o The Revolution function supports additional measurement ranges up to 600,000 rpm and the 32-bit data format.
o The Counter continuous function supports a new measurement range that also allows negative signs. The Zero Adjustment function has been additionally implemented.
· TEDS memories can be overwritten via File | Reconfigure all/TEDS without applying their contents to the configuration document beforehand. The memory content is only checked during readout in CSMconfig, but is not used for configuration purposes. To this end, the Read TEDS dialog has been adapted accordingly.
· In measurement schemes, the column Device name is now available. As a result, device names can be assigned manually regardless of the serial number of the module.
· If devices or channels are disabled, they can be faded out in the configuration document via View | Only active channels or the corresponding icon in the toolbar. The icon changes its appearance depending on the status of the filter.
· If the determination of adjustment values is based on highly noisy raw data, an adjustment may be made to an instantaneous value that does not correspond to the actual offset value. It is thus possible to enable a temporary forced filter in the Auto-Scale wizard.

· TH evo measurement modules are supported. In combination with specially developed thermocouple plugs with integrated TEDS chips, these modules provide TEDS functionality (Template 36 and channel names).
· The configuration views Tree View, Device List and Channel List are now combined in a higher-level window to form configuration layouts (=> Window | Select view layout). See CSMconfig help for details.
· Certain AD4 pro CAN measurement modules support module-internal functions for zero adjustment and scaling. See CSMconfig help for details.
· All modules of the AD4 ECAT MM series (as of HW rev. B) now support certain module-internal functions for zero adjustment and scaling. See CSMconfig help for details.
· When saving settings to the module, CSMconfig asks whether internal adjustment values should be retained or reset.
· Several other CAN modules support the simultaneous use of the functions Per channel configuration and Info message. Perform a firmware update to do so. A complete module list can be found in the online help on page "Set CAN ID and Send Rate per Channel".
Improvements
· The XCP-Gateway Configuration dialog has been improved:
o PTP support is now enabled directly in the PTP tab.
o The XCP tab has been removed. The corresponding settings can be made directly in the Program Settings dialog.
· Shunt and device temperatures are also available as EtherCAT measurement values for the HV Breakout Modules (HV BM). An XCP-Gateway pro is required to be able to use this function.
· If communication between an HV BM and the shunt module fails, this will no longer affect the rest of the measurement chain.
· If the TEDS mode is set to Not using TEDS, all TEDS chips connected will be ignored.
· If an Auto-Configuration has been performed, CSMconfig displays information on the measurement modules, channels and any connected TEDS chips in a message window.
· If a user-defined display range is configured in the Channel Configuration Dialog, this is no longer displayed as a deviation from the TEDS content for LEM sensor packages.
· Sensor names from a sensor database are now also stored in ECAT modules (AD as of HW-Rev. B and STG). Perform a firmware update to do so.
· The handling of multiple XCP-Gateway modules in Vector CANape has been improved.
Bug Fixes
· When using module-internal adjustment modes, the configuration could not be written to a module if it at the same time contained channel comments.
· If channels were switched off in an AD8 measurement module and then the module-internal adjustment values were written to the module, it could occur that certain values in the unused channels were set to zero.
· When channel comments in the configuration document did not match those stored in the module, they were not correctly listed as deviations in the report.
New Features
· TEDS functionality is now also available for modules of the AD4 ECAT MM Series.
· As a supplement to the sensor database, a signal database, containing channel name and comments, can now be specified. These standard names can be assigned to the corresponding channels.
· The sensor database is now also available in CNT evo measurement modules. The functionality corresponds to the measurement scheme and includes the measured variables frequency and revolution.
· The entries in the sensor database and the new signal database are now selected in a separate dialog providing a filtering function (e.g. sensor and channel name).
· CSMconfig can now monitor the calibration date of the connected devices. The calibration date monitoring can be specified in the Program Settings dialog.
· During bus scan CSMconfig now automatically checks whether there are firmware updates available for the modules. This function has to be enabled in the "Program Settings" dialog first.
· It is now possible to disable channels on ECAT and CAN modules connected to an XCP-Gateway.
· The sequence of U and I channels can be changed in the HV Breakout Modules. As a result, it is now now possible to measure current only. At the same time, bandwidth can be saved if the voltage measurement is not required.
