SaVoir V8.3.0

New features

New Import / Export menus, under File menu, allows to import and export swath planning files in several formats, including:

- ESA Sentinel mission plans in KML and CSV formats.

- EODC (EMSA Earth Observation Data Center) XML fomat, according to different schema versions (1.3, 1.4 and upcoming 2.0).

- Radarsat-2 Acquisition Coverage Planning (ACP) files compatible with Radarsat-2 Acquisition Planning Tool.

See example files in folder "C:\Program Files\Taitus Software\SaVoir\samples\extra\Swath plans"

New Solar panels modelling and characterisation of solar power availability.

New feature to configure the visible columns in Report Views, and their relative order. Configurable in Edit / Properties / Report / Columns

Outages are shown now integrated with the scenario tree, to better identifying resources affected.

Added Minimum and Maximum coverage area to the Coverage area constraint.

Export color maps has been updated so that exports in .bmp, .jpg and .png preserve the full image background (Map background, borders, background color, gadgets).

The GeoTIFF, KML and KMZ exports remain as before , exporting only the color map layer

Added frame length in km to the framing definition

Swath resize and pan with distance units

Now it is possible to edit swaths individually to change their framing configuration, and shorten and lengthen to the next full frame, via right click menu

Swath selection with mouse actions has been modified as follows:

CTRL + LEFT CLICK on swath

Highlight cumulatively the next swath under the mouse, and dim all other swaths.

If move the mouse to other location and continue with CTRL + LEFT CLICK, the previous selections remain selected (highlighted)

CTRL or SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK

Dim the highlighted swath under the mouse

Fixed source

Fixed crash when loading gantt files with style sheet

Fixed crash when no internet connection and SaVoir tries to do license verification

Fixed zero duration swaths after transition constraint. Now they are removed.

Fixed quota constraint for regions, which failed with steerable sensors

Fixed quota constraint for sensors, which did not calculate properly the accumulation of events in the quota period

Fixed quota editing in the sensor and quota wizards

Fixed quota editing in the properties pane for steerable sensors, which did not propagate the quotas to the different sensor modes

Fixed time format errors. The output format for XML files has been normalised according to ISO 8601 with the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ.

The Z is appended to the end for UTC time.

Fixed constellation wizard to produce "same plane constellations" which can be saved and reloaded back.

Fixed sensor steering algorithm, which missed a boundary steering position due to wrong equality check, resulting in rare cases in swaths not being generated when obvious coverage opportunity was possible.

Fixed report sorting by check box column, and report grouping be check box column.

Fixed report grouping using the checkbox column, to allow grouping selected (ON) and unselected (OFF) items in different collasable groups.
