Titel: SiDiary V6 Beta En
Beitrag von: jlconrod am Oktober 07, 2008, 23:07
 ???

I just registered for SiDiary Beta 6.  Before I install Beta 6, an important question:

 :kratz: Can both SiDiary 5 and SiDiary 6 Beta be installed on the same PC?

I use SiDiary5W32 and SiDiaryPPC (Smartphone) constantly, testing 5-6 times daily for ICT.  I would like to test Beta 6 if it does not interfere with the existing SiDiary 5.

Is there a Beta for SiDiaryPPC?  Can Beta 6 synch with SiD5PPC?


Thanks in advance.  Hope I can participate in the Beta.  I  :knuddel: SiDiary.  Thanks, Sinovo!

Hi John,

yes you can use both versions parallel on your PC. Please put the new Beta in another folder to keep it seperate from your version 5!

Right now there is no 6beta for windows mobile - of course we are working on this! ;)
No, version 6 cannot sync with a version 5 mobile gadget since the database has been redesigned and enhanced completely.
But you can simply use your tracking machine as today and then copy the data from version 5 to 6 by using the data migration wizard from the tools menu so that you've always the most recent data in the beta package...

 :hi:

 :patsch: Thanks, Alf!  After posting this question I opened the Beta6 Zip file and read the ReadMe! -- which answered the question!!!  

 ::)  I discovered that the Beta 6 QuickStart is only in German, which I do not read (except for important phrases like :prost:!).  FYI, I used a web site to do a machine translation of German to U.S. English.

 8) Since I was formerly a Literary Editor and later a Technical Editor in Silicon Valley, I decided to try to create a Literary Edit of the QuickStart in U.S. English.  I imported the machine translated flat text file into Word 2007 and edited the machine translation into literary English.  A Draft Translation of the QuickStart in U.S. English is now in a Word97 - WordXP compatible .DOC file!

I could not find how to upload or post a document file into the forum, so I attached the Beta6 QuickStart English Draft to a private e-mail and sent it to Joerg at his Sinovo e-mail address.  (I don't think I have your e-mail address.)  In the past Joerg has given me outstanding technical support for SiDiary 5 in English -- he seems like a friend!  My e-mail with the Draft translation should be in Joerg's inbox!   I can also send it as a Word 2007 document or as a "flat file" plain ASCII text file.  Please send me your opinion from the Sinovo perspective of my translation.  Hope it is helpful!

 :dozent: After the translation, I spent a couple of hours working with Beta 6, including converting my SiDiary 5 data.  I will post my feedback, comments, and suggestions on Beta 6 in the SiDiary English Forum under Beta 6, since the "official" Beta 6 forum is in German...

 :super:  My initial brief impression of Beta 6 is Super!  

Personal regards to you, Joerg, and everyone at Sinovo!

John

P.S.:
Document file scanned...  
 

Please tell Joerg that the Word .DOC file attachment has been scanned with ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 8 and tested Virus-free and spyware-free.  It was also tested free of other malware using SpyBot S&D.

Thanks, although i do already realise this is an option.

Just feel the suggestion could make things all the more comprehensive for visits to the doctor or dietician, not to mention the possibility of building personal databases that could then be freely exchanged or added to, similar to the currently available online templates.

Thanks again...

With the PC-Version you do can build and/or extend nutrition-databases and sync them to the PPC.
Indeed adding the choosen food to the BG-grid is not available jet.

Most users, I think, just calculate with the cabs and add slow Insulin just if they have much too much fat (Pizza ;-)) - but it would also be good for type2-diabetics trying to loose weight.

LG|Adri*always requesting more features than one can code ;-)*an

Beta 6 Suggestion:

 :kratz: Could the function to add meals from the Nutrition tables be added to Beta 6?   :mahl: That would be an incredibly useful addition! 

 :mauer: Manually calculating meals from the limited selections in the Nutrition tables, has been so time-consuming that I have very few nutrition entries in my SiDiary 5 data.  

:stern: This is almost a "must have" feature for me, especially with "brittle" Type I and ICT, so possibly extreme useful for many others.

Yes, but what you haven't discovered is that this quick start is not for V6 but for V5. Sorry for this inconvenience :ka: :rotwerd:
Just have a look at the screenshots in it...

