Radiological Mapping
Control Center
Reminder: Please remember to reactivate alerts after deactivation. This feature is crucial for notifying you in situations of elevated radiation levels, ensuring you are alerted to potential harmful effects.
Added support for the RadiaCode-103G model.
Added saving device settings to non-volatile memory. Previously, the device settings made by the user were stored in RAM, as a result of which they were reset to factory settings when the battery was completely discharged.
To correctly switch to the new method of storing settings it is necessary to wait for the application to reconnect with the device via Bluetooth or USB after the firmware update is completed. If errors occur after updating the firmware, the settings will take their default values, including the values of the calibration coefficients. If you have changed the calibration coefficients yourself, it is recommended to record their values before starting the firmware update in order to restore them manually later.

Fixed [Firmware]: An error when working with Bluetooth that occurred in a number of cases.
Changed [Firmware]: Speaker control mode.
Firmware version 1.15.
Added [Firmware]: Request for confirmation of spectrum reset.
Added [Firmware]: Modifications for the activity measurement mode.
Firmware version 1.14.
Added [Firmware]: Output of operational values of the count rate and dose rate (displayed in gray on the graphs) with the possibility of averaging them for a given time (up to 30 seconds).
Changed [Firmware]: The probability of false alarms on the dose rate caused by the random nature of the measured values is reduced.
Fixed [Firmware]: The scale type (lin/log) of the spectrum was displayed incorrectly after the device was turned on.
Fixed [Firmware]: When updating the firmware of a switched-off device, the current spectrum stored in non-volatile memory was reset.
Fixed [Firmware]: Improved the stability of Bluetooth connection.
The firmware version is 1.12.
Added [Firmware]: Saving the current spectrum to the non-volatile memory of the device when it is turned off and loading the spectrum from this memory when the device is turned on. As a result, when the device is turned off, the spectrum is not lost, but only its accumulation is suspended, and after turning on the device, the accumulation resumes.
Changed [Firmware]: Increased the resolution of the spectrum in the low-energy region.
Firmware version 1.11.
Changed [Firmware]: Improved the stability of Bluetooth communication by increasing the power of the transmitter. At the same time, the consumption of the device increased slightly.
The firmware version is 1.10.
Fixed [Firmware]: Critical error in the device data memory management system. External manifestation: hanging of the device program with its subsequent shutdown; distortion of measurement results; outliers on the graphs of the counting speed and MED; false alarms.
Fixed [Firmware]: Assessment of the battery charge level.
