<p class=MsoTitle>PAMGuard Release Notes</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(Note that the ordering of release notes is now reversed in
this document with the latest version coming first). </p>
<h1><a name="_Toc444450390"></a><a name="_Toc444450026"></a><a
name="_Toc312065297"></a><a name="_Toc312063942"></a>ABOUT PAMGuard</h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>The PAMGUARD project develops software to help detect,
locate and classify marine mammals using Passive Acoustic Monitoring.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>See <a href="http://www.pamguard.org">http://www.pamguard.org</a>
and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pamguard">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pamguard</a>
</p>
<h1><a name="_Toc444450391"></a><a name="_Toc444450027"></a><a
name="_Toc312065298"></a><a name="_Toc312063943"></a>LICENSE</h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>PAMGUARD is free software, and you are welcome to
redistribute and modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
(either version 3 or any later version - <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html</a>).</p>
<h1><a name="_Toc444450028"></a><a name="_Toc444450392"></a>INSTALLATION </h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>The latest version of PAMGuard has been tested on 64 bit
Windows 10. We expect it to work without problems on 64 bit versions of Windows
8 and probably 7.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On Windows, download and run the Windows installer.</p>
<h2>Java Installation (old releases only)</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Releases since 2.01 have all been bundled with a 64 bit Java
Virtual Machine (JVM). These releases will only work on a 64 bit version of
Windows. For these releases you do not need to install any Java versions
yourself. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For older releases, you will need to install a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) version 7 or 8 separately. Since release 1.15.00 (February 2016)
both 32 and 64 bit JVMs are supported. Since release 1.15.08 the installer
allows you to select whether to install the 64 bit version or the 32 bit
version. The 64 bit JVM allows access to more memory than the 32 bit version
which can be useful when working with many channels or at high sample rates.
You may download Java from the Java website: <a
href="https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp</a></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note that the interface to Microsoft Access databases is not
supported in the 64 bit version or when using a 32 bit Java 8. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is absolutely fine to run a 32 bit PAMGuard and a 32 bit
JVM on a 64 bit computer. It is also fine to have both 32 bit and 64 bit
versions of both Java and PAMGuard installed on the same machine. <a
name="_Toc312065327"></a><a name="_Toc312063970"></a>The same .psf
configuration files will work with both 32 and 64 bit versions. </p>
<h1><a name="_Toc444450029"></a><a name="_Toc444450393"></a>STARTING PAMGUARD</h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>On Windows, the installers will create shortcuts in the
Windows Start menu.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In a Windows operating system you may want to set the
preferences for the launchers (and/or the shortcuts to them) to state that they
should always be run under Administrator privileges. These are required if you
want PAMGUARD to be able to perform actions such as using the GPS time to set
the system clock. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If using other operating systems such as Linux or Mac OS X
you should be able to launch PAMGUARD via an appropriate command line which
should be something like:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>java
-Xms384m -Xmx1024m -Djava.library.path=lib64 -jar PamguardBeta_xxxxxx.jar</span></em></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The -Xms384m -Xmx1024m specify the initial and maximum heap
size for the JVM being used to run Pamguard i.e. how much memory it gets to
use. The default max size usually being too low.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The -Djava.library.path=lib64 tells the JVM that it should
look in the folder called "lib64" for the required shared libraries
(change to <em><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>lib</span></em>
for the 32 bit version).</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For "Mixed" and "Viewer" modes just add
a "-m" or "-v" to the list of java arguments. On Windows
just run the appropriately named executable (e.g. PamguardBeta_MixedMode.exe or
PamguardBeta_ViewerMode.exe):</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>java
-Xms384m -Xmx1024m -Djava.library.path=lib64 -jar PamguardBeta_xxxxxx.jar -v</span></em></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> </span></em></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>If you are upgrading from a PAMGuard core release
(1.15.xx), PAMGuard Version 2 contains major updates. You should read and
understand the notes listed for <a href="#_Latest_Beta_Version_2.00.10">Beta
Version 2.00.10</a> before proceeding with installation and use of this
version.</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This version of PAMGuard has been bundled with Java 16
(OpenJDK release), so you will not need to install a java runtime engine
separately. PSFX files generated in previous beta releases (2.xx.xx) should be
compatible with this version, and vice-versa. PSF files generated in core
releases (1.15.xx) can be loaded in this version, but will be converted to PSFX
files when PAMGuard exits.</p>

<h2>File Format Change</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Changes have been made to the binary file format to support
the output of additional noise outputs for certain detectors (See below).