· The measurement modules ECM LambdaCANc (in 16-bit mode) and CSMpressure can now be used at the CAN interfaces of an XCP-Gateway +CAN.
Improvements
· Sensor and signal database can be accessed from both the Channel List and the Channel Configuration Dialog.
· If the measurement scheme requires a measurement range that is not available in the AD measurement module used, CSMconfig can automatically set the next larger measurement range and output a corresponding message. This adaption of the settings to device limitations has to be enabled in the "Program settings" dialog.
· To speed up the interface search for XCP-Gateways, this process can be limited to specific networks. To this aim, a positive list of NIC IPs (NIC IP whitelist) can be added in the Program Settings dialog. If a whitelist has been set, a corresponding message will be displayed in the Interface dialog.
· In the DBC file, the measurement data rate has now been assigned its own attributes. A DAQ software can analyze these to monitor the regular reception of the CAN messages (and thus the measurement data) sent by the CSM measurement modules.
· The designation of the ECAT device types has been adapted to the actual module names and series. This eases the selection of the correct device type for offline configuration. The device names have been modified accordingly.
· The icons in the toolbar and menus have been completely redesigned for more intuitive operation.
Bug Fixes
· Pressing the Enter key opens the Channel Configuration Dialog in the Channel List view and the Device Configuration Dialog in the Device List view. The previous action (edit cell contents) can now be executed by pressing Shift + Enter.
· In the case of ECM NOxCAN modules, the symbol for enabled channels was still displayed for disabled channels. This has now been fixed.
Bug Fixes
· Bridge balancing of an ECAT STGMM could reset the module to factory settings under certain circumstances. This behavior is now fixed.
New Features
· Support of the new high-voltage Breakout Module HV BM 3.1.
· Certain supported ECAT modules allow the number of channels to be specified to reduce bus load and hide unused channels in the DAQ software.
· Specific AD8 pro measurement modules now provide additional module-internal functions for zero adjustment and scaling. These are very comprehensive features. See CSMconfig help for details.
· PT evo measurement modules now also allow channel comments to be stored.
· Measurement modules TH16 pro and CNT evo now support CAN bitrate 2 Mbit/s.
· A firmware update allows the use of the function "Configuration per channel" for the following new measurement modules:

o ADMM 4 pro HS / AD4 pro MC10 (as of revision F)
Improvements:
· Import and export of measurement schemes:
o Support of measurement module PT8 evo.
o Support of measurement module HV IEPE3 FL1000.
o Support of CNT measurement modules has been extended.
o Serial numbers of currently connected measurement modules are read in during measurement scheme import. These numbers can then be mapped to the corresponding modules in the measurement scheme. This function must first be enabled in the Program Settings dialog.
o Measurement schemes contain new columns for Info Message and Device Number.
· When specifying the number of measurement channels for HV Breakout Modules, the corresponding measured quantities are now displayed.
· With the HV BM 3.1, the info message can also be activated when using the "per channel configuration" function. A CAN ID needs to be specified for the info message in order to make use of that feature.
· Selected info message signals (e.g. shunt temperature of HV Breakout Modules) can be included in the A2L file if the CAN modules are connected via an XCP-Gateway.
· As before, the number format for the display of the CAN IDs is by default hexadecimal. The Program Settings dialog provides a setting option to change the format to decimal if required. Changing the display mode will apply to the entire user interface and the HTML reports generated.
Bug Fixes
· The driver library for ETAS BOA interfaces works properly again.
· The CSMcan interface can be used properly again in vMeasure CSM.
· The import of a measurement scheme via vMeasure CSM could cause the program to crash. This has been fixed.
New Features
· The new HV Breakout Modules (HV BM 1.1 and HV BM 1.2) are supported.
See page Modules: Using HV Breakout Modules in the online help file for information
on the configuration of these modules.
· Support of HV IEPE3 FL1000 measurement module.
· Support of CSMpressure pressure sensors.
· XCP standard V1.4, which has been supported in CSMconfig for some time, can now also be used in CANape 16 (as of SP4). This standard is required to operate multiple ECAT measurement modules using different measurement data rates >10 kHz simultaneously. It is no longer necessary to set the same measurement data rate for all modules.
· In CSMconfig, various universal cables with integrated TEDS chip (K642 and K833) can be used with STGMM measurement modules for the individual configuration of half and full bridges.
