CRVWx Firmware

v4.04

Current version of the CRVWx firmware.  Requires the Device Configuration Utility to upload the firmware to the CRVWx.

Revision History

v4.04May 9, 2023
  • Added support for the RF452.
v4.03November 9, 2017
  • Updated Digi radio system timer rollover management to ensure that the radio continues to run after a ticker rollover.
  • Updated measurement to timeout and retry if direct memory access fails.
  • Fixed a system timer rollover issue that could cause tasks to not wakeup. This could also cause restarts and/or watchdogs in the device.
v4.0June 14, 2017
  • Fixed a memcopy (internal) issue which would cause the device to lockup if more than 2 channels were active with engineering unit conversion options enabled. This issue caused the device to lockup and become unrecoverable in the field which would require a factory repair to fix.
  • Fixed an issue with PakBus that would cause the device to go into an infinite loop.
v3.0December 23, 2016
  • Added radio on/off intervals which are controlled via device settings. The "Radio Power Schedule" tab now appears in DevConfig.
  • Improved thermistor resolution. PCA Revision 9 devices have a greater resolution improvement than the improvement to devices with a PCA revisions less than 9 (revision is shown in the Status table).
  • Added support for the CRVW3-RF407 device.
  • Added the ability to synchronize the CRVW3 Clock from another datalogger. The CRVW3 responds to a ClockReport instruction sent from a device with *any* PakBus address.
  • Modified the operating system to allow PakBus addresses greater than 3999 up to 4094 (1 through 4094).
  • Fixed the operating system so that factory baseline values now initialize into public variables properly.
  • Added stability improvements to avoid lockout problems and settings configuration via radio.
  • Added fixes to improve USB stability.
  • Added stability improvements to avoid lockout problems and settings configuration via radio
v2.01December 16, 2015
  • This operating system (version 2.01 or newer) is required for all CRVW3 devices with serial numbers 1126 or greater. It is recommended that devices with serial numbers of 1125 or less be upgraded to this version when maintenance opportunities occur.
  • An orange blink now shows on the RX/TX (radio) LED when no carrier is detected (e.g., when the master or repeater radio is not found by a slave device that uses the -RF451 option). This blink works on devices with serial numbers 1126 or greater.
  • The terminal command "SHOW RADIO STATUS" was added.
  • The terminal command "SET RADIO TIMEOUT xxxx" was added, where xxxx is an interval in seconds between 1800 (30 minutes) and 172,800 (48 hours). If the CRVW3 fails to receive radio signals for an entire duration of the timeout period, then the radio will be restarted to facilitate improved communications. If no radio reception occurs after the restart triggered by this timeout, then the radio will continue to be reset every 5 minutes until radio communications are resumed. As long as communications occur within the timeout interval, no resets will occur. The timing and number of resets that have been executed can be found using the "SHOW RADIO STATUS" terminal command. The process which resets the radio has also been improved. Storage optimizations were implemented to reduce power consumption.
  • Improvements were made to stabilize the sending and loading of the operating system to a device via radio (LoggerNet File Control).
  • Calibration data now remains unaffected when the measurement interval is changed.
  • Pakbus discovery via radio can now occur immediately after the USB cable is removed instead of being delayed for up to 10 minutes.
  • Other optimizations relating to USB communications, the application of settings, and internal task processing were implemented.