Binary files created with this version will not be compatible with earlier
versions 2.01.### and below. This version will read and may convert earlier
format binary files.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Bearing and Group 3D localization modules have been
thoroughly tested and a number of bugs rectified. Documentation has been
developed and is available in the online help. Further, a number of example
configurations have been generated, configuration files for these are available
in the PAMGuard downloads area <a
href="http://www.pamguard.org/downloads.php?cat_id=3">here</a>.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Detection Group Localiser</span></b><span
lang=EN-US> </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module has been renamed <20>Detection Grouper<65>, so as to
avoid confusion with the Group 3D localizer. This is because the Detection Grouper
is more for organizing data into groups to be localized than it is for doing
localization.</p>

Noise Level Outputs - as an aid to performance diagnosis, some detectors
(currently the GPL, Click Detector and Whistle and Moan Detector) are
outputting additional noise metrics to their binary output files. These can be
read with the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/pamguard/files/Matlab/">PAMGuard
Matlab library</a> and used to diagnose system performance in varying noise
conditions. Improved displays within PAMGuard for these noise metrics will be
included in a future release. </p>

New features in PAMGuard Beta mean that psf files created with new versions are
not compatible wth earlier versions and all configuration data may be lost if
an attempt is made to open newly created psf files with older versions. We have
therefore changed the file extension of psf files to .psfx in new Beta
releases. Beta releases will still load the older psf files, but when the
configuration is saved, the original psf file will remain untouched and data
will be written to a psfx file with the same directory and name.</p>

<h1><a name="_Latest_Beta_Version_2.00.10"></a><span lang=EN-US>Beta Version
2.00.10 June 2017</span></h1>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PAMGuard Version 2 contains major updates.
You should read and understand these notes before proceeding with installation
and use of this version. These changes have been funded under contract to NOAA
Fisheries, contract no. WE-133F-16-SE-1126.</span></p>
<h3><span lang=EN-US>Binary File Structural Changes</span></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The Binary File structure has changed to
accommodate additional information for each unit of data stored. This means
that any data generated with PAMGuard Version 2.00.00 and above will not be
compatible with older versions of PAMGuard. If you open older data sets with
the PAMGuard Viewer the older data will be converted to the new format (see
below for details).</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The most significant change in the binary
file format is the addition of a Unique Data Identifier (UID) to each unit of
data. This is intended to aid in offline analysis by making it easier for the
user to link what they are seeing on different PAMGuard displays and also to
link with any data post processed in Matlab or other custom analysis software.
UID<49>s are also added to PAMGuard database tables. </span></p>
<h4><span lang=EN-US>Converting Old Data</span></h4>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If old data are opened with the PAMGuard
viewer they will automatically be converted. For safety, the original binary
files will not be overwritten and the new data will be placed in a new folder
on your computer with the same path as the old data, but suffixed with
<0A>_WithUID<49>, e.g. if your binary data were previously stored in the folder
C:\MySurvey\binarydata the new data will be written to
C:\MySurvey\binarydata_WithUID. </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The additional UID column will be added to
all database tables and populated with unique values. For data which are stored
in both the binary files and in database tables, the same UID<49>s will be used in
both data stores. </span></p>
<h3><span lang=EN-US>New Displays</span></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A new time based scrolling display has been
added to PAMGuard which can display multiple types of data on the same time
axis. It can for instance be used to display bearings to whistles on a
bearing-time type display similar to that commonly used in the click detector.
Composite display graphs containing data from more than one detector are also
possible. For details, see the PAMGuard help file (Displays / Time Display FX).
