Qinsy 9.4.2 - Known Issues

The QPS team is continuously improving Qinsy to implement new functionality and documentation. Unfortunately, there are a number of known issues in our software release Qinsy 9.4.2.
These software issues will be solved in future maintenance releases. Please subscribe to our Newsletter and follow future maintenance releases to ensure optimal use of Qinsy 9.

For this release the following issues are known:

Console - Geodetic UI - Keeps warning about difference in Geodetic Settings

Problem
We encountered an issue were the template geodetics are newer than the project geodetics.
This triggers a warning message that keeps coming back until the project geodetics are updated.

Workaround/fix
Open the Console and open the Geodetic UI and click OK.
This updates the project geodetics so they are in sync again with the template geodetics.

Planned fix
9.4.3

Drivers - Generic - Serial - Data without LF as Termination character not decoded

Problem
Serial drivers created using the I/O Driver Editor will not work if the Termination character is set to anything else than LF and there is not LF at the end of the string.
It turned out that Qinsy was always using LF, no matter what you selected as Termination Character.

Workaround/fix
Use Qinsy 9.4.4.

Planned fix
Fixed in 9.4.4
In this version the Termination character is decoded again.
Note that "None" is no longer an option since the Serial generic driver does not support this option.
So to prevent confusion, we removed this option from the selection list.

Survey Manager - Plotting - No data in plan view box

Problem
When creating a plot with a plan view in it, the plan view is:

Black in the plot preview;
White if you print it to PDF.

This was caused by a recent Windows update.
More info on that can be found here.

Workaround/fix
Uninstall the Windows update or install a Windows update that addresses this.
Please find more info here.

If you scroll down on the page, there are links for several Windows builds.

You can find your version number by:

Typing "Windows Updates" in the search bar;
Selecting the "OS build info" on the right side.
If you then scroll down a bit, you can see the number.

Planned fix
This has been addressed by Windows.
However, in case you still encounter the issue after installing the Windows fix, please let us know.

Converting a design file into a background file will not show lines when the start and end point of a line are outside the view. (Viewing Panel)

Recommendation:
Do not convert design files into background files. If lines from a design are needed in the Navigation Display, then create a dedicated background file.

The QPS team encountered a memory problem with CAD files which contain many complex blocks.

Recommendation:
Do not use CAD files which contain many complex blocks. This bug will be solved in a future maintenance release.

Both the Survey Manager and Navigation Display are not Per monitor DPI aware.
With two monitors, each with different display scales, the scale on the secondary monitor will not be correct.
This also affects the way the ENCs are drawn.

Recommendation:
Please vote on: FQI-605 - Survey Manager - Plan View - Make per monitor DPI aware

Drivers - Camera - Basler - crashes on Online startup

The computer has Pylon 6.0 installed and the camera can be used in Pylon.

Recommendation:
Overwrite the Pylon 6.0 install with Pylon 5.0.12.11830 and this will do the trick to run Basler with Qinsy 9.

Survey Manager - Plan View - ENC

ENCs produced by Rijkswaterstaat for the Dutch province of Zeeland and ENCs produced by the Netherlands Hydrographic office cannot be displayed simultaneously due to the different usage levels and compilation scales of both producers.

Survey Manager - Sounding Grid - Import Geoid Model

The QPS team encountered a problem when importing geoid models into a sounding grid.
For now the import functionality has been disabled.

Please let us know if you run into this issue so we can directly update you.
