New Features

• Trend ID numbers have been added to the Trend Summary report

• Master database version numbering now incorporates release year as the first number for easier identification and tracking.

• Model additions for Kress and Elphinstone machines.

• Addition of a template for the loader analysis report, the template adds all loader cycles used to load a truck and then displays the truck ID, the material loaded, total tons loaded, and total fuel used.

• Pressure for the steering accumulator on the 797 is now viewable in "Data logger" and "Snapshot" graphs

• VIMSpc"2003A" may need to be restarted after viewing "Real Time Parameters" before viewing Real Time Parameters on another piece of equipment.

• In the Cumulative report the "Estimated Total Fuel Used" and "Estimated Fuel Used Idling" are calculated values within VIMS and will not necessarily match the totals of the engine ECM.

• The VIMS Database Update may fail with Non- English Microsoft Windows installed.