Note that this display is only available if you are running Java 8 or later. </span></p>
<h3><span lang=EN-US>Event Marking and the Detection Group Localiser</span></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A new system of event marking which can be
used both online and offline has been added to PAMGuard. Details are in the
PAMGuard help file (Displays/Display Marking). Data can be selected on the Map,
the Spectrogram Display and the new Time Display FX in a similar way and sent
to other PAMGuard modules. The new marking and data selection system works with
the new Detection Group Localiser. The Detection Group Localiser extends the
functionality which always existed in the click detector to other types of data
(e.g. Whistles) so that they can be grouped and tracked using target motion
analysis in a similar way. Details of the Detection Group Localiser are in the
PAMGuard help files (Localisation/Detection Group Localiser).</span></p>
<h3><span lang=EN-US>Display Colours</span></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A new system for handling display colours
has been implemented across all PAMGuard displays. This gives greater
flexibility to the user to control how data units are shown. For instance, you
might simply want to show clicks in blue and whistles in green. However, for
clicks and whistles that have been assigned to a Detection Group, you may want
to colour them by the colour assigned to the group. </span></p>
<h3><span lang=EN-US>Using Old PAMGuard Configurations</span></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Old PAMGuard configurations will work with
the new version. However please note the following:</span></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:54.0pt;text-indent:-36.0pt'><span
lang=EN-US>1.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span><span lang=EN-US>New classes will be added to the configuration files,
so they will no longer work with older PAMGuard versions.</span></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:54.0pt;text-indent:-36.0pt'><span
lang=EN-US>2.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span><span lang=EN-US>Display colour options will be lost and most data
displayed on the map may default to black. This is due to the above changes to
how colours are managed. Changing back to the colours of your choice is
relatively simple through the PAMGuard GUI. </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Plug-Ins</span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A major change in this version of PAMGuard
is how plug-ins are managed. PAMGuard now has the ability to dynamically load
plug-in modules (saved as jar files) at runtime. This will greatly simplify the
process of testing and distributing newly developed modules, since only a small
jar file will be required rather than a new bespoke PAMGuard installation.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Module code development remains largely
unchanged, in most cases simply requiring the addition of an interface class.
Instructions for the development of new modules utilizing the plug-in
scheme can be found <a href="http://www.pamguard.org/16_HowtomakePlug-Ins.html"
target="_blank">here</a>. Plug-in modules can be downloaded from the
PAMGuard website here, but developers are encouraged to host and maintain their
own modules.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Modules of interest to the general PAM
community will remain as part of the core PAMGuard installation. However,
specialized modules which are useful to only a small number of users have been
removed and are available as a separate download. The following modules have
been removed:</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Other Changes</span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The installer has been updated to handle
both 64 bit and 32 bit installations. PAMGuard psf files are now registered in
the Windows Registry, so double-clicking on a psf file should run PAMGuard in
normal mode (as opposed to Viewer or Mixed modes). Note that the Windows
Registry can only hold a single executable reference for psf files; therefore,
for users with multiple installations of PAMGuard, double-clicking on a psf
will run the most-recently installed version of PAMGuard on the system.</span></p>

Bug 303. Some ASIO sound cards not working with either ASIO system in PAMGuard.
For the PAMGuard ASIO system, this was due to a data format used by some sound
cards never being properly implemented. For the <20>New ASIO system<65> which is
based on jAsioHost, the unpacking of that format contained a bug which returned
incorrect numbers, so data were swamped with noise. Both systems are now fixed.
