2.2.0  
  
2.0.10.27948

2.0.0.27713

1.28.0.27289

1.26.0.27011    

New features:
  [8004] Added Russian report template.
  [8149] The update window now shows both links to the current SmartCheck and ProLink firmware files.

Bug fixes:
  [8006] Changes to bearings were saved to the wrong database when more than one database were open in the 
         viewer. This has been corrected.
  [8168] The values for offset, minimum and maximum value of an input config were wrongly scaled when 
         exported. This is now fixed.
  [7132] On the import of a configuration from a device with a firmware 1.12 or less, it could happen that 
         the default speed for the base measurement was not set. Now the currect default speed is used.
  [7271] In the report, special characters like umlauts were not printed in captions and the table of 
         content. Now these are printed correctly.
  [7803] The validation which characters are allowed in the device name is now the same as in the firmware.
  [7851] Migrate data could fail under some circumstances, especially when using data from old firmware 
         versions. Now the migration of data works correctly.
  [7986] In the email import, folders are now sorted alphabetically.
  [8065] Link to support has been updated to the current version.
  [8122] When using slow input channels like OPC/UA or SLMP in a measurement configuration, sending such a 
         configuration to the device could lead to extrem long measurement times, since the device would try 
         to also read the defined number of samples for the vibration channels from slow channels. Now, only 
         the time/size of the vibration signals is relevant for the slow channels.
  [8166] Under cirtain conditions, opening the viewed showed an error message sqlite database not found, 
         which prevented the use of the viewer. This has been corrected.
  [8167] Export to text was broken because of a missing library file. This now works correctly again.
  [8173] Fixed a problem which prevented updating the firmware of very old devices from Schaeffler SmartUtility Light 
         software.

Version 1.10.2.23003

New features:
- No functional changes, just support the changes made to the Schaeffler SmartCheck device.

Version 1.10.0.22853
    
Known bugs:
- [5893] If measurement data was downloaded with a Schaeffler SmartUtility Light software 1.8.0 and higher, older 
	versions are unable to detect that this data is from a newer version. This will result in displaying just 
	a warning sign in the device tree of the Schaeffler Viewer software without further advice what the reason for 
	this behaviour is.
  
Version 1.8.20.20960
  
New features:
- French translation of the software and all user documentation.

Bug fixes: 	 
- [5886] A firmware update from version 1.4.x to a version 1.6.y will only be possible when the Schaeffler 
	SmartUtility Light software is started with administrator rights. 
	Now it is possible to perform a firmware update for normal users as well.
- [5431] When updating the firmware of a Schaeffler SmartCheck from version 1.4.x to 1.6.y, the right to delete 
	measurement data from within the Schaeffler SmartWeb was not granted to the administrator user group and 
	could thus not be reinstalled with the Schaeffler SmartWeb. The right is now assigned correctly to the 
	administrator user group.

Version 1.8.0.20540

- In this release, the version number of the Schaeffler SmartUtility Light software and the Schaeffler SmartCheck 
  firmware differ. Please note, that the software has the version number 1.8.0, but the accompanying 
  firmware version has 1.6.20.  
	 
Bug fixes:  
- [5564] The Schaeffler SmartUtility Light software unnecessarily interrupted the measurement process on a Schaeffler SmartCheck 
	 device when the device was manually added and the device information in the software needed to be 
	 refreshed. This has been corrected, the measurement process on the device is now only interrupted 
	 for operations that need additional resources on the device. In any case the measurement process 
	 is started when the operation finishes.
- [5305] If while performing a firmware update for a Schaeffler SmartCheck device with activated user management 
	 the authentication failed, the message shown was "No firmware version found" instead of 
	 "Authentication failed". This has been corrected accordingly.
- [5306] If the name of a Schaeffler SmartCheck device was changed using Schaeffler SmartWeb, the new name was not assumed 
	 in the Schaeffler SmartUtility Light software. This has been corrected.		 
- [5589] Schaeffler SmartCheck devices that were manually added could sometimes vanish from the device list in the 
	 Schaeffler SmartUtility Light making it impossible to download data, perform a firmware update etc. Refreshing 
	 the device list would not always help. Refreshing the device list will not lead to removal of manually 
	 added devices any more.  
  
