What's In It?

Fixes

• Users are allowed to type spaces for Destination names, but this caused problems for the Critical Command Prompt dialog and TReK destinations (sub node connecting to command node). The problem is now fixed and users may have spaces in destination names.

• The default IP address in TReK dialog boxes would sometimes default to the loopback address. The problem is now fixed and the default will be the first network IP address found on the computer.

• The Visual Basic tutorials contain minor updates.

• The trek_user_api.bas and trek_user_api.vb files contained hard coded paths for the Windows system directory.

• The Telemetry Database and Command Database applications would produce an error if the user wanted to overwrite a copy of the database. This happened when there had already been a copy made and the application tried to use the same name. This error occured in the Add Packet and Add GSE options of the Telemetry Database application and the Add Command option in the Command Database application.

• If a packet contained more than 800 parameters, TReK would not include the 800th parameter in the processed parameter list. TReK updates the parameter list in groups of 800 so if there were 1601 parameters in a packet, TReK’s processed parameter list would not include the 800th and 1600th parameters. This problem is now fixed. This was not a problem for packets with less than 800 parameters.

EHS ECR Updates

• HM-3136 -- TReK now supports 32 and 40 bit TISS data types.

New or Enhanced Capabilities

• The forwarding feature in Telemetry Processing now supports adding and removing headers before forwarding. In previous versions of TReK, Telemetry Processing was able to remove the EHS and CCSDS headers before forwarding packets. Telemetry Processing can now also add CCSDS and EHS headers to packets before forwarding.
