Chronojump software: 1.7.1 (2017 July 25)

  Global changes

• Chronojump starts with 6 modes.
• Chronopic window renamed “device” is now easier and nicer.
• Improved most of the software icons. Just one color, more easy to differentiate, cleaner interface.
• Software can fit now in less vertical space. Ideal for tablets.
• Improved view on maximized software (see preferences).
• Person add/load buttons use a selector frame: more clear and easy to understand.
• Added a new session type: “monthly”. Each month a new session is created with the persons of previous month. Useful on sport clubs, gyms, rehab centers where more or less there are same people each month.
• At load session, data can be sorted by date and name. Default sort is date desc.
• Import a session now imports correctly sports and specialties.
• At start of Chronojump splash window stays more time displaying messages and disappears just when main window is shown.
• Splash window shows when Chronojump is going to be opened two times.
• Now it’s impossible to add characters ‘ and ” on any text entry. This avoid problems at the database.
• Chronopic mac message shown on chronopic window avoiding being hided by the window.
• Persons can be on the top to save space (see preferences).
• Added Adwaita theme to have the same aspect on all systems, but deactivated temporarily.
• Notifications bell (feedback) change shape depending on if it’s defined.
• Fixed crash on persons without sport (when user deleted the sport).
• Fixed problem with the mode “session unique”, used only on an specific research and an specific club.
• Fixed minor problems with height/weight labels on metric system.

  Jumps, Races, Other tests

• Added sprint analysis mode for intervallic races: Modeling race to get average/max speed, acceleration, force, power…
• Export session now uses latin or English correctly.
• Chronopic-firmare for reaction time animation light with more suitable frequencies.
• Canceling Chronopic connection does not produce any error now.
• Double contacts on races moved to preferences.
• Threshold configuration on a separate window.
• Fixed repairing an intervallic race.
• Fixed distance total calculation on intervallic races with variable distance.

  Encoder

• Calibration on inertial encoder: Calibrate on first capture and then encoder is measuring all the time. Now there’s no need to start exercise on eccentric. Also can recalibrate if desired.
• Persons can be changed while encoder continuous capture.
• Added triggers on Chronopic to synchronize capture with external signal (eg. push button).
• Possibility of showing only bars in the capture area ( see preferences -> encoder).
• On opening Chronojump, it remembers the configurations of last execution.
• Safer encoder calculations: less prone to crashes on unusual problems with low computer memory or other causes.
• Capture bars now show de loss on a set: Difference between best and worse repetition.
• Added new configurations:
  • gravitatory inclination plane with weight on different angle and moving pulley.
  • inertial axis lateral with moving pulley.
• Encoder exercise parameters got opened on a “window below” to avoid mistakes and have a cleaner interface.
• Feedback on inertial can discard first three repetitions (see preferences).
• At continuous mode, if there’s no movement for a long time, deletes the initial zeros to capture faster next set.
• At capture time is shown now the repetition start time.
• Speed optimization: on showOnlyBars don’t create points for graph of the set.
• Finally fixed missing repetitions on realtime capture on plotbars.
• Fixed 1RM Badillo squat.
• At set loading, now extra weight label shows the correct information.
• Fixed smoothing on export (incorrectly was detecting propulsive phase).
• On export to CSV all eccentric-concentric is exported (not only ground phase).
• Fixed MAXs meanSpeed, meanPower and pp_ppt on data table.
• Fixed possible circular handle problem on weight changing at load signal.
• Fixed problems on display of repeated encoder configurations.
• Fixed some a very rare crash at the end of capture.
• Fixed getDisplacement with gearedDown.
• Fixed minor difference on extra weight display on encoder start.
• Added analysis internal tests to check if software resist high stress (lots of continuous captures).
• On capture, internal logs are not recorded to avoid computer threads problems.

  Force sensor

• Added a force sensor (strain gauge) and graphs with RFD and impulse. Both are configurable (see preferences) to customize parameters. Right now calculations are related only to maximum isometric force test.

  Chronojump-networks

• Client/server allows connection of some Chronojump machines (clients) with a local server. Features:
  • Create users associated with bracelets (RFID).
  • Create tasks for this users.
  • Chronojump clients got configures automatically by server tasks with minimal user interaction.
  • Chronojump tests (encoder gravitational and inertial, and races) are uploaded automatically on the server.
  • Server shows “realtime data” and can export to spreadsheet.

  Translations

• Updated translations: Brazilian, Catalan, Czech, German, Italian, Serbian, Spanish.

  Documentation

• Updated manuals.
