Qinsy 9.8.0 - Improvements
Installer updates
For this release, we update some of the dependencies we need to install in order to run Qinsy to the latest version. The following page gives you an overview of the current dependencies:
Additionally, we deprecated the use of VBScripts.
QPD improvements
Resolution
The new QPD format allows us to store footprint data in a higher resolution (more decimals). Previously millimeter resolution was only supported to a range of 30 meters from the system. Millimeter resolution is now supported to a range of 300 meters from the system, with a smooth transition to coarser resolutions.
