna center frequencies appearing in Channel Property page. 7.4.15.0929 1 3D File Creation: Changed maximum number of files in M3D from 500 to 1000. 7.4.15.0925 1 Migration: Now user can edit the dielectric directly through the menu. 1 Migration: Fix in updating the.vlc file in Migration. 2 Google Earth Related: Fixed issue related to not enough significant digits in latitudes and longitudes exported to Google Earth and KML files. This was especially noticeable for cases where latitudes and/or longitudes were in the hundreds. 7.4.15.0813 1 Added a pop-up message box indicating that it is in RADAN reverted to reader mode if the software was not activated (i.e. demo expired) the first time a file is opened in each session. 1.18.2017 Page 3 of 11

2 Changes related to the activation status changing between RADAN Sessions RADAN will automatically start in the mode appropriate to the correct activation status. a. If status is downgraded (i.e. demo expired), it opens up in RadanReader mode the next time. b. If status is upgraded, it opens up in the appropriate configuration depending on the activation - for example if it is activated as RADAN standard, it will open up in RADAN Standard. 1 Migration: Fixed issue for short files. Previously, the migration process shortened the file unexpectedly. 7.4.15.0728 1 Changed the method of Amplitude Offset Removal in RADAN to be compatible with the way we are doing this in the SIR-4000. This included always performing an IIR High Pass Filter for each new scan. 2 Changed the way that Velocity Analysis is run by always doing the velocity analysis automatically by default. 3 The Direct wave arrival time for Velocity Analysis is now estimated. 7.4.15.0702 1 RADANMini and RADANDF: Previously, users of these two products didn't have 3D functionality unless the 3D Module security bit was set. Starting from this version, RADANMini and RADANDF users will not need this module in order to view and process 3D Files. The module will still be required when working in the full RADAN mode. 2 RADANMini and RADANDF: now the 3D Ribbon will appear automatically when opening 3D window. 1.18.2017 Page 4 of 11

1 On initial opening of 3D window the 3D properties window (on the right side of the RADAN display) did open. This was a problem because the properties window should only be available for users with standard RADAN and the 3D module. 7.4.15.0604 1 Manual Import of GPS coordinates previously, after importing GPS from the "G" button dropdown menu option the file had to be closed and reopened before GPS coordinates appeared on location and 3D windows. Now file doesn't have to be closed and reopened. 2 Horizontal Scaling: When skipping scans, the scaling will now preserve the last scan in the profile. 1 Horizontal Scaling: Fixed issue with incorrect handling of profile boundaries (observed when performing horizontal scaling process on data with GPS). 7.4.15.0427 1 3D file creation - no longer limiting the display of the filename to 10 characters in the window listing the files and their 3D coordinates. 1 Fixed an issue which occurred when more than 18 files were open the same time. 7.4.15.0424 1 Updated Manuals 7.4.15.0312 1.18.2017 Page 5 of 11

1 Added 3D and GPS coordinate CSV Exports to RADAN for UtilityScan DF. This means that if a file has GPS coordinates and local 3D coordinates, then the exported CSV file will contain the current coordinates (either GPS or 3D) which are being displayed. If the file has neither local 3D coordinates nor GPS coordinates, then only distance, target name, and target depth are exported. 2 Excel export for the UtilityScan DF module - Exported image now being automatically resized to fit neatly in Excel spreadsheet. Previously it needed to be manually resized by the user. 3 Added Ribbon View tab to UtilityScan DF module. This tab contains the option to switch between 3D and GPS coordinates, which is important for 3D files collected with both local 3D coordinates and GPS. 7.4.15.0306 1 Removed automatic openening of the Global window when all files were closed. 2 Changed Manuals for the RADAN for UtilityScan DF processing and for the RADAN for StructureScan Mini processing. 1 Fixed issue in where the user's selected number of colors for layers in Google Earth Export was never saved to the DZX file. 7.4.15.0213 1 RoadScan - fixed issue where 41000S calibration files not processed correctly on SIR-30 when full direct-coupling is shown in the data (which appears as two waveforms preceding the metal plate reflection). 7.4.15.0211 1 Display of Targets and Layers - New functionality: The first time a file is opened in RADAN7, the targets and layers are shown. The show/hide status is then saved when the file is closed. 2 Added processing history to the Header Export option. 1.18.2017 Page 6 of 11

