Release Notes Version 9.2
Release Date: June 2017
Vid106 Client Network Interface
This document was reviewed on 2023.08.16 and does not contain technical data.
- IADS capability with Windows 10.
- IADS embedded Acra Vid106 video will require you to install LAV Filters https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases.
- Matlab 64 bit mex function dlls are now provided in the “C:\Program Files\IADS\MatlabExtension” directory. Users upgrading to 64 bit systems in the previous version of IADS were failing due to the missing Matlab ‘Path’.
- Changed “L3 MFT800 Vista” data source option in the Start Wizard to “L3 MFT Vista”.
- Logic to find Lumistar LS50 DLL has changed. Installed directory is looked for first and then the PATH environment variable is consulted. If those fail, the process is stopped with an error. Also, the IADS install no longer contains any version of this DLL.
- New consolidated IADS Programming Guide included with the IADS installation at “C:\Program Files (x86)\IADS\Documentation”; replaces the individual tutorials that were included in previous versions.

| IADS DATA PROCESSING | |
| New Features | |
| 12187 | Support for SAMDEC8 via SAMDEC7 interface. |

| 12355 | Non-multi-cast UDP data sources no longer need a NIC assignment. |
| 12430 | Support now included for Curtiss-Wright (Acra) UBM card. |
| 12431 | Support now included for Curtiss-Wright (Acra) PBM card. |
| 12444 | Instrumentation list for Chapter 10 sources now allows you to use shift and control keys to select multiple files in the list. |
| 12466 | Support for IENA and iNetX embedded in a Chapter 10 Ethernet channel. |
| 12511 | Support included for Heim Chapter10 H.264 video and audio. |
| 12514 | Elevated privileges no longer necessary to run IadsTpp plugins. |
| 12599 | Transport stream files automatically created now for H.264 video via IadsTpp. |
| 12626 | New Matlab mex function “iadswrite” to write data to the IADS Server in real time. |
| 12704 | iNetXPlugins.ARINCPlugin now adds bus ID to final data word so that multiple ARINC busses can be muxed together (Arg6 – The ID instrumentation has given this bus; must match whatever number convention it uses. Default = match to any). |
| 12705 | At the request of Curtiss-Wright, the prefix for all stream names has been changed from “IENA_” to “Pckt_”. This will impact any parameters automatically generated by IadsTpp like sequence numbers and plugin parameters. |
| 12789 | For the Acra ARINC plugin, the composite bus channels will each get a separate parameter. Parameter names will be PacketName_ChXX_Block, where XX = the 0- based channel number. |
| Bug Fixes | |
| 12250 | Duplicate parameters getting appended incorrectly to the config file during validation when using config append/purge modes. |

| 12561 | VID106 processing crashed due to bad data. |
| 12604 | When Acra NETREC loses power, packets can become corrupted. So if packet size is unreasonable Acra PCAP file processing will stop. |
| 12636 | Child parameters of Alenia PDF files that are signed do not come out properly. |
| 12647 | The initial data call to the SAMDEC decom can be quite lengthy so the client launch for GSWorks/kQuicklook will be delayed until after it returns. This should prevent the client display from coming up without data. |
| 12730 | Red X appearing on displays that use the IadsBus custom function with aperiodic parameters. |
| 12733 | Acra plugin software was ignoring network interface card (NIC) selection from IADS start wizard. |