But we are working on it and the translation of the manual is still in progress. If you are interested you could prove it if it's nearly ready

Sorry for the confusion.  For some strange reason, Word 2007 does not show the graphics, so I could not see the screen shots to determine they were SiDiary 5.  Some things about Word 2007 are OK, but like Vista, for every one step forward with eye-candy, Office 2007 often has two steps backward!

I'd be happy to provide whatever input I can to the English translation of the Beta 6 Manual.

Warm personal regards,

John

 :ja: 11-Oct-2008.  I was simultaneously entering values in Beta 6 and 5 this morning when BG was only 36!  The Beta 6 prompt for Hypo event and strength is TERRIFIC!  YAY!!! -- and even clear in a -- hypo!  :banane:

However, after I select a food from  :mahl:, how do I get it into the day's data?  Where does it appear on Log page?  E.g., in 5 English  it's on the log page as Carbohy.  Couldn't see where to put the carbs in 6 or how to get them from the Foods table.  (Maybe made more complicated by hypoglycemia?)

Titel: SiDiary Beta 6 En Issues
Beitrag von: jlconrod am Oktober 10, 2008, 22:11
 :sad3: Here are a few issues encountered with Beta 6 on Vista Home Premium SP1 and printing to Word 2007:


Convert issues
Convert does not point to the correct directory for existing SiD 5 Data Files.  Initially it points to a User > ... > Roaming Data directory.  That directory has limited permission in Vista SP1, even with UAC disabled (per Microsoft Technical Support).  The actual User Profile data files are not in that directory.

When I browse to Users > [username] > SiDiary Data (or whatever is the correct directory), it does Convert correctly.  However, even with a single patient defined, it does not retrieve the Patient Name.  The Profile appears as [1].  I have to edit the Profile Name to my name.  I triend converting again, this time the Profile appeared as [2].  The actual imported data appears correct.  I have over one year of records.

If it would be helpful, I can document the exact Paths of the directory issues with Convert.

Initial Data Entry issues
I am entering data concurrently in SiDiary 5 and a separate instance of SiDiary Beta 6.  For two days I had entered data only into 5.  When I tried to enter data into Beta 6 for the previous days, I selected an earlier day.  When I entered a BG [BZ] value for that day, there was no issue entering the value or correcting the time.  However, the BG value then moved the log book day from the previous date I was trying to update back to the current day.  The value then appeared in a column for the current day rather than the prior day I was trying to edit.  When I used the Calendar function to correct the day, a prompt window with two radio buttons appeared.  (I did not get a screen capture, but will describe the issue.)

Example:  (Radio Button 1 08-{Oct}-2008 [F11], Radio Button 2 09-{Oct}-2008 [F12]).  When I pressed [F11] the date of entry did not change to 08={Oct}-2008, but stayed on the current date 10-{Oct}-2008.

Date Format issues
In the United States, the standard date format is MMDDYYY, and this my system default.  Beta 6 uses the European/International format of DDMMYYY.  I have no problem with this, and my system time format is 24-hour.  However, many, if not most, users in the UnitMMed States prefer and will use the MMDDYYYY format.  It would be preferable for Beta 6 to use the System default setting or have a Profile Option to select the desired date and time format.

Also, when the Convert Wizard starts and prompts for the Patient Birth Date, it does not specify the date format.  It would be helpful and more clear to either allow a choice of date format options, or prompt the user that the date format is DDMMYYYY.

Report issues
I am sure this is on the To-Do List, but the Report Templates are still in German in Beta 6 En.  It might be helpful to other U.S. beta testers to include a note in the ReadME.txt that English translation of the templates is forthcoming.  If it is not too time consuming, in the interim, provide a brief translation key of the German words used in the template to the English equivalent.  E.g., BZ = Blood Glucose (BG).

Print issues
I successfully printed several Beta 6 reports.  When I clicked Print, the report was spooled immediately to printer, not allowing for any printer-specific options.  For example, my Epson Stylus CX5800F Multi-Function Printer (MFP) allows dual-sided printing, which I prefer with multi-page reports.  One enhancement would be very helpful, especially in Vista, after selecting a Report Template, before printing, make a call to Windows Print Manager > Printing Preferences.

Many other applications do this, not just Microsoft products.

From Printing Preferences I can select single or two-sided printing, edge binding to top or side, and in the case of my printer, I can choose to Preview before sending the to printer, and Advanced Options such as print quality like Normal, Fine, Photo, Best Photo, Color, Grayscale, Black only, as well as a "Watermark" overprint.  For example, I use a "SiDiary Beta 6" 'watermark' on Beta 6 documents and "SiDiary" 'watermark' on SiDiary 5 documents.

