ASCOM Sentinel 0.9.1

Introduction

The installers are in the Assets section at the end of this release note.

ASCOM Sentinel aggregates a number of real observing conditions and safety monitor devices into a consolidated observing conditions device and a consolidated safety monitor device. In addition, it enables rules to be defined on each observing conditions property that will trigger the consolidated safety monitor to return its IsSafe property as false. See the READ_ME for further information.

Changes since previous release

• The settings file has been renamed and it will lbe necessary to configure Sentinel again.

• The configuration menu has been restructured to group feature options more intuitively.

• Gauges on the Display panel now have configurable minimum, maximum, transition points and visibility.

• Gauge configuration changes are now effective immediately and no longer require a "set values" button, which has been removed..

• Gauges can now be resized through a slider on the Display page.

• Sentinel no longer advertises a composite Switch device, this may be implemented in a future release.

• More space has been created on each page by removing the title text.

• The order in which gauges appear on the Display panel can be changed to a user selected order.

• When setting gauge order, gauges whose position numbers are identical will be highlighted.

Bug fixes

• The Mac installer background text now refers to Sentinel rather than Conform Universal.
• The navigation bar did not automatically collapse on small screen devices.

• Windows x86, x64 and ARM64
  • The Windows installer (Sentinel.X.Y.Z.Setup.exe) supports both 32bit and 64bit Intel/AMD processors as well as 64bit ARM processors. The installer will create the expected start menu entries and optionally create a desktop icon.
• MacOS
  • The MacOS application (sentinel-Installer.dmg) is supplied as a DMG file that self mounts when double clicked and displays a basic GUI. Using this you can drag and drop the application to the Applications folder and can then use it as normal.
