2011-10-19 PerfQuery v3.13

  • PerfGraphs/VMG Graphs:
    • Custom trend lines and target lines similar to XY graphs
    • Specify which points to use, select by tack, sails, TWS, race leg...
    • Save trend lines as target lines
    • Interface similar to XY graphs
  • Graph trend lines
    • Now you have the option to select either least square or radial basis methods
    • Trend lines and target lines now have comments
    • For XY graphs you may specify a XvsY or YvsX trend line


2011-09-15 PerfQuery v3.11

  • General:
    • If you are using the program for various boats you may save your settings (the init file) for each of them
    • Do this from the main page's menu File->Save Init File as
    • To startup PerfQuery with a specific init file just hold the CTRL key down while launching the app
    • You will then be prompted for the desired init file

     
  • Phase table windows:
    • Every time you run a query, a new query result window opens
    • This will allow you to work with two (or more) windows in parallel for two different queries

     
  • Bin Report:
    • Optionally display variable units in Bin Report
    • As this is a new feature units will need updating in the database. Do this from the 'DBMaintenance' tab of the initial query page

     
  • Database Maintenance:
    • From the 'DBMaintenance' tab of the initial query page you may now add a new performance variable
    • All previously existing phases will have a value of 'null' for this new variable

     


2011-06-28 PerfQuery v3.10

  • Reports:
    • Sail statistics presented as a bin report to see how many hours were spent per sail in different wind ranges

     
  • Phase Table:
    • Revamped phase table, works exactly like in RaceReplay
    • Advanced tab for phase filtering which lets you manually enter a filtering formula using any variables
    • Customize your table
    • Export to Excel or CrossoverChart
    • Permanently delete phases from the database using the phase table (and therefor the advanced filtering tools)

     
  • XYGraphs:
    • New 'View' toolbar menu to show the different option panels
    • Unlimited number of target lines can be loaded and managed in a new 'Target Lines' panel

     


2011-06-03 PerfQuery v3.9

  • Phase Table:
    • Advanced tab for phase filtering which lets you manually enter a filtering formula using any variables
    • Example: (Forestay>=6.5) AND ((HEEL > 15) OR (HEEL < -15))
    • In this example only phases where average Forestay >= 6.5 and Heel > 15 on either port or stbd will be kept
    • While entering your formula, click on apply to know how many phases would be left after filtering

     
  • XYGraphs:
    • New 'View' toolbar menu to show the different option panels
    • Unlimited number of target lines can be loaded and managed in a new 'Target Lines' panel

     


2011-05-22 PerfQuery v3.7

  • XYGraph: Colour points by date
     
  • XYGraph Zone:
    • Create a zone in the graph by clicking Toolbar->Zone->Create zone and then clicking the four corners of your zone in the graph (alternatively, right click in the graph for the context menu).

     
  • XYGraph TrendLines:
    • Create multiple trend lines. Use the trend line table to manage them in the trend line panel.
    • Create a new trend lines by clicking the '+' button in the trend line panel.
    • If you have created a zone you may specify that the trend only be calculated for the points in the zone.
    • You may change the appearance of the trend line and its fit order by selecting it in the trend line table and clicking the 'property' button in the trend line panel (or right-click a row of the table).
    • Once created, a trend line keeps in memory the points it was created with. This means that you may do the following:
      • Load data for Day1 using filters in the phase table
      • Create a trend line
      • Unload data for Leg1 and replace it with data from Day2 using filters in the phase table
      • Create another trend line
      • Load data of both Day1 and Day2 and select Labels=RaceLeg and ColourBy=Labels
      • You now have data for Day1 and Day2 in different colours and a trend line for each of those (see picture above)
    • Save a trend line to a target file for future use by clicking on the 'Save' icon of the trend line panel or right clicking on one of the rows.

     


2011-05-16 PerfQuery v3.6

  • XYGraph: You can now open multiple XY graphs
     
  • XYGraph: Select port/stbd/both to filter points
     
  • XYGraph: Select Tack, Race Leg, TWSBin, TWABin for colours and labels

  • New look for the phase table window
     
  • VMG, Perf and XY graphs now available as tabs, open them with the 'Graphs' Menu
     
  • Note that you can click and drag those graphs (by their tab title), move them in the main window to have split windows or float them out completely