At present I have to manually open Printers > Printer > Print Preferences, select the desired options, then return to Beta 6 to send the report to the printer.

When I do print a report, there is a minor issue when Word 2007 opens the selected report template.  Word 2007 prompts for the file format of template to convert it to Word 2007 docx or Word97-compatible doc format.  Conversion options include txt, etc., and I choose Import from RTF.  Word 2007 opens the document and converts it.  Word 2007 then closes, automatically reopens, and again prompts for the File Import Conversion option, and I again select RTF.  This time the document remains open in Word 2007 and I can print the report.  The report then prints correctly, using the Printer Preferences manually selected from Vista Print Manager. 

Printing Update 26 Oct 08:
Clarification on print reports with Word 2007:  The first time the report opens it formats the text only.  It may run a macro?  Word 2007 closes (to import data from Beta 6 table?) then reopens a second time.  Now the graphics are inserted and formatted.

The Trend graphic is still truncated on the bottom "Smiley" 8-|
End Update

There are no problems with the embedded graphics and tables, other than the results are in German as mentioned above.  However, even though Beta 6 is set to "lbs" for weight, the report has weight in kg.  BG levels are correctly set to mg/dl and all other values appear correct to a brief review.

Overall impression

 :super: SiDiary Beta 6 has many new and useful features.  This build has been very stable, and I am impressed with the many new and useful features.

 :sternhalb: It would be helpful to include the "magnifying glass" option from SiDiary 5 when viewing Graphs, Charts, and Trends.

More feedback after I explore Beta 6 further.

Titel: SiDiary Beta 6 Wants: Remarks suggestion
Beitrag von: jlconrod am Oktober 14, 2008, 00:42

 :sternhalb:  The Remarks entry is useful.  However, it would be even more helpful to have a Remark pinned or linked to a specific date and time entry. 

For example, I use Remarks to note comments about a BG value, health issue, or other pertinent information about a specific date and time entry.

However, when I print a report, all remarks are concatenated.  Even when I insert a date and time stamp into the Remark, it is difficult to locate which entry the remark refers to.

 ??? This may be what is intended with the Ex. field.  Will Ex. entries be pinned to a specific date and time?  If that is the case, I can use Ex. instead of Remarks.

Thanks in advance for a clarification.

I'm not sure if you are talking about the exercise field which would be appropriate for your sports entries ;)

But of course you can add a new user-defined-value with a free text datatype and enter almost everything to this cell...
(But you need to wait for print-outs since udts are currently not provided within the reporting interface...)

Hi Alf,

Thanks for your reply.

My mistake!

In the German SiDiary Beta 6 Forum today, LordBritish replied to Britta on a question about rounding.  I also have some values rounded which I prefer to set myself.

As LordBritish recommends, on the Log book page, under Settings (Gear), I selected the radio button for Manual.  Is this correct?  (See screen capture).

 :kratz: (http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6890/sidiarybetat6logbooksetbh8.th.jpg) (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sidiarybetat6logbooksetbh8.jpg)


Is there a similar setting for values that are not on the Log Book page?  For example, I track Weight in lbs., to the nearest half pound.  When I enter an odd point value, e.g., (.0, .5, etc.) it is rounded to an even value.  If I enter 172.5 for lbs., it is rounded to 172.6.

Many thanks to Andi and Joerg for the image manager links and greetings to all,

Hello jlconrod

How do I insert a JPG image in a Post?  Windows Clipboard does not seem to work.  The Image button only inserts the BB code, not the image?  Thanks for clarification.

I can tell you my using to insert Pics into postings :ja:

- Go to http://picr.de/
- there you can select your local stored picture in step "1" ...
- "1. Bild(er) auswählen" :)
- Select your Pic with the button "Durchsuchen ..."
- in Step "2. Zusätzliche Optionen" you can select any password for your Pic for later erasing => "Passwort zum späteren Löschen"
- in Step "3. Rechtliches" you declare, that you are the owner of the pic. You also declare, that the pic is not illegal, or has porn content or has no problematic themes ...
- If you understand this, you can mark the checkbox "Gelesen, verstanden und akzeptiert?" :ja:

I don't know, if there is a similar page with english text :hilfe:

The above Service stores your pic and gives you a BB-link return, to use it in a forum like here :)

John, we are currently working on the translation of all additional materials, including the manual which has also the appropriate information about the udts.

