LandStar8: new version notification

Hello! you are receiving this notice because you are subscribed to the ‘LandStar8’ mail list at iGage.

If you would like to be removed from the list, please use the [ leave mailing list ] link at the bottom of this message. It really does work.

If you know anyone else who would like to be added to this list, this link: https://igage.com/ml has a subscribe & unsubscribe form.

As always, if you are not having issues or don't need any of the new features, there is no reason to update or change your LandStar8 version. Just ignore this message.

I strongly recomend that you never update LandStar or receiver firmware when prompted by the program. Always ignore forever these program generated suggestions. Receiver firmware can be updated manually via the web interface, LandStar is best updated via the iGage web site.

This version has been in pre-production use for 3 weeks. No issues have been reported.

1. Solved the problem where independent baselines could not be adjusted. Now, they are processed as separate baselines, not connected to each other.

2. When importing JXL files, local site parameters are now supported. More existing Trimble jobs should now directly import successfully with less human intervention. Projects with two scale factors used to cause issues.

3. Single point localization, if no result is calculated, the Accept button is not available.

6. Remove FCC Call Sign settings from rover station profiles as it is not needed for receive operation.

8. Software registration, scan QR code to support obtaining email addresses. When you scan a QR code containing the registration number, it is now possible to include a semi-colon delimited email address: “3X45T654A2;youremail@gmail.com” populates both the “Activation code (Pre-code)” and the “E-mail”. We can now make these dual code QRCodes when we issue new certificates.

9. Added Montana coordinate systems “Rocky Mountain Coordinate Systems”. These are the Version 2.0 ‘Rocky Mountain Tribal Transportation Association’ projections as published February 23, 2022. They are NOT the NGS 2022 SPCS projections which have duplicate names and

10. Negative azimuth can now be input as a negative number in the Oblique Mercator projection. Previously you needed to add 360.0 to the negative number and generate a positive angle.

12. Export Format: add ‘Code & Description’ option to combine the Code with the Description in a single non-delimited output value.

13. Averaged point horizontal graph: now supports display of average sets with only one or two groups of points. Previously 3 or more were required for horizontal plotting.

14. Support quick modification of the number of acquisition epochs / averaging time from the new button on the survey screen.

1. Changed Observation Time button to make background transparent, allowing the map to be visible behind the button.

3. Add Quick line feature in Line Stakeout. (This is nifty and has been a common request.)

4. Copy Code and Description when importing LandStar Project points from another LandStar8 job.

5. Add a Stakeout Information bubble in Point Stakeout, showing HD (previously only Slope Distance was shown.) This is the right-hand information bubble at the top of the stakeout screen.

Thank you for purchasing and using LandStar8! If you have questions or suggestions, let us know.