By preference, users should use the PAMGuard ASIO system since the JAsioHost
based system seems to drop samples when many channels are running at high
sample rate. </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Other Features</span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Logger Form Design</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A GUI driven system for designing Logger forms has been
released. Currently, this feature has no online help, but is reasonably
intuitive compared to the old method of typing directly into the database. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US>Improved Number handling</span></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Users have often found that PAMGuard can be
'jumpy', i.e. the spectrogram does not scroll smoothly, but pauses for a second
every few seconds. This is caused by the Java garbage collector cleaning up
unused objects in memory. With 64 bit versions, which allow for more memory,
some of these pauses were becoming quite long (due to the increased amount of
memory that needed to be cleaned up). In some circumstances, these pauses were
making data acquisition systems unstable. We have therefore entirely rewritten
the way in which PAMGuard handles arrays of spectrogram data (complex numbers)
so that instead of large numbers of small Java objects there are now fewer,
larger, simpler java objects. These reduce processing delays for garbage
collection and give an overall speed improvement, but will otherwise not be
noticed by users. </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US>Click Detector RainbowClick file output</span></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This feature has been removed since it has
been obsolete for several years. Users should use the PAMGuard binary storage
system for Click Detector data. </span></p>

2016</span></h1>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug Fixes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A number of bug fixes and code improvements have been made
since V 1.15.03:</p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>1.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 272. File types: Some File Open / File Save dialogs were allowing
selection of all file types. e.g. Save Configuration As, Section of whistle
classifier training file, Map file Selection, These have now been changed so
that only the correct type of file can be selected.</p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>2.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 274. GPS Memory leak. A Memory leak associated with GPS data
collection has been found which could cause PAMGuard to run out of memory after
a day or two's operation. This has now been fixed. </p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>3.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 275. Painting of thumbnail on the Map display time slider. Have
fixed a small problem in the graphical display. The visibility of components on
this slider has also been improved and a log time scale option is available to
facilitate in map data display. </p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>4.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 276. The default hydrophone sensitivity was -201dB re 1V/uPa. This
was supposed to be used with a default preamp gain of 30dB. For some reason
gain was no longer being added. We have therefore set a default sensitivity of
-170dB and left gain at zero. This is more typical of many hydrophones in use
today. </p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>5.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 277. Text fields in classifier dialog were not large enough to
display times greater than 10ms. We have increased length of text fields in the
dialog.</p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>6.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 278. Have future proofed against potential binary file format
changes in future releases. New PAMGuard releases will always be able to open
older binary files, however, with previous PAMGuard releases if a newer file
format was opened, then PAMGuard was unable to check that the file format was
newer and would attempt to read the files and might even corrupt them. Now it
will recognise that it cannot open the files, display appropriate error
messages and not attempt to read the files. NOTE that at this time there are no
planned file format changes and that this is purely a future proofing exercise.</p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>7.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 279. GUI Resizing: The whole PAMGuard GUI would suddenly resize to
something very small when a dialog is opened. This has been traced to improper
use of a common dialog component SourcePanel which tries to repack its parent
Window. Some programmers had inadvertently set it to repack the main PAMGuard
GUI instead. This has been Fixed.</p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt'>8.<span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>
</span>Bug 280. Recorder control option to automatically restart recording were
causing confusion. It was working in that the recorder would return to its
previous state, but it was sometimes difficult for users to set it so that
recording would always start as soon as PAMGuard started. More sensible and
easy to understand options have been developed in a new options dialog.</p>

<h1><a name="_Toc444450401">Version 1.13.00 Beta December 2014</a></h1>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Configuration Changes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Menu Layout</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The PAMGuard menus have been rearranged into a more
intuitive grouping which we believe will help users find functionality more
easily. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'Detection' menu has been renamed to 'Settings' since many
menu items within this menu were not directly to do with 'Detection'.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The groupings within the File / Add Modules menu have been
rearranged so that they are now:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Maps and Mapping</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Utilities</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Sensors</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Displays</p>

Detectors</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Classifiers</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Localisers</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'
Visual Methods</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The '<i>Hydrophone Array</i>' menu item moved from 'File' to
'Settings'</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'<i>Multi Threading</i>' menu item moved from 'Detection'
(now 'Settings') to 'File'</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>'<i>Start</i>' and '<i>Stop</i>' menu items removed.