I would suggest to simply add a new udt and play around a bit with it. Basically you can add new rows to the log-book screen and track additional (almost all) parameters...

Hi Alf,

Thank you for the update on translation of Beta 6.

 :compi: Using your suggestion and Google Translate, I have played with UDT.  I added a data field Medications with key Meds.  At present it just has one value Ibuprofen 600mg.

The field now appears on my Log Book pages, and as I desired, is properly fixed to the entry Date and Time, similar to an Event.  The field works properly for data entry in the Log Book, at least with the single test entry tried.

 :super: Custom UDTs look like they will be very useful.  This is a wonderful addition to Beta 6!  As I work with UDTs, I will post notes in SiDiary Beta 6 En.

Working with UDTs reminds me of designing and programming relational database in the early days of PCs!

 :dozent: As I mentioned to Joerg, as a retired Technical Editor, I will be happy to assist with editing the English translation of Beta 6 if needed.

*Ouch*

Actually that isn't a rounding issue but a conversion issue with a loss of information because of a poor resolution... :o  ???

SiDiary ist storing the tracked data with standard units, i.e. the bg levels are always saved as numerical values in mg/dl even if the user is using mmol/l for the GUI. That is to avoid problems if the user needs to switch the unit when he already has some data in the other unit.
Regarding the bodyweight: It will be saved as a metric value and to avoid problems with different decimal chars (dot or comma) on different system we decided to save the weight not as kilogram but as a multiplication with 10 and skip the decimals. I.e. 75,5 kg will be saved as 755 and on loading data it will be converted for the GUI to 75,5.

And that's the problem because the resolution of 1 decimal place for metric unit isn't enough for values in lbs...

We need to change that in the next release...

 :gruebeln: That explains why the status line at that bottom of the Log Book screen sometimes shows "mmol/l" momentarily, even though mg/dl is selected.  Other screens and reports are formatted as mg/dl as desired, so no problem.

We need to change that in the next release...

 ;) Aha!  I understand.  It is not a problem for me.  I'll just remember that in the meanwhile, until the next release.

Hope my feedback is helpful.  Is the image resolution sufficient for the screen capture posted below?

Glad to participate in the Beta 6 test!

John

:gruebeln: That explains why the status line at that bottom of the Log Book screen sometimes shows "mmol/l" momentarily, even though mg/dl is selected.  Other screens and reports are formatted as mg/dl as desired, so no problem.

No that is something completely different! The status bar has an "automatic calculator". It will always do a bg unit calculation for _any_ input field, i.e. if you have configured your profile to use mmol/l you can put the input cursor to any textbox (even if this textbox is designed for tracking something completely different) enter a value and the calclulator will show the number from the input field in mg/dl (regardless if the field was initially built for let's say a text remark. The status bar calculator does not look at the purpose of a textbox, it just takes the absolute number from it and do his simple calculation)...

I look forward to the translation of the User manual and other materials to make full use of the marvellous features of 6!

As a Technical Editor, I used to have a joke: When all else fails, read the manual! (RTFFM) ;D

More and more Beta 6 =  :winner:

Titel: SiDiary Beta6 En: BG entry near Virtual Day boundary disappears
Beitrag von: jlconrod am Oktober 24, 2008, 21:31
 :gruebeln:
SiDiary Beta 6 En New Bug? Update 25-Oct-08

SiDiary Beta 6 En Profile is set to Virtual Day to help with control of Type I ICT and post-midnight BG tests.  I have encountered a problem when entering a BG value after Real Day midnight.  When I click Save on the Log Book page, the entry completely disappears -- time, BG value, and Insulin dosage.

 :staun: The pop-up box with two radio buttons appeared:  [F11] for the prior "Real" day (23 Oct), [F12] for the current "Real" day (24 Oct).  I selected the radio button by F11.  When I pressed the [F11] key nothing happened.  I cleared the entries and repeated the process but the data still disappeared and neither F11 nor F12 had any effect.  The data entries disappeared.

This happens most times whenever the reading time is after midnight.  When I discovered that the data entry "moves" to the real time previous day as intended when using Virtual Day, I thought the problem was resolved.  However, last night the entry disappeared and did not appear on the previous day, nor on any graphics such as the line graph or detail statistics.

