Firmware 1.7.0

Features & Improvements:

FW 1.7.0 is a bigger firmware, which firstly provides end user access to the amplifiers, while also having changes within the frontend/maintenance.

There are no bugs nor other major changes within the UI other than a small enhancement displaying e.g., “A+B” in the tabs, when combining two zones in stereo mode.

User Control

End users have now a simplified interface with essential controls:

“All Zones”
- Instantly mutes all zones.
Zone Overview:
- Adjust volume
  - Turn it up and down and adjust the volume
- VU-meter:
  - Displays current audio output for each zone.
- Mute Button:
  - Allows individual zones to be muted.
- Zone/Input Selection:
  - Facilitates switching between different zones or inputs.
- Mix Editing:
  - Permits adjustments to the audio mix.

Access restrictions:

End users are limited to the page “User Control”.
Installers can log in for advanced settings and configurations. This is setup through the tab “Security”, where they first setup a PIN which ensures that it is only an installer that can access the configuration of the amplifier, while the page “User Control” is accessbile to end users.

Code refactoring / UI Components

The Software Team has done changes in the frontend, which ensures that all buttons are based on components. The buttons therefore look different compared to versions earlier than firmware 1.7.0. The changes ensure better maintenance and improves testability of the application.

An overview of the affected areas is provided below.

Examples are chosen from each of the respected firmware, so it is easy to see the difference between the two firmware.