PAMGuard should be started and stopped using the red and black buttons.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>New Modules</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>DIFAR</i> (Localisation Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, funded by the Australian Antarctic Division
allows the de-multiplexing and calculation of angles from military style DIFAR
sonobuoys. See online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>MEAL Localiser</i> (Localisation Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Jamie Macaulay of St Andrews
University estimates the 3D localisation of clicks using a variety of
algorithms. It's primarily been developed to track harbour porpoise in three
dimensions over scales of 10's of metres. While currently only working with output
from the click detector, we hope eventually to extend its use to whistles as
well. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Accelerometer Readout</i> (Sensors group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, funded by NOAA for the South West Fisheries
Science Centre (SWFSC), measures pitch and roll from analogue accelerometer
sensors in a hydrophone. Data are fed real time into the updated hydrophone
array manager in order that bearings from a tetrahedral tracking array are
correctly calculated in real world coordinates. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Wild ArcGIS Interface</i> (Maps and Mapping group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Michael Oswald / SWFSC, allows
PAMGuard to output data in a format suitable for display in the WILD ArcGIS
marine mammal survey package. See online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Alarms</i> (Utilities Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is a general system of visual and audio alarms
developed by Doug Gillespie for use on a variety of projects. The alarms can be
coupled to any module or detector in PAMGuard. Where appropriate, modules can
control which of their data will cause an alarm action (e.g. in the Click
detector you can set which types of classified click will fire the alarm). See
online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Noise Band Monitor</i> (Sound Processing Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Douglas Gillespie, Measures octave
of third octave noise bands. See online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Filtered Noise Measurement</i> (Sound Processing Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Douglas Gillespie, measures noise
levels in a single frequency band using a variety of filter functions. See
online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Envelope Tracing</i> (Beta Only, Sound Processing Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Douglas Gillespie, traces the
envelope of a stream of audio data. In particular, it can be used to generate
audio output from high frequency data. See online help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Long Term Spectral Average</i> (Sound Processing Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This module, developed by Douglas Gillespie, calculates the
long term spectral average of audio data for a spectrogram display. See online
help for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Echo Detector and Sperm Whale IPI Computation</i> (Beta only,
Sound Measurements Group)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>These two modules, developed by Brian Miller of the
Australian Antarctic Division can be used to estimate the inter pulse interval
of sperm whale clicks. (No help available)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>New Features</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Hydrophone Configuration</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The hydrophone configuration system within PAMGuard has been
substantially rewritten, partly so that it can support multiple remote buoys
(e.g. DIFAR buoys) each of which needs to be localised individually. As a
consequence, the layout of the Array Manager dialog will appear somewhat
different. Details are available in the online help. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>FLAC File Support</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can now read raw audio data direct from FLAC files. <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC">FLAC</a> is a lossless compression algorithm
for audio data. Files, or folders of files are accessed in the same way as WAV
and AIFF files in the Sound Acquisition module. In a future release we also
hope to provide support for writing FLAC files from the sound recorder module. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Sound Recorder Module</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now supports writing 8 and 24 bit as well as 16 bit files.
Also writes data to dated sub folders, starting a new folder each day (UTC).
Also provides additional information on disk space on the main display panel.
Millisecond time is also now included in the output file names. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Datagram Options</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Datagram options in Viewer have been improved so that the
user has to verify the time binning for datagrams the first time the viewer is
run and can also change the time bins from the File menu (See the File/BinaryStore/Datagram
options menu. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Viewer Configuration</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Viewer configuration is now saved into a separate
database table from 'normal' settings so that Viewer can run at same time as
normal operation, but with slightly different display settings. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Spectrogram Display</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A system of sliders for setting the frequency and amplitude
ranges of the spectrogram display has been implemented. Click the grey button
on the top right corner of the spectrogram display ' </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Video Range Module</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The video range module has been modified so that it can
estimate distances based on fixed objects within a picture as well as the
horizon. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Improved Filter Options</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Filter options (used as stand-alone filter modules and also
within many other modules, such as the click detector and the Filtered Noise
Measurement module) have been improved so that the user can specify arbitrarily
shaped Finite Impulse Response filters (see online help for details). </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>Radar Display</i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can now show bearings relative to true North OR the vessel
heading. Also has the option of only showing certain types of click and
whistle.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug Fixes</b></p>

<h2>Version 1.9.00 Beta April 2010</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Channel numbering</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A new internal channel numbering scheme for ASIO sound cards
was released on 8 March in Alpha version 1.8.02. These changes have now been
promoted to this Beta release 1.9.00. These changes were described in an email
to PAMGUARD User, the text of which is repeated here:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Within PAMGUARD, there have been constant problems with
lookup tables relating hardware channel numbers to internal channel numbers.