Version 1.6.12.18250    
  
  Bug fixes:
- [4791] Prior to a firmware update a message is raised saying that measurement data and measurement configuration
	 will be lost due to the firmware update. This is not necessarily true any more. When there are no changes
	 the internal format of a configuration, the measurement configuration is not lost due to a firmware update.
	 The new message reflects this.
 
Version 1.6.10.16862  
  
Bug fixes:
- [4900] When the user management on a Schaeffler SmartCheck was active and a firmware update was performed, the user 
	 information on the Schaeffler SmartCheck was overwritten with the default.
- [4870] In "Open devices" the language of the system was submitted in the four letter form. In case of not supported
	 languages the default would be English, even if one of the supplied language would be better suited.
	 e.g. "de-ch" for Switzerland would end up using English even if the supplied language German ("de-de") 
	 would be more appropriate. Now only the two letter code will be used for comparison (in the example above
	 "de" will be used).
  
Version 1.6.8.15094 
  
New features:
-	 The data download can be limited to a time interval.
-	 The firmware update to multiple devices can be performed in parallel.
-	 Before commencing a firmware update to a Schaeffler SmartCheck a thorough check is performed, if the update is possible.
-	 A check was added, if the firmware update to a Schaeffler SmartCheck was successful. In previous version only the 
	 successful transfer to the Schaeffler SmartCheck was checked, not the result of the operation on the Schaeffler SmartCheck.

Bug fixes: 
- [4371] When an external source was defined on the Schaeffler SmartCheck the name of the device was not saved,
	 when the configuration of the Schaeffler SmartCheck was downloaded with the data.
- [3616] When configuring the IP adress of the Schaeffler SmartCheck it was possible that the program displayed an
	 error on the result page, even when the operation was successful.

Known bugs:
- [4671] The SmartUtility Light requires the .NET-Framework version 4.5. If on the target system the .NET-Framework version
	 4.5.1 is already present before installing the SmartUtility Light, the optional .NET language packs are not installed 
	 automatically. Optional means in this case the language packs, that do not match the system language of the underlying
	 Windows. These files can still be installed manually in version 4.5.1.

	 
Version 1.4.800  
  
New features:
-	 Spanish translation of the software and all documentation.

Bug fixes:  
  
- [2558] On some computers clicking on one of the links of either the email addresses or the web 
	 address in the about dialog may cause the program to crash.
	 
- [2684] When this release is installed on a computer without uninstalling a previous release
	 first, the entry in Control Panel => Software will be overwritten and thus the previous
	 release cannot be uninstalled over the Control Panel any more. It is still possible to 
	 uninstall by starting "unins000.exe" in the program folder manually.	 
	 
- [3596] Schaeffler SmartCheck with an IP-Address in a different net segment were not found even when the netmask
	 settings were correct.	   

	 
Version 1.4.650

- No changes


Version 1.4.512

New features:

- [1923] Functionality to check if updates for software and firmware are available was added.
	 This will check in regular intervals and will display a message when a new version is 
	 available. It is recommended to use always the latest firmware version.

Improvements:

- [0824] The standard folder for storing data was changed to c:\data because of the old location was not easily
	 accessible for all users. The folder can still be changed upon the first start of the program.  

- [2445] A manifest was added to the setup program requesting that it is started with administrator
	 privileges.

Bug fixes:

- [2291] When Schaeffler SmartCheck were added manually by their IP-address, the device information along with
	 username and password were not saved and thus had to be entered again after each program 
	 start.

- [2426] When two Schaeffler SmartCheck are answering to the broadcast of the Schaeffler SmartUtility Light at the same moment
	 UDP packets could be lost. This would result in an incomplete list in which not all 
	 devices would be visible.

- [1554] When cancelling a firmware update it was possible for the software to crash.

Known bugs:

- [2558] On some computers clicking on one of the links of either the email addresses or the web 
	 address in the about dialog may cause the program to crash.

- [2682] When this release is installed on a computer without uninstalling a previous release
	 first, the link in the Start Menu will point to the old version. Clicking on it will 
	 start the old version. This can be prevented by creating a link in the Start Menu
	 manually.

- [2684] When this release is installed on a computer without uninstalling a previous release
	 first, the entry in Control Panel => Software will be overwritten and thus the previous
	 release cannot be uninstalled over the Control Panel any more. It is still possible to 
	 uninstall by starting "unins000.exe" in the program folder manually.
