SailView 2009.1 Update
The 2009.1 update to SailView contain several 'bug' fixes that address some communications issues with certain NMEA hardware. These fixes have been applied to both LIVE and the NMEA Server Combiner.
In addition to the fixes there have been several features added to all three of the major components.
LIVE
LIVE has been updated to provide a combined view of all polars defined in a profile. When selected a polar chart is displayed that shows all of the targets based on the true wind speed. With a quick glance you can tell which sail configuration is optimal for your point of sail and TWS. You can also use it to better determine the next leg's optimal sail configuration.
ANALYZE
Along with the additional polar functions in LIVE, ANALYZE has been updated to produce a polar grid based on the defined polars for a set of wind speeds and wind angles. In addition it produces a set of polar charts at preset wind speed intervals. This information is presented as a report that can be saved and printed in several formats.
REPLAY
REPLAY has been updated with network functionality that allows the logged data to be streamed (via TCP/IP) to LIVE while re-running a sailing session. This give several networked PCs running LIVE the ability to view the recorded data as if you were back on the water.
NMEA Server and Combiner
In addition to the bug fixes, the layout of the NMEA server has been changed to make it more user friendly. Now, when data is detected it is visible on the main tool bar making it more obvious what data is being transmitted to LIVE.