99.9% of the time, this is not a problem since people are just reading channels
0 and 1 from a normal sound card or a list of channels 0,1,2,3, etc from an
ASIO card or National Instruments card. However, when using the ASIO sound
acquisition system, it is possible to read out hardware channels 2,3,4,5 say
and those numbers would propagate through PAMGUARD and be used by all the
detectors. While this gave some clarity to the displays, it also created
a number of problems since look up tables were constantly required to relate
hardware numbers and software numbers in every PAMGUARD module. Since this type
of channel numbering was only implemented several years into the PAMGUARD
project, it was never fully implemented or well supported by the different
modules which resulted in a number of bugs which could cause confusion as to
which hydrophones were being used during localisation or during calibrated measurement.
The situation tended to only arise with a small number of ASIO sound cards such
as the RME Fireface 400 on which the most useful inputs, the balanced line
inputs, are hardware channels 4,5,6 and 7 on the back of the instrument. (On
the Fireface 800, the balanced line inputs are channels 0 to 7). When using the
National Instruments system, data were always sent into the rest of PAMGUARD
with sequential channel numbering starting at 0. This was required in order to
support multiple NI Daq boards where it is possible to read for example channel
0 and 1 on two different devices, so to uniquely identify channels in the rest
of PAMGUARD, the only rational thing to do was to re-label those channels
0,1,2,3. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There have been other annoyances with the ASIO channel
numbering scheme. For instance, if you had a configuration which worked in real
time using channels 7 and 8 of a sound card, you could not use that same
configuration to analyse wav files, which would always read their data as
channels 0 and 1. Similarly if you switched sound cards, you may have to
reconfigure every detector and several of the displays to handle the changes in
channel numbering. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to work
out a better system for handling channel numbering in PAMGUARD and have decided
that the only practical thing to do is to force all software channel numbering
back to a zero indexed system. i.e. even if you read out hardware channels
3,4,5 and 6, within PAMGUARD, everywhere apart from the Sound acquisition
dialog, you will see them listed as channels 0,1,2 and 3. The
consequences of doing this are mainly very good. Most users will not notice any
changes. For those who need for some reason to read channel numbers not
starting at zero things will be more stable. However, when you go to a new
version with this new feature, it will be necessary to reconfigure all the
modules in any existing configurations. To do this, open the configuration
dialog for each module in turn and select the correct, zero indexed, channel
number. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Other Changes / new features</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PAMGUARD Viewer</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The way in which data are loaded for each module has changed
in the PAMGUARD viewer. In the scroll bar for each display, at the right hand
end, there are buttons for pagingforward, backward and setting page length
options. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Click Detector Bearing Time display</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Older versions used a vertical scroller in the right hand
side of the main bearing time display to control the display length. This has
been removed and replaced by a small control consisting of an edit box and a
spinner (up and down arrows) at the right hand end of the horizontal scroll
bar. The scroll system now also enabled you to scroll back through up to one
minute of data during real time operation. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Whistle and Moan Detector</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bearings are now written to the database.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PAMGUARD Viewer scrolling mechanism has changed. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Each display now has a small control in the right hand end
of a scroll bar or a slider which allows you to page through data. This is only
well implemented for the map, but will be an increasingly important feature as
more displays are set up for offline data viewing in future releases. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Viewer data map</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When using the PAMGUARD viewer an additional panel will be
displayed showing an overview of data quantity (per hour) from the various
database tables connected to PAMGUARD. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Spectrogram Display overlays</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The mechanism behind this has changed. Should not affect
operations, but if you have problems with overlays on the spectrogram, please
notify <a href="mailto:support@pamguard.org">support@pamguard.org</a> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>All display overlays</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now pick up line colours from the Display symbol manager, so
it's possible to set line colours by selecting a symbol with a particular line
colour from the Display menu. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Database</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Default name for the Database module has changed from
"ODBC Database" to just "Database". This will not affect
existing configurations. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sound acquisition</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Changes made for a previous Mac build now incorporated into