 :kreisch: I completely closed SiDiary Beta 6 En, including the System Tray.  I then relaunched Beta 6, opened Log Book, and tried the entry again.  The data entries again disappeared.

This morning, after restarting the Vista SP1 PC, I launched Beta 6.  I tried changing the late night event time from the actual 0105 to 0110.  In this instance the data remained, appearing on the current day but at the correct early AM time.

 :sternhalb: Late night post-midnight entries are often test times for me, so this is an important issue.

Update: 

 :kratz: The Graphics > Line Graph > with Show Bolus and Basal checked revealed that the apparently missing data appeared on a previous day, 22 Oct.  There were several duplicated entries for BG Bolus and Basal with 0100 or 0105 time stamps.  The clue was duplicated Bolus bars on the BG graphic.  I clicked the bar for the duplicated Bolus and Beta 6 opened the Log Book to the date of the Bolus.  I then had to manually delete the duplicates, which apparently happened when I click the [F11] key but the entry did not seem to appear on 23 Oct.

After I deleted the duplicated entries, the data automatically moved to the correct 23 Oct date.

Hope this helps with the debugging process.

John

Beta 6 (En) Graphics Suggestion:

I find it very useful in the Line Graph to plot Bolus and Basal insulin against BG level.   :anfeuer: This is a wonderful addition to Beta 6!

However, it is not as useful because of the narrow bar width of Bolus and Basal values.  This makes it very difficult to read.  It would be helpful to be able to customize bar width on the x axis, and possibly scale height on the y axis.  Is this possible, or would it be necessary to build a custom add-in to accomplish this?

 :preisen: Thanks, and keep up the great work!

 :sternhalb: The existing issue with Virtual Day still exists with Build 1123.  The [F11] or [F12] radio buttons do not update on the Log Book, or do not seem to respond.  In some instances, the BG values appear on a day earlier than the [F11] day.  It seems to work sometimes when the BG is entered on the date that would be [F12].  In that case the data seems to disappear from the actual day, but do appear on the after midnight hours of the previous day.  In other words, they properly migrate to the late hours on the Virtual Day if entered into the Log Book on the Real Day after midnight.

Well actually that is a problem because all data-points or lines are scaled down to the x-axis which means the insulin shots and BE intake are just small peaks while the blue exercise rectangles can grow with the duration.

Increasing the width of the peaks for insulin and carb intakes have potential for misinterpretation: One could think that the width should show something like the acting time of the insulin instead of simply the timestamp of the insulin shot...

Your point about misinterpretation is a good one. It seemed to me that Beta 6 was using the line width for both BG and insulin plots, so I suspected this would be an issue.

Long ago I did mixed scale graphs in Excel and Lotus 1-2-3 ( :compi: ), but never in C++ or VB.  I know just enough to get into trouble.

Hi Alf,

 :gruebeln: Before extracting the latest build to "install" it, I had terminated SiDiary6 and it did not appear in the system tray.  However, when I encountered the error, I checked Task Manager to find SiDiary6 still running there.  After terminating Beta6 with Task Manager, the extract worked fine.  The new build of Beta 6 is now my current version.

 :balla: FYI, even after successfuly installing the newest build, I have found using Terminate from the Menu or System Tray does not fully close Beta 6.  It is still running in Task Manager.  I have to use Task Manager > Processes to fully terminate Beta 6.

Beta 6 En Build 1130 Graph > Weight misplaced decimal point

The internal conversion from kg to lbs in Build 1130 (or possibly carried over from 1123) seems to have a misplaced decimal point.

I discovered this while using Line Graph > Weight.  For example, a weight of 172.5 lbs. plots as 17.2 lbs.  Clicking on the data point opens Log Book to the appropriate date, with the same incorrect weight value displayed there as well.

When I edit the Log Book to the correct weight, in this example 172.5, (the value recorded in SiDiary5 PC for that date), and Save the change, the Line Graph is also properly updated to the 172.5 value.

 ??? New weight entries seem to post correctly.  I am not sure why there are issues with weights that had been entered in Build 1123.

Hi John,

sorry this information was missing here in the English thread: I must have changed the design for storing the weight value so that the precision of this field is sufficient for the lbs values but this had the implication that all previously stored weight values are now too small (divided by 10) since I have no "migration routine" for this change.

Basically that means that you need to adjust the previously entered weight records to the right value (multiplied by 10) i.e. by using the datalist, filtered for weight records only (or just migrate your V5 data a second time).

