Full Patch Notes for EmStat Pico Firmware Update 1.3

  • Bugfix: i2c_write and i2c_read incorrect reference to var a
  • Added support for Sensit BT onboard measurement storage
  • Changed filesystem for EmStat Pico’s using SD cards for storage to custom filesystem from FAT32
  • Improved support for various different SD cards
  • PAD and LSV had a 12.5% acquisition fraction, adjusted to 25% to be consistent with other PalmSens devices and techniques
  • Made acquisition fraction configurable through MethodSCRIPT
  • Reduced overhead of all techniques by 1/8th of the technique interval
  • Improved current ranging during EIS when a DC potential is applied
  • Added VT_TEMPERATURE to MethodSCRIPT, allowing to sample the internal uC temperature sensor
  • Replaced set_cr with set_range MethodSCRIPT command which accepts any Variable Type (set_cr deprecated but still available)
  • Replaced set_pot_range with set_range_minmax MethodSCRIPT command which accepts any Variable Type (set_pot_range deprecated but still available)
  • Added Variable Type to MethodSCRIPT set_autoranging command (old version deprecated but still available)
  • Updated version command with 2 extra digits representing “patch”
  • Added fail-safe communication mode with CRC
  • Added command to limit UART output data rate to help prevent buffer overflows on the host
  • Reduced short circuit current of low power mode to max 20 mA
  • Added fs_put command to store files (text only)
  • fs_* commands that return data now respond with an ack ‘\n’ before returning data.
  • Fixed CV did not save all output to file when file storage was enabled
  • Fixed CV skipped the last point of the last scan
  • Added (un)lockable protection for Non-Volatile-Memory
  • Fixed timing of the first point in time-based measurements
  • Added sleep when the device is idle to save power
  • Added CRC to verify MethodSCRIPT stored in Non-Volatile-Memory
  • Improved technique validation for NPV/DPV
  • Added bitwise operator functions to MethodSCRIPT
  • Added cast to/from float/int functions to MethodSCRIPT
  • Fixed unintended delay between I2C transfers
  • Added 5-second timeout to commands
  • Fixed reported potential of SWV did not conform with theory
  • Made EIS respond more quickly to an abort command
  • Replaced “cali” command with register
