Release note
Produal MyTool® 1.7 Android application 4.3.2020
This release note includes all major changes and improvements that are done to Produal MyTool®
configuration tool application version 1.7. There is also a large amount of smaller changes done that are
excluded from this document.
Pre-installation scanner
A feature that can be used to measure the signal strength on the site before installing a working wireless network. The signal scanner function has been found under a pre-installed project, and this has required an installed network and WBU on the site. Now any WTR transmitter operated in a Bluetooth mode can be used with a pre-installation scanner. The scanner is located behind the "Wireless installation projects" menu and is called "Pre-installation scan". By activating the Bluetooth from any transmitters, it can be added to a pre-signal scanner search and used to demonstrate signal coverage on the site before building up working a network.
Main view UI improvement
The old view was split into two separate windows. Now in a new view, everything is placed
on one page. This makes it easier to navigate, and all functions are easier to access. Subtitles for buttons is
also added to make the view easier to read.
WBU settings improvement
WBU settings improvement now the settings have subtitles, and some of the buttons have
a new name. Some operations have also been restructured.
WBU hardware inputs/output
Inputs - Settings for WBU physical inputs
Outputs - Settings for WBU physical outputs
Measurement calculations
Average groups - 5pcs of average groups
Measurement alarms - Was before the "alarm settings" now include only alarms related to measurements
Temperature stability - Temperature stability is an indicator of how well the temperature remains within certain limits.
Communication
Modbus register grouping - Was before "WTR input register cloning".
Value over bus - Settings for external values shown through display models.
Wireless network settings - Wireless Network Settings like polling interval and offline alarm time
General communication settings - Ethernet and RS-485 settings
Settings and UI improvement for CU
Main view UI improvement and settings improvement is also concerning CU and other
devices that are using this same UI structure.
WBU input settings
Possibility to select what kind of physical inputs is connected to WBU inputs.
Digital input settings have a possibility to adjust the resistance level of contact on and off levels
Simplified wireless network setup
The Network ID generation window has been abandoned and moved behind a separate link at the end of
the installation. WBU installation now begins from naming the device.
1. No changes in "Custom device name" page
2. No changes in "Transmitter naming pattern" page
3. Under generated network ID is the blue "Change" link. Behind this, it is now possible to generate a new ID if wanted.
4. No changes in "Configuration finished" page
Viewing beacon data directly from a project
When the transmitter is installed under the project, its Beacon data can be read easily by selecting transmitter that the data user wants to read. Previously, this had to be done via the "Scan beacon data" function. The "Scan beacon data" function still exists. This shortcut functionality was added to make it faster to access the beacon data view.
Wireless project saving functionality
In a wireless project, the "End installation" button is now the "Installation overview" button.
Under the "Installation overview" window, there is now "End installation" and "Discard project" buttons.
The “End installation” closes the project and saves it under the "Wireless installation projects" folder.
Discard project functionality
In a wireless project, the "End installation" button is now the "Installation overview" button.
Under the "Installation overview" window, there is now "End installation" and "Discard project" buttons.
"Discard project" button removes the project from MyTool, but doesn’t affect the installation itself on WBU!
Device configuration download from MyCloud improved "Load to device"
Management and downloading of saved settings have been improved when loading settings from the
cloud. This improvement only applies to settings stored in the MyCloud, not those that are stored in the
phone's memory behind the "Use existing file" button.
Example of fast loading settings to WTR
1. Selecting "Download settings from MyCloud"
2. Selecting "Load to device" loads settings from MyCloud and push those directly to the transmitter.
3. Information screen that settings are loaded to the transmitter
4. The user is brought back to the starting window
Device configuration download from MyCloud improved "Load and edit"
When using "Load and edit" the user can check settings that he is loading to the transmitter and make
necessary changes before loading those to the device.
Example of loading settings to WTR
1. Selecting "Download settings from MyCloud"
2. Selecting "Load and edit" loads settings from MyCloud
3. The user can see which kind of settings are being imported. This window is because some products can have different types of settings.
4. The user can see which settings are being changed (number in the corner). Once checked that everything is OK, the changes can be uploaded to the transmitter by selectin "Install to device"
Transmitter automatic address selection abandoned
When installing transmitters under the wireless project, the manual option is only left. Manual address
selection is the surest way to set the correct IDs for transmitters. Automatic addressing was very little used,
and manual ID selection is a clear way to add the right address for the transmitters.
Viewing beacon data directly from a project
When the transmitter is installed under the project, its Beacon data can be read easily by selecting the
transmitter that the data user wants to read. Previously, this had to be done via the "Scan beacon data"
function. The "Scan beacon data" function still exists. This shortcut functionality was added to make it
faster to access the beacon data view.
Wireless installation visualization map
Under the installation overview, there is a network routing map that can be used to visualize network
structure and to show other information from the network.
Explanations for map icons:
EXT = External power supply device
xx% = MESH signal strength between two nodes
Green colour = Power consumption OK level
Yellow colour = Slightly higher power consumption may affect battery life
Red colour = Much higher than normal power consumption, this affects battery life. Typically after
installing the network, the power consumption of transmitters is high, and some of the transmitters might
show red colour. If everything is OK, the power consumption of the transmitter should go back to the
normal level after a couple of hours from starting the installation.