main Beta branch. This should allow for basic 2 channel sound acquisition using
Macs. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bug Fixes</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Whistle and Moan Detector </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Was not detecting sounds when noise reduction was performed
in the Whistle Moan Detector, but was OK when noise reduction ran in the FFT
module. This problem has been resolved.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Whistle Classifier</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bug fix in database output. The first species probability
column was setting to zero. This is now fixed</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ishmael Detectors</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Better rendering of detection boxes on spectrogram display
and more meaningful names in spectrogram display menu.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sound acquisition</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When not using NI or AISO cards PAMAGUARD acquires sound
using javax.sound which only supports two channels. Max number of channels now
specified as 2 rather than undefined.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Serial Comms</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A few changes so more through tidying up of resources when a
port is closed. Might prevent a few problems when using a GPS. </p>
<h2>Version 1.8.01 Beta February 2010</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug Fixes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Crashes caused in real time or Mixed Mode if the number of
software channels exceeds the number of hydrophones configured in the array
manager. It is of course illogical to have software channels which are not
assigned to a hydrophone, so rather than entirely prevent PAMGUARD from
crashing I have inserted additional checks into the hydrophone array dialog
which will prevent the user from closing that dialog unless all software
channels are assigned to a hydrophone. </p>

feed into to a maximum likelihood estimate of angles from small 2D or 3D sub
arrays to give two polar angle coordinates. this can be used to resolve left
right ambiguity and is implemented for both the click and the whistle/moan
detectors. As a result, the click detector bearing time display can now be set
to go from -180 to 180 degrees rather than 0 - 180 degrees. In this case,
clicks in the upper half of the bearing display will be to port and clicks in
the right half will be to starboard. As you pass a whale which is to port, the
clicks will move UP the display. In the long term, I hope to turn this display
around so that time is up the screen rather than across. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Bug fix. Channel number checking for ASIO cards changed
during NI support function and will always throw an error in 1.5.00. This has
now been fixed. </p>
<h2>Version 1.5.00 Beta - NI Support</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug Fixes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Decimator was calculating incorrect filter coefficients
(coefficients were based on the output sample rate, not the input sample rate,
so it's likely that actual filtering of data was minimal). This is now rectified.
Ishmael matched filter. Would crash if template file not correctly loaded. Now
issues a warning message to the terminal and does not crash. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Spelling correction on user input form (Sumbit - Submit)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>New Features </b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>National Instruments DAQ support (Windows 32 bit JVM Only)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The National Instruments interface has now been
comprehensively rewritten and is now stable. One or more NI data acquisition
devices can be used to acquire high speed data on multiple channels. See the
PAMGUARD help file for details. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Performance Tests</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A new menu item in the Help menu provides access to some
system performance tests. These are still under development but have been
released to Beta at the earliest opportunity since the development team require
feedback of test results verses performance on a variety of machines before the
tests and the corresponding help files can be finalised.</p>
<h2>Version 1.4.00 Beta June 2009</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>New Features</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Details of new features are documented in the PAMGUARD
online help. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>PAMGUARD Viewer </b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Reloads data from a PAMGUARD output database for viewing</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>PAMGUARD Mixed Mode operation</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Analyses data from wav or AIF file and synchronises it with
GPS data reloaded from a database so that detected sounds may be correctly
localised. Multiple display frames - enables PAMGUARD GUI to be split into
multiple display windows, displayed on multiple monitors if desired. Enables
the operator to simultaneously view the map and the click detector for example,
which is much easier than continually moving between multiple tabs. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Documentation</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The help file pages for the acquisition module have
undergone major revision Minor additions and edits have been made to many other
help pages</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug Fixes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Memory leak caused by Night / Day colour manager now fixed.
