Calibrator v3.1.4

Version 3 history

2026-06-04 Calibrator v3.1.4

• Fixed a bug when copying a 2D table to webreport html cell, where one row was missing.

2026-06-02 Calibrator v3.1.3

• Fixed a database query bug while querying upwash tables.
• Calibrator now asks for the UTC offset of the log timestamps, as well as UTC offset of any data imported/exported.

2026-05-22 Calibrator v3.1.2

• Fixed a bug where changing time format in LogConfig created an error.
• Fixed a bug where Calibrator did not deal properly with having two main speedos (one on port and one on stbd).

2026-05-15 Calibrator v3.1.1

• BoatConfig: You can now specify that your speedo calibration and compass alignment offset have values in the log
• BoatConfig: Third option added for speedo base calibration: speedo factor (eg: 1.015 multiplication factor). There used to be only two (herztToKnots and speedo%).
• BoatConfig: Calibrator can now read Faro polars.
• 1DTable, 2DTable When viewing a ‘while sailing’ table, when clicking on the cells, influenced points in the graphs get highlighted (this used to only work if you were editing a new table).
• 1DTable, 2DTable When viewing a ‘while sailing’ table, changed background colour so it’s obvious we’re editing an old table.
• 1DTable , 2DTable: When saving or exporting table, added an extra line-break.
• Work in progress: implementation of calibration files in value pairs format (currently, Calibration only deals with table format for calibration files).

2026-04-20 Calibrator v3.0.13

• Implemented ‘Copy screenshot to clipboard’ for ComapssCalib, MHU_offset and CalibrateUpwash.
• Improved way to select log label names.
• Fixed a bug when reading data.
• Table2D dialog: added import/export WTP.txt format
• Fixed a bug where, if a boat has a port and stbd speedo, they couldn’t both be set as ‘isMainSpeedo’.

2026-04-14 Calibrator v3.0.11

• Fixed a bug where tacks, gybes and phases didn’t show in the Mhu_offset calibration section for very specific cases (multiple mhus, and only some of them have multiple upwash tables).
• Fixed a graph scaling bug in the Mhu_offset calibration.
• Implemented a context menu ‘Reset Scale’ in the Mhu_offset calibration.
• Fixed a bug where MAST_ROT and Mast_Rot_offset did not appear when exploring phases or datapoints
• In Edit2DTable dialog, Calibrator can now import/export from Pixel/Exocet format. But it doesn’t do a very good job yet because it needs to convert it to a table function of TWS and TWA. Standby for a better implementation.
• Added user error messages and fixed bugs.

2026-03-07 Calibrator v3.0.8

• Fixed a database backward compatibility bug.

View a youtube video tutorial of all the new version 3 features.
General

• Implemented MAST_ROT and MastRot_offset (PRO version only) for boats with rotating mast where mast rotation comes into play when computing wind.
• The fact that a tack or gybe has been reviewed by the user is now stored in the database.
• Actual calibration values (like speedo%, mhu_offset, etc…) are no longer in the BoatConfig page. You will now be prompted to check/update those values when you start a calibration session.
• If your calibration was modified onboard while sailing (eg: you modified the mhu_offset, or an upwash table) you can now specify those changes in time. In the previous version, you could only specify a single mhu_offset value for the entire session. You can now specify multiple changes during the day (this applies to tables also).
• While you are in the process of doing some calibration, you can now click Menu->File->Save post calibrations to file. That way, if you re-run the Calibrator on a session (eg: in the event of a crash), you can load post calibrations. This is done by using the ‘Load post calibrations’ at the bottom left of the ‘Load data’ page (right after the lof is loaded, and before you click ‘Next’ to start creating phases).
• Started implementing connection between the Calibrator and WebReports. Please enquire with us if you need this option as it requires a licence update.

Phase creation

• You can now specify that when creating or loading phases, phases should be when there was at least the mainsail and one other sail. This is only in the Pro version, in the case that your electronics has multiple upwash tables which you change depending on which sail is up. To activate this function, go to the ‘Manoeuvres’ tab of the BoatConfig window (editing a boat at startup)
• Tracker now has a wand tool (somewhat like in RaceReplay). The wand can be used to find phases in the phase table, delete phases, or ask the Calibrator to only analyse a specific part of the track.
• On the tracker, you can now right-click a phase for a context menu to popup. It will let you view the phase in the phase table, set the wand where the selected phase is, or delete the phase.

Table editing

• During the calibration process, while editing a new 1D or 2D calibration table, new option to highlight changes. This will highlight the cells of the new table for which you have modified a value compared to the old table. If this is active, leave your mouse over the cell to view the differences.
• Even if a table is readonly, it can now be transposed (Menu->Tools->Transpose)
• Possibility to import tables from database
• When editing a 2D table, Menu->Tools->Rows->Add now lets you enter multiple values at once (separated by semi-columns)
• When editing a 2D table, Menu->Tools->Rows->Add now lets you enter multiple values at once (separated by semi-columns)

Other

• SpeedoCalib: Implemented right-click on a point to view it in the phase table.
• CompassCalib: Implemented right-click on a point to view it in the phase table.
• MhuOffset: Implemented right-click on a phase point to view it in the phase table or delete the phase.
• UpwashCalib: You can now right click a tack/gybe point in the TWD graphs and ask to mark them as invalid.

Version 2

2025-10-13 Calibrator v2.16

• When normalizing an Expedition log, output log now contains fields Utc, UtcDate and UtcTIme for better readability with Notepad or Excel.
• Edit2DTable: now highlights points in graph even if for ‘old’ table.
• Edit2DTable: dialog displays a red ReadOnly when applies.
• Edit2DTable: added rounding to no decimals and to closest 0.5
• TackGybes: added TWD indicators in TackGybe validation page.
• Fixed bug in highlighting tack/gybes or phases in Upwash module if log data does not contain origTWS and origTWA

 

2025-09-02 Calibrator v2.12

• SpeedoCalib: When setting tide manually for multiple measurements during the day, point which will be affected get highlighted, and you can see changes immediately.
• UpwashCalib: When editing a new upwash angle or speed table, selecting cells in the 2D table window will highlight which points are going to be affected.
• CompassCalib: implemented drawing trend line for current when coming from grib or manual_multi.

 

2025-08-30 Calibrator v2.11

• BoatConfig: new ‘help’ button in TidalCurrent tab.
• BoatConfig: corrected a bug where user could not specify a table for leeway K values as a function of TWS.
• CreatePhases: New filter for min avg bsp and min avg tws.
• SpeedoCalib : Fixed a bug when points get highlighted in the SpeedoCalib when editing a 2D bsp heel cal table which the user asked to show as transposed.
• SpeedoCalib : New option for entering manual current: you can specify multiple tide measurements at different times of the day (it makes the assumption that the measurements are close to where the boat was at the time). For instance, one could go lookup GRIB current data at various times during the day and manually type in those values into the Calibrator.
• SpeedoCalib: Importing current from a GRIB file is still work in progress as some GRIBs work, and others not.
• Edit 1D table: now displays a graph.

 

2025-06-20 Calibrator v2.10

• Corrected bug for calibrating a log where there is no heel data.

2025-06-11 Calibrator v2.8

• Fixed a bug where values for a 1D bsp vs bsp calibration table were not getting extrapolated correctly (eg: the table was only going to BSP 15kn but the data had speedo values over 15kn).
• Work in progress (next version): possibility to import tidal current data from a grib file.
