[awj223]

Details of the 5.1.4 update: (10/08/15)

Control Box Firmware update: Release 5.1.4/6.4

1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (USB, GPS etc.).
2. Algorithm tuned for better support of some LIDARs.
3. New Option in yellow menu is available (Yellow-9) “Performance Tests”. This Option will open a sub-menu for all performance tests available in the ALP. Option is available only if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
4. New Performance Test has been added “Lap Time” (Yellow-9). This will temporary turn your ALP system into a GPS Lap Time stopwatch and measure your vehicles time over a full lap. Time in minutes and seconds is given as a result. Mode only works if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
5. Improved filtering against foreign LCC equipped cars (Volvo, Infinity, VW, Honda, Mazda,…). LCC cars especially behind you will no longer start a false alert
6. Option Manual Sensors Check (Yellow-6) will perform memorize sensors similarly like the Restore Defaults option but without the defaulting your settings.

The main site to regenerate the configuration files (which I always like to do when a new FW is released to make sure I'm not missing any new features) appears to have a sort of bug. When you load a current version of the configuration file (with all of the options that currently exist in the system), it will happily generate a new setup.alp file for you. But if you load an older setup.alp with the intention of taking all of your old features, selecting your desired configuration on anything new, and generating a new setup.alp, then after you click "Save & Download", it goes back to the firmware setup page instead of the page to download the newly generated setup.alp file. Therefore, to generate a new setup.alp file, I had to load the old configuration in one browser tab, start selecting the options in a second browser tab, and switch between the two tabs to make sure that both of them were configured the same.
