Manual
In version 1.0.5.0 there is a problem after the first installation that requires another version. An error occurred while opening the PDF manual externally due to the incorrect file path, as the package version has its own virtual path. The sample files are loaded because they are opened internally by the app. Therefore, the user’s document folder is now used to store the manual. In a later version, the instructions will be displayed directly in the application.

Manual
The PDF manual is now available as embedded file directly by status bar button.
Examples
Example files are available in the menu by button in status bar. They will be loaded automatically in the compatible frame window as new file. Do not use the temp files directly because they will be overwritten by next loading.
Recent files
In frame windows the last file will be loaded automatically if it was open by last closing. This behavior can now be disabled in file menu.
Internet connection
Until the last version, there was a button for a direct internet connection to the application website. This button is no longer present in the status bar. All information is now contained in the PDF manual.

Bug fixes
The File Open menu had the wrong icon when loading a new file. After the scaling update, the button indentations were lost. Possible exception in the track bar of the ECU value list window when importing the first scan.
Development
ELM327 <> This adapter is now compatible, tested with APOS BT OBD 327. Older versions may be also used with or without Bluetooth. Connecting with ELM the following commands are running: ATE0, ATL0, ATS0, ATH1, ATD0, 0100, ATDPN. To allow for special ELM settings, no initialization is performed. If you encounter problems, be sure to reset the ELM to default values first.
Console <> The command ‘port names’ is shorted to ‘ports’. The commands ‘port open’ and ‘port close’ are shorted to ‘open’ and ‘close’. In ECU mode it is now also possible to enter ASCII text. The command ‘query [SID] [PID] [OPT]’ runs therefore directly as HEX text in ECU mode. The ELM AT commands are only executed in text mode to avoid errors in ECU mode. The key repeats the last function in ECU and text mode with or without ELM. The text color in ECU mode is now copper, while in text mode it remains cyan.
Download <> New file Sample_OBD2.console used in ECU mode or with ELM.

Due to monitors with higher DPI values and resolutions, Windows DPI-based scaling is now integrated. If the windows are displayed too large, scaling can also be turned off in the settings.
