Changes from version 1.4 to 1.5

Bug Fixes:
 N/A

Feature improvements:

 Improvements have been made for the speed of measurement.

 User interface has been added to the Local Machine Configuration Tool to allow
the user to set the color bar placement, turn on and off the logging function, and to
remove all old log files.
 Manual XY position settings will no longer be turned off for other changes to the

 Communication with the Database has been improved. Most actions in the Press
Tool have been sped up to perform faster when the database contains larger
amounts of data. Reporting speed has also been improved.
 Archiving has been changed to perform more reliably. When setting a date and
time for performing an Archive and Optimize operation, the archive will no
longer be performed directly at that time. When opening the Job Info dialog in
Press Tool after the set date and time have expired, the Archive will be performed
automatically in the background. This will ensure that the Archiving will always
take place and should not hinder the user from continuing with using the
applications. Note that some slowdown may occur while the archive is being
created, but this should not keep the application from functioning correctly.
 8 graphs can now be viewed at one time in the Press Tool. Use the Local
Machine Configuration Tool to set the maximum number of graphs option.
 The Gray Balance graph displayed in the Press Tool has been improved. Each
color of the graph is shown with a density signal for each ink at the bottom of the
graph. Should the tint density of the color be out of tolerance, the signal will be
displayed as red. Also, at the top of the graph, another signal is shown for the
gray balance range. When the tints values are within the defined range, the range
signal will show as green.
New features:

with unique files names containing the date and time of the measurement.
 Jobs and Projects can now be renamed and deleted directly from within the Press
Tool’s Job Info dialog.
 Job ink targets can now be edited by clicking on the values in the ink panel in the
main graph view of the Press Tool and by clicking directly on the values in the
Targets and Tolerances dialog.
 Support has been added for Gracol7(G7) and ISO processes. Talk to your sales
and support representative to find out more.
 A new Sheet Trend Report has been added to the Reporting Tool. This report will
show trend graphs for each selected calculation over the job life cycle.
 Support has been added to allow the scanning of custom charts. See the Press
Tool Options dialog to get started. Scan a custom chart using the Intellitrax
instrument and get an output CGATS text file.
 A new graph view has been added for BestMatch. BestMatch will allow you to
know how good a color match you can achieve between the ink target color and
the inks on press. BestMatch shows the best match Delta E and the solid ink
density corrections that need to be made to achieve that Delta E.