3 Added the ability to export headers from individual files in BZX file. 4 KML Export - now Elevation is exported in Meters. Previously, it was in the vertical units specified in RADAN. 5 Color Tables - RADAN6 Color Table #9 is now located at Color Table #29 in RADAN7. 6 3D Export of Z-Slices to CSV File - if using GPS coordinates, now latitude and longitude coordinates are saved to 7 decimal places. Previously, they were only saved to 3 decimal places. 7 Functionality Change - Global Properties window now reopens when all files are closed. Previously, it would stay closed until a user clicked on the button in the Ribbon to open it. 1 RoadScan Calibration file generation - fixed issue related to Antenna Model and Serial # options being read-only after first modification. 7.4.15.0206 1 Surface offset option is now a global option that is saved between RADAN Sessions GPS Import: disabled GPS Import Completed Message for all cases except manual import. 1 Position Correction - fixed issues where targets and layers not adjusted when position-correction process is run. 2 Splitting Channels - fixed issue where channel 2 interactive interpretations picks not correctly saved into split file. 3 3D Window - Fixed issue where targets were not shown in proper location for cases where 3D display area extended beyond data limits. 4 DF 3D files with GPS - Fixed issue where they weren't viewed properly in 3D window using GPS coordinates as the displayed coordinates. 5 Interactive interpretation - Interpolation: fix issue where picks don't change velocity method when user changes velocity method. For example - changing from "Automatic" to "Core Data". 6 Spectrum Transform: Fixed issue where amplitude spectrum not properly displayed when Surface option was on. 1.18.2017 Page 7 of 11

7 GPS Export - Fixed issue with interpolating UTC time. Previously, the interpolation didn't handle the HHMMSS format properly. 7.4.15.0202 1 Static Correction: Changed maximum number of points used in Static Correction process from 32 to 128. 2 GPS Import: disabled GPS Import Completed Message for all cases except manual import. 3 RADAN Mini: Fixed issue where RADAN Mini processing of 3D Mini files did not have StructureScan process enabled, which is necessary for migration of these files. 7.4.15.0121 1 Added support for Roadscan 4108 processing 1 Fixed issue with files larger than 4GBytes. 7.4.14.1215 1 FIR filters - increased maximum scan size from 2048 to 8192 samples. 2 Now compatible with DF, SIR-4000, and SIR-30 files that produce DZX files with User Marks. 3 RADANMini - Batch file processing of 2D raw files now incorporates automatic gain. 4 Horn Bridge Module: Added support to new signal position method (i.e. full diect -coupling) when dealing with multiple antennas, for processing 41000 data obtained with a SIR-30. 7.4.14.1208 1.18.2017 Page 8 of 11

1 SEGY files - added support for IEEE Floating point formatted data. 2 Horn Bridge Module: Added support to new signal position method (i.e. full diect -coupling) when dealing with multiple antennas, for processing 41000 data obtained with a SIR-30. 1 Horn Bridge Module fixed issues in the Negative Peak method. 7.4.14.1113 1 French Language: a. Changed X and Y slice position text in 3D Ribbon. b. Modified name of Focus button in the RadanMini French version. 1 Fixed issue where French language version didn't have some of the processes available from process lists and the process tree. Might also apply to other languages. 2 Fixed issue occurring when the user presses the "Focus" button in RADANMini using 2-D files. Previously, the process list prevented the user from applying a changed dielectric. 3 RadanMini - Fixed issue where 3D migration button didn't work for Structurescan Mini-EZ files. 7.4.14.1107 1 French Language: Fixed issue where French language version didn't have some of the processes available from process lists and the process tree. Might also apply to other languages. 7.4.14.1106 1 RoadScan module: a. Incorporate use of first negative peak or first positive peak of the pavement reflection as options for calculating pavement velocity. Previously, the amplitude used for the calculation was difference in amplitudes: positive peak - negative peak. 1.18.2017 Page 9 of 11

b. Added option for not subtracting metal plate reflection from pavement reflection when performing reflection picking. 2 Horn Bridge Processing: Now showing single channel when selecting bridge starting and ending points. 3 Interactive interpretation: added ability to delete target ground truth points from linescan window. 1 Roadscan module - fixed issue related to incomplete background removal. 2 MaxDepth process fixed issue related to canceling MaxDepth Process in a process list. 3 Batch Files - fixed issue where "Successfully Loaded GPS" message appeared more than once per file when creating a batch file with input files that have GPS. 4 Batch Processing - Fixed issue where GPS coordinates and probably User Marks were not being propagated back to individual files when running batch process. 7.4.14.1031 1 The about menu was added to the RADAN reader mode. 7.4.14.1023 1 The Automated activation agent was modify to require elevated privileges. 7.4.14.1016 1 Changed collapse order so that the 3D slice controls (expanding/shrinking and bookmarks) collapse only when ribbon very small. When they are collapsed they are difficult to use effectively. 2 Update of French translation. Should be fully up-to-date for RADAN7.4 now. 1 Export to CSV: 1.18.2017 Page 10 of 11

a. Now Creates a folder for custom exports configs. b. Fixed a bug in the Interval Output - when outputting value at specified interval it now outputs the value at the closest scan to the distance interval. Previously it could be off by up to two scans. 7.4.14.1003 Please see the RADAN 7.4 Enhancements and es.pdf. 1.18.2017 Page 11 of 11