· The channel comment feature is now supported by all high-voltage measurement modules.
· Checking for a new program version is available as an entry in the Help menu.
· Support of the function Per channel configuration has been extended to further modules. Suitable firmware updates are now available for the modules listed below and included in CSMconfig:
o ADMM 8 pro (Rev. E)
o THMM 16 pro (Rev. D)
o THMM 8 pro (Rev. G)
o THMM 8 pro (Rev. H)
A complete list of all supported modules can be found in the online help file on page Setting of CAN ID and send rate per channel.
· Vector ETH interfaces support via Vector DAQ software (e.g. CANape 16 as of SP4) has been extended.
Improvements
· If the automatic TEDS mode is used, CSMconfig now detects a TEDS which has been connected to a wrong input. If the serial number of the connected TEDS chip does not match the one stored in the configuration document, the symbol of the corresponding measurement channel is displayed in red. This also causes an error message in the Vector DAQ software and prevents measurements with incorrectly plugged sensors. The TEDS mode can be selected in the Program Settings dialog.
· Columns in list views are now sorted correctly according to the data content. This means, for example, that columns containing numeric values are now sorted strictly numerically.
· Measurement modules and channels can now be enabled and disabled directly by using the "Active" column in the Device and Channel list. The user can also select multiple modules and channels simultaneously.
· The module-internal zero adjustment can be called up in the Channel Configuration Dialog via the new button "Zero Adjust.". This button is only available if the function is supported by the connected measurement module. In order to make use of this feature, the option "Allow module internal zero adjustment" has to be enabled beforehand in the Program Settings dialog.
· CSMconfig now provides the means to insert scaling texts into A2L files. This option must be enabled in the "Program settings" dialog if required.
· Template files are now backward-compatible. Measurement modules that are not yet supported in the CSMconfig version currently used are ignored.
Bug Fixes
· OUTMM modules can now be properly operated again when using the CAN interfaces of an XCP-Gateway +CAN.
· When loading a DBC file, it could occur that the two-point scaling of CNT MiniModules was not correctly read out. That error has been fixed.
· When using the Motorola format and the option Per channel configuration" at the same time, the start bit of the CAN message is now correctly specified.
· If the XCP compatibility is set high in the program settings, PTP is no longer automatically activated in the XCP-Gateway.
· Under particular circumstances, deleting modules from a configuration document could cause the program to crash. This has now been fixed.
Improvements
· CSMconfig creates a full data backup before performing a firmware update. This ensures that all information stored in the module (e.g. for CAN modules also the date of the last calibration) is kept reliably.
New Features
· CSMconfig provides options to define module- and program-specific defaults and to save them in template files.
· For configuration documents: Default settings can be defined separately according to document type (*.DBC/A2L) for every module type (e.g. name pattern).
· For program-specific settings: Program settings can be defined according to user-specific requirements and saved in a template file (*.creg).
These default settings can be used as templates for installation on multiple computers (e.g. for a company-wide installation of CSMconfig) and can be transferred to all computers simultaneously.
· As of firmware version 8.3, the output of specific measured quantities in 16-bit format is supported by ECM LambdaCANc. A mixed operation mode, i.e. the output of 16- and 32-bit values is possible.
· At each program start, CSMconfig checks whether a new program version is available. This procedure can be configured and switched off.
· Saving documents in the old DBC file format (i.e. older than CSMconfig V8.5.0) is no longer supported.
· The option Write Name to TEDS has been added to the Channel Configuration Dialog. To use this option, it first needs to be enabled in the Program Settings dialog (Allow adding channel name to TEDS).
· CSMview V2.0.0 is an integral part of the installation package and is by default installed along with CSMconfig. This program version also supports ECAT and CAN measurement modules connected via an XCP-Gateway.
· Vector Ethernet interface VX0312 is supported.
Improvements
· The icons for modules and channels have been redesigned for better usability. Especially the status indication for TEDS sensors has been improved.
· The Temperature Coefficients tab in the Channel Configuration Dialog for PTMM modules has been revised and made clearer.
· The XCP-Gateway Configuration dialog has been enhanced. It now also displays the NIC mask of the network interface used. By pressing the button Adjust IP to my NIC, the valid IP settings of the NIC configuration can be read out.
