Also corrected the user message in case of a mismatch. modification Warning messages in StationConfigurator "Check Connections" turn the matching instrument line yellow. modification Improved formatting of summary table in exported HTML results. Entries in the result column are now color coded. modification HTML reports are now generated as a single file. Styles, scripts and images are embedded in that file. modification UI changes of helper window explaining the meaning of sequencer icons. Context menu entry is now called "Show State Details..." modification More detailed information of instruments used to execute specific calibrations or tests are provided during the execution and in the results windows (right-click on results - select "Show Results"). modification The instrument summary table in workbook export has been improved. Previously, the instruments that were connected at the time of the export were shown in the table. From now on instruments that were connected during the execution of specific calibrations or tests are displayed. If calibrations or tests were run with a previous version of the software, the instrument table will be empty. modification A new status indicator for the maintenance exists in the ValiFrame main window. The indicator is yellow 90 days before maintenance contract ends. If the maintenance contract has expired, the indicator will be red. More information is visible in the ValiFrame About window. modification The ValiFrame About window shows the product information and not the features. This makes it easier to identify which products are installed or need maintenance renewal on your machine. modification Improved the handling of licenses that are installed on different containers on the same machine. bugfix UXR support was not complete at legacy data rates. bugfix In rare cases, the HF jitter budget could be exceeded because PJ was not properly reset to 0. bugfix Instrument information was missing in the compliance test report. bugfix Selection of the aggressor pattern in the GUI was sometimes blocked. bugfix Starting value in the CMI calibration was sometimes too low. bugfix No differentiation was made between fixture types in the UHBR long channel calibrations. bugfix Luxshare fixture were not handled correctly when loading a vfp file. bugfix RJ (pk-pk) was not calculated correctly from the measured RJ (RMS) due to the use of the wrong crestfactor. bugfix End of the symbol lock step during link training was not indicated properly to the DUT. bugfix RBR compliance test was dependent on a TJ calibration that did exist. bugfix TJ calibration was not properly taken into account in dependent calibrations and tests. bugfix Eye height calibration for HBR@TP3 failed due to wrong scope settings. bugfix Show the warning for smaller differential output amplitude only if the BERT is connected and online. bugfix Reset the connection string to display the connection diagram at each new sequencer start. bugfix Calibrated values were not used or displayed if they did not exist when running ValiFrame for the first time. bugfix UHBR data rates could be selected in Configure DUT without having M8062A module in the BERT. bugfix Exporting reports to Excel failed on some PCs. bugfix The BER value was configured wrong in EzJit+. bugfix De-embedding option was not available in some configurations. bugfix Fixed exception when exporting to Excel. bugfix The ValiFrame main window was not closing properly when report subwindows were open. bugfix The OK button in the critical error window was unreachable due to incorrect scaling on high DPI machines. bugfix The ValiFrame Remote Interface was reporting an InvalidProgramException while ending the application. bugfix Sheets in exported result workbooks were in the wrong order if the target format was an Excel file. bugfix Expiration dates for demo licenses were not displayed in the ValiFrame About window and in the logfile. bugfix When a calibration procedure failed or was aborted, calibration table properties and values could be corrupted for the rest of the program runtime.