This would cause memory leaks when multiple files were being analysed off-line
and would eventually crash PAMGUARD. The way that colours are managed in
PAMGUARD has been rewritten. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some issues with Swing fixed that might have been causing
hang ups on startup especially on Macs/Linux machines</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Some tidying up of events and default ports for serial
devices to improve GPS data collection (particularly for USB-Serial GPS on
Mac/Linux machines)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Click Detector</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Parameters dialog shows correct channel numbers</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Click classifier mean filter option had a computational
error which meant that classifiers using this option would not work. This has
now been fixed. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Sound Recorder</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Level meters are shown for the correct channels (after
channel numbering has been changed). Occasional crash due to synchronisation
problems when multi-threading now fixed.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Whistle Detector</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Correctly triggers recordings when whistle events are
detected</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Sound Playback</b> through ASIO sound cards Will now work
with any selected channels (not just channels 0 and 1)</p>
<h2>Version 1.3.03 Beta March 2009</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bug fix. ASIO sound cards reporting errors if a channel list
that is not 0,1,2 is used. This has been corrected so no false error messages
are sent. </p>
<h2>1.3.02 Beta. February 2009</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>Beta release 1.3.02 is identical to Core release 1.3.00
apart from </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>some modules which are known to be unstable or are new or
under development.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Modules which have only been included in the Beta release
are:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Utilities Group</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Simulator (unstable)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hydrophone Depth Readout (requires further testing and help
file)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sound Processing Group</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Patch Panel (unstable and requires help file)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Seismic Veto (requires help file and minor bug fixing)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Visual Methods Group</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Angle Measurement (requires further testing and help file)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Video Range (requires help file)</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Fixed Landmarks (requires help file) </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Changes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The User Input module (for text entry of information by the
user) has been moved from the Displays sub menu of the Add Modules menu, to
Utilities. This will not affect how existing settings files are loaded. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Multi-screen environments.</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In previous versions, if PAMGUARD was configured in a
multiscreen environment and is then run on a single screen, it was possible
that the display would not appear. PAMGUARD now checks screen dimensions at
start up and ensures that the main display is visible. Consequently, program
start-up takes slightly longer than previously. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Outstanding bugs</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The patch panel is known to crash if output channel numbers from
the patch panel a higher than the highest input channel number of the data
acquisition. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Bug fixes</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Speed up of graphics, particularly regarding large
quantities of gps track data</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>National Instruments cards with names > 20 characters
long are now correctly recognised. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Help File Updates</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The help viewer has been debugged and table of contents,
search and index features now all work as they should.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The layout of the help content has been re-ordered into more
functional groups (as laid out in the PAMGUARD add modules menu). </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Improved help has been added for the following modules:</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Multithreading</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PAMGUARD now processes data in each module in a different
processing thread. This allows PAMGUARD to use both processor cores on dual or
multi core processor machines. However, multithreading may still cause
instability in some modules. An option is therefore accessible from the main
Detection menu to enable and disable multithreading. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>New Modules</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The following new modules have been added to the Beta

<h2>0.4b - 29 December 2006, Significant enhancements</h2>
<p class=MsoNormal>A model manager and profiler, whereby users can add/remove
modules as required. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Modules now include configurable click and whistle detectors
and Ishmael-type detectors and localisers. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Information from above modules can be displayed on
configurable user displays which support real time scrolling spectrograms and
radar displays. Detection and localisation information can be optionally
displayed on the map display.Map enhancements include improved scrolling
whereby the user can click and drag to pan the area. PamGuard can now interface
with MySQL database servers and users can easily select which information is
logged. (This replaces the previous 'flat-file' logging feature). A simulation
module allows virtual vocalising animals to be placed on the map to assist in
training and development. Extensive online user help has been added to PamGuard
Application</p>