· CAN measurement modules can be operated at a maximum measurement data rate of 1 kHz via an XCP-Gateway +CAN. Higher measurement data rates are no longer provided for configuration. Until now, only an error message was displayed, when saving the configuration.
· As for STGMM modules, the setting of the filter is now also taken from the TEDS.
· When trying to open another instance of CSMconfig, the current window will appear in the foreground.
· In order to speed up the program installation, the setup now automatically detects software packages already installed on the system.
· A channel list is no longer created all over again when activating previously disabled measurement channels. Only the lines required will be re-written.
Bug Fixes
· Stored column layouts are migrated to new program versions complete and unchanged.
· The device list is now also updated when duplicating modules (copy and paste) in Tree View mode.
· The Tree View of a configuration document will be updated if multiple lines of a channel list have been selected and modified.
· For some CAN measurement modules, CAN ID and measurement data rate can be specified per channel (option Per channel configuration). This also works correctly now for CAN measurement modules connected via an XCP-Gateway +CAN.
· In the Device Configuration Dialog, a change in the number of channels used to overwrite a changed measurement data rate if the latter had not been previously saved. This error has now been fixed.
· CSMconfig verifies the calibration date stored in the TEDS. The program settings provide an option to define, how many days before the calibration expires a warning alert will be displayed. Negative values are no longer permitted.
· The text input fields only allow characters matching the language settings of the computer.
· CSMconfig will reliably detect if changes have been made in the XCP-Gateway Configuration dialog and written to the device. The configuration document can be saved again.
· Some dialogs will close automatically after a pre-defined period of time. As long as such a dialog is visible in the foreground, no changes can be made in other program components currently located in the background.
· Buttons in tables (e.g. channel lists) are no longer obscured by tooltips.
· The XCP-compatibility for Vector CANape 15 now corresponds to XCP 1.3.
Improvements
· If the busload is exceeded during the configuration of an ECAT measurement chain or an individual ECAT module, a warning message will be displayed. This helps to detect and avoid overload configurations.
· The busload of an ECAT measurement chain is now displayed in the report of a configuration document. The figure is displayed below the XCP-Gateway entry in percent relative to the permitted maximum.
· Measurement schemes using the CAN identifier 0 can now be imported.
Bug Fixes
· A bus load issue concerning the CAN ports of the XCP-Gateway has been fixed.
· An uncritical syntax error which occurred in newly created A2L files when a sensor database was used has been fixed.
· The property Device Number is not supported by ECAT STGMM modules. The corresponding field in the Device Configuration Dialog therefore appears greyed out now.
· When using TEDS sensors on ADMM modules, a deviating configuration is highlighted in color now. This now also works correctly for the property Range in the Channel Configuration Dialog.
· When using TEDS sensors on ADMM modules, it could occur in exceptional cases that specific measurement ranges were not correctly read out from a TEDS and transferred to the channel settings. The error has been fixed.
· The standard filter in ECAT modules is now correctly displayed when the measurement data rates 500 kHz and 1 MHz are used.
· When using a sensor database, specific window sizes of the views (especially Channel list) could cause the program to seem to freeze when opening individual dialogs. The error has been fixed.
Bug-Fixes
· HV AD4 ECAT MM series supports all specified measurement data rates.
· Bridge balancing of STGMM works correctly even when using sensor cables with integrated TEDS chip.
· Measuring unit from the TEDS chip of the quarter bridge extension cable (K356) for STGMM is being read correctly.
· With ECAT ADMM HS (hardware revision Axxx) scaling values (factor/offset) are correctly written to and read out from the device (internal calibration data are handled correctly).
Notes
· If several parameters in the device dialog of a module are changed simultaneously, malfunctions may occur. In this case the module should be restarted and the settings should be made or written one after the other.
· Filter settings read from a TEDS connected to STGMM (1/4 CSM) will be applied only if the parameters are compatible with the rate setting of the module. Otherwise, the default filter is used.
· The detection of changes on connected TEDS sensors works delayed on most modules. This can result in a TEDS change not being properly updated in the GUI. In this case repeat the bus scan at a time interval (>10s) or restart the module.
Bug-Fixes
· Some new program options from V8.7.0 were not correctly saved.
New Features
· TEDS functionality for CAN-based ADMM modules. With TEDS-capable ADMM modules, channel configuration data can now be transferred from the TEDS to the channel configuration.
