This new version adds support for newer units.

 

Thanks....

Why release this when toolkit is supposed to give a summary when you click on each network???

I ask as i get 2 different results using calculator and toolkit (i am sure toolkit is wrong!)

Will this be 'fixed' at some stage

Cheers

I'm glad you asked...

If you had to make a C-Bus project every time you wanted to calculate the power requirements for every C-Bus quote you ever did you would end up with hundreds of projects.

The calculator is quicker, better and probably more accurate.

I agree. A handy tool indeed, but you should have all the unit types (part #'s) there. I use the calculator often (well actually i use a custom excel doc more). However newbies are probably not adding loads on the calculator as the p/n's do not exist.

In regard to toolkit. If it displays a network summary it should be correct, mine say i have more current available than i actually have (in most cases) and consumption is usually less than is connected. Possibly a trap for young players.

Hopefully it gets a 're-visit' next time around

Guys,

I've installed the calculator a couple of times and still get Version 2.2.0 in the help screen. Is this correct ?

 

Yeah, that's right. It looks like a bit of a slip-up. If the DLT's and Universal Dimmer are there then you know it's the new version of the Calculator.

 

It wasn't a slip up but a conscious decision to reduce risk. The app hasn't be touched in years so it was deemed best to leave it that way. Only the data file was updated (and the installer).
