Version: MRC+ software version 5.05.00

Date: 2015-12-01

Release Note

This MRC+ version 5.05.05 is an upgrade of previous software with following changes from earlier
version:

Changed functionality:
 NMEA outputs for MGC. The number of NMEA output formats is extended for the MGC
models.
 Time synchronization functionality extended. In the configuration it is now possible to setup the
MRU and MGC to be time synchronized through input of ZDA message, NTP server or the TSC
command in addition to 1PPS input.
 Integrated heave output. For the integrated heave output it is now possible to configure the
heave output with zero mean value or with heave offset depending on static roll/pitch angle.
 Identification of MRU junction box. The MRC+ will now identify whether a junction box is
connected to the MRU or not and change the Input/Output list accordingly. However, it is
possible to select this manually.

Corrected errors:
 Redraw of 16bits integer. The MRC+ now keeps the characters input in the MRU configuration
file for output of 16bits integer (W), double (D) and long (L).

Known errors:
 Range on heading presentation. The heading (variable 68) is output on screen and logged on file
in the range ±180º. It should have been 0 to 360º. However, the MRU and MGC is outputting
the heading on serial lines and Ethernet ports in the range 0 to 2π.

The MRC+ installation software supports any Windows operation system.

Limiations:

This MRC+ software has following limitations:


 It works together with MRU software version from 5.03.XX.
