V1.91 technical release 2016-12-22
The firmware 1.91 is the 3rd feature enhancement package for the Pocket Memo voice recorder range.
- CR | New default microphone setting: In order to avoid pop & hiss noises this firmware version sets to use the 360° mic as the default microphone, which normally is located further away from the speaker’s mouth and ensures a constant recording level independent of the sound direction.
- CR | 0000 Pin: Some users who configured a PIN on the Pocket Memo accidently pushed the OK button (e.g. device is in pocket). The device interprets the OK button as pin “0000”. After several times the device asked for the PUK2 pin. The new firmware version still accepts the pin “0000” but does not count it as a wrong trial.
- CR | Delete data list: The functionality to remove a data list from the DPM was missing. This functionality has been implemented. As soon as an empty list.csv (with no entries) is stored on the DPM the existing data list will be removed. This makes the “List” quick access function from the smartbutton disappear.
- CR | Remember scanned barcodes: The behavior of barcode scanning was quite uncomfortable for some users who enabled the setting “Barcode into keyword” and enabled for the same keyword the option “Mandatory keyword”: The user then scanned a barcode and confirmed. When starting recording the device asked the user to scan a barcode again. The DPM with the firmware 1.90 does not ask the user anymore, it uses the already scanned barcode. When the user switches the device off and on again the remembered barcode will not be available.
- Fix | List view: The new firmware version solves a bug in the data list view, which should be the same as the first row of the data list view.
- Fix | No priority selectable: When the user disabled the EOL button e.g. via the HWD SDK or SpeechExec workflow software it was not possible to set the EOL or Priority flag via the file menu on the device. This bug has been solved in the new firmware version.
- Fix | Charging via power supply: When the user deactivated the setting “USB charging” on the DPM, the device could not be charged via the docking station if a power supply was connected as well. This bug has been solved in the new firmware.
- Fix | Write barcode into keyword field: With the previous firmware it was not possible to scan a barcode into a keyword if a data list was stored on the device. The device stored the barcode in the barcode field of the DSS header instead of the desired keyword. This bug has been solved by presenting the well-known “barcode-into-keyword” screen after the device has searched for the scanned string inside the data list. This is independent if the barcode-string has been found or not in the data list.
- Fix | Audible distortion in voice activated recordings: In some rare cases when the recording mode was set to SP and the recording started using the Voice Activation feature an audible distortion has occurred. This did not happen when the recording mode was set to QP. This issue is sorted out in the new firmware version.
