We are pleased to announce the release of Veta 4.1! New features were focused on the sublots and filtering. As usual, several fixes and quality of life improvements were included.

Release Highlights

• The road map was replaced and an aerial map is now provided.
• Location filters based on alignments have been updated to improve accuracy. Check your filters to ensure they are still correct.
• Because operation filters are frequently used for daily checks, Design Name and Imported File Name filters no longer have any items selected.
• The paving width filter for thermal profiling data has been replaced by a “cold-edge” filter.
• The sublots creation algorithm has been improved. You will need to press the Create Sublots button to update the sublots and take advantage of new features.
• The last sublot is now merged into the previous sublot if the length is less than half of the specified length.
• Warnings are no longer given when only part of the analysis fails.

All changes are listed in the Release Notes and also provided below.

File Import

• Change: A default project name is no longer provided.
• Change: Ames projects will now import the Machine ID.
• Change: HAMM files that do not use GPS can now have their coordinate system set during import.
• Fix: Trimble files that includes rows with valid CMV but are missing frequency and/or amplitude can now be imported.
• Fix: Trimble files that have quotes around the Machine ID will now have the quotes removed.

Maps

• New: Added the Bing aerial map as an option. Please note that aerial maps have usage limits. If usage is higher than expected we may temporarily disable the aerial maps.
• Change: The OpenStreetMap road map has been replaced by the Bing road map.

Editor

• New: Added ability to sort the table.
• Fix: Crash when attempting to remove a file before the map had finished drawing. It is possible this could still cause a crash, so we recommend waiting for the map to finish before removing a file.

Alignments

• Change: Alignments are now upsampled if necessary to provide more detail for location filters (see below). No differences should be visible. This upsampling will done be when an alignment is added and for previous projects.

Filters

• Change: Because operation filters are frequently used for daily checks, Design Name and Imported File Name filters no longer have all items selected.
• Change: The paving width filter for thermal profiling data has been replaced by a “cold-edge” filter. Instead of specifying a paving width, this filter will automatically remove cold edges on the pavement to filter the data to the proper width.
• Change: Checkbox items are now sorted alphabetically.
• Fix: Location filters that use part of an alignment could be slightly off if the alignment file had long lines. For existing projects, this correction will be done upon opening the project.
• Fix: Changing time filters was sometimes difficult.

Sublots

• Change: If the length of the last sublot is less than half the sublot longitudinal length, it will be merged into the previous sublot.
• Change: Sublot creation accuracy and speed has been improved. You will need to press the Create Sublots button to obtain the new sublots. Some analysis results may also not appear if you do not recreate the sublots. Current testing has shown the Transverse Width input is not needed, so it has been removed for now. Even more so than before, proper filtering is required to obtain accurate sublots.

Spot Tests

• Fix: Pasting spot tests did not work if there were spaces after the column names or if the column names did not match the letter casing of Veta.

Analysis

• New: The length of a sublot has been added to each sublot table.
• New: For thermal profile projects, the length of the filtered profile is now listed in the coverage table for each operation filter.
• Change: Sublots Details screen has been moved into the Sublots Results screen.
• Change: Differential results have been moved from the Overall Results into the Sublot Results.
• Change: Warnings are no longer given when part of the analysis fails. Due to the nature of the data that is being analyzed and the many dozens of sub-analyses that are run, the warning message was showing so frequently as to not be useful. A message will now only be shown if there was no data found to analyze or every sub-analysis fails.
• Fix: Statistics/Histogram analyses with no data have been removed.

Miscellaneous

• Improved performance.
• Various cosmetic changes to reports, tables, and charts.

This release fixes a crash and adds improved support for Volvo files. Changes are listed in the Release Notes and also provided below.

Analysis

• Fix: Analysis might crash if no data matched the filter for one of the analyses.

Data Import

• New: Volvo’s “Work Order” is now imported as “Design Name” for filtering purposes. This will be changed to “Work Order” at a later date.

This release improves usability and fixes a pass count issue. Changes are listed in the Release Notes and also provided below.

Download Veta 4.0.116

Analysis

• Change: A failure in the correlation analysis will not cause the entire analysis to fail.

Data Import

• Fix: The maximum pass count was not recalculated when adding files. This affected the passes available for data filters, spot tests, and individual pass analyses. Opening an existing project will correct this.

Filters

• Fix: Changing the alignment-related values for a location filter did not cause the filter lines on the map to redraw.

This release improves usability and stability. One analysis bug was fixed that could display the wrong differential category (the differential value itself is correct). Changes are listed in the Release Notes and also provided below.

Filters

• Fixed: Changing, but not applying, a filter group would cause a crash when viewing a final coverage that was derived from all passes or individual passes that were derived from raw data.
• Change: Removing a filter group or filter must be confirmed by the user.
• Change: New operation filters will default to the name of the active filter group.

Sublots

• Change: Removing a sublot must be confirmed by the user.
• Change: New sublots will default to the name of the active filter group.

Spot Tests

• Change: Added new test type, “Temperature – Surface”.

Analysis

• Change: Better titles for the coverage pie charts.
• Change: Added ability to sort table columns in the differential results.
• Fixed: Differential category might not match the differential value.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed: Adding a duplicate file or a file that had no new data would cause a crash.
• Fixed: Comments could not be changed in the project properties.
• Fixed: Changing the map legend for the Ames laser test roller deflection did not work.
• Fixed: Moving a location filter point while the ruler or zoom selection tools were active would cause a crash.
• Change: Added ability to copy single table cells using Ctrl+C instead of only the whole table.
• Cosmetic changes.

This update contains only one fix. Some Veta 3 projects could not be opened. The only other change is the inclusion of the sample files.

We are pleased to announce the release of Veta 4.0! This new version contains many new features and changes to enhance productivity.  Check out the summary of new features document for an overview.

Highlights:

• All Passes will be calculated from an IC raw data file. Final Coverage will be calculated from All Passes. These calculations supersede the vendor’s files for the same data.
• Addition of an editor screen to list all files imported into the project. Files can also be removed.
• Filter organization has been completely changed. Filters can be assigned to multiple filter groups. This prevents the need to create a filter multiple times.
• Specification targets can be defined using all comparisons (<, <=, >, >=) and ranges can be used instead of just one number.
• Projects created in Veta 3 can be opened in Veta 4, but not vice-versa. Always have a backup of your projects.
• Microsoft .NET 4.5.2 is required.
• Many other big and small changes.
