PLANIX firmware v1.5.26: improved and more familiar

With the latest PLANIX firmware version, 1.5.26, we aim to keep all the battery life and performance improvements delivered in version 1.5.22, but also to reintroduce the more familiar workflow and system sounds that users have come to expect from previous versions. We hope users find that this firmware version strikes a better balance.

See the full change log below:

• New: Allow firmware update while connected to external power

• Improve: Restored Ricoh Theta audio cues and volume controls

• Improve: Optimized audio cue timing (all HDR modes) for speed without compromising battery life and performance improvements

Using this version, most users will find the capture process quicker when using iGUIDE HDR modes (that is excluding External (Ricoh) and HDR Off), however your environment and capture conditions are always factors to consider.

PLANIX firmware v1.5.26 was released today, December 7th. If Stitch does not notify you automatically, it will be available to download at goiguide.com/downloads. For instructions, see the article Updating IMS-5 & PLANIX Firmware.

Extended area reporting

The Edit View page option formerly called “Include below grade in Total Area” has been renamed to “Extended area reporting”. By selecting this option, an additional Finished Area (Below Grade) total is appended to the regular RMS Total Area reported in the Details, PDF and iGUIDE Report; Finished Area (Below Grade) is defined in iGUIDE Method of Measurement to comply with ANSI Z765 2021. For example, please see below.

If you had the option “Include below grade in Total Area” selected as part of your iGUIDE Default Settings or custom banner settings, the option will remain selected under its new name.