Sorry I forgot to drop here a line too about this requirement...

Sorry I forgot to drop here a line too about this requirement...

Thanks for the update, Alf.

 8) No problem, I'll update the older values manually.  They are easy to find using Line Graph > Weight, then clicking the data points that need correction.  Anyone else who needs to make these corrections may find this tip usefule.

Personal regards,

John

Hi Alf,

This is an update on the Beta 6 En weight value issue.  I tried migrating V5 data to another profile in V6 1130.  The migrated data was also incorrect but by an unknown multiplication or division factor. 

 :kratz:Migrated weight values were in the 800 range, rather than the expected range of  170 - 180 lbs .

 Hi Alf,

 :o I also got the unusual Update Assistant message.  My message on Beta 6 1135 En showed current version and new version both as 1135.

I Google Translated the recent German posts about this issue.  (although a few words like angefetzten did not translate).  I understand you are working from home without full resources, so will wait till you are back in the office.  Please post a note here in English when you have more information available.

 :winke: Finally back on the Forum again.

 :mauer: A problem with Vista Home Premium after SP1 forced a full Factory Restore of my PC.  I then, of course, had to reinstall all my personal applications (those not preloaded by HP).  I am NOT a big fan of Vista, but my now year old "new" system was available only with Vista. 

Unfortunately, the problem is not fully fixed yet.  MSoft is sending me a new Vista Installation DVD with SP1 for an "in-place" upgrade.  G-r-r-r! :schimpf:

Today I downloaded and updated to Beta 6 Build 1154.  After just a few minutes use, Build 1154 looks good!

I understand that the English Help files will be coming before to long.  No problem for me.

 :dozent: Please be sure to also translate the Print Templates to English!  It would also be helpful if the Print Template macros allowed setting printer preferences before spooling directly to the printer.   For example, I prefer to print my SiDiary Beta 6 reports two-sided to save paper (and the environment).  Two test prints came out fine, other than German language labels and single sided printing.  I'll post more details later after a more thorough review.  I tried the NovoStyle and "Standard-Farbe-mit-Grafiken" reports.

 :super: I like DirectPrint.  It works well printing to my Epson CX5800F All-in-one, at least with a couple of quick tests.

Warm regards to all.

John

Now running Build 1161

WinZIP extract with use folder list and overwrite existing files worked fine.

SiDiary6PPC

Used drag and drop to copy v6PPC from my Vista Home Premium SP1 laptop to my HP iPAQ hx2495b WM6 WindowsMobile 6.1 PDA.  Because there is no installer, I used the PPC File Explorer to browse to file and launch it.  v6PPC works fine on my iPAQ (other than the obvious fact that it is German only!).

The synch function to Beta6PC seems to work, but there isn't any real data to synch because of a Data Migration issue with Build 1161 PC.

Beta6PC Build 1161

 :boese: Encountered several new issues with PC 1161.

 :kratz: Data Migration completed, but the last two weeks of data from SiDiary5 PC do not show in the migrated Profile.  Older data does appear in the migrated Profile Log Book and Statistics.

 ??? Profile Manager (Delete Profiles).  This does not consistently delete older profiles.  Some times I had to close Build 1161 PC and restart it before a profile was deleted.  Other profiles do not delete, although no error appears after selecting and deleting an unwanted profile.

 :gruebeln: Terminating Build 1161 using Terminate from the Menu closes the application, but it still appears in the System Tray.  Terminating Build 1161 from the System Tray closes the SysTray icon, but Task Manager shows it is still running.  I have to use Task Manager > Terminate Process or Terminate Process Tree to close SiDiary6.

Overall, Build 1161 seems stable, but the data migration "glitch" and problems with deleting Profiles limits useability.

Do I  understand correctly from the German Beta 6 Forum that a newer build will be posted in a couple of days?  Can I use Beta6PC Update to download the latest Build or should I go to web download link for Beta6?

Thanks to all.  Hope this helps and hope you are feeling better from the Flu bug, Alf!  :prost:

>Data Migration completed, but the last two weeks of data from SiDiary5 PC do not show in the migrated Profile. Older data does appear in the migrated Profile Log Book and Statistics.

It seems that there is something special with your data (not _that_ special since another German user has reported a similiar thing but at least something uncovered yet ;) ). I ran a migration on my own data a second ago and I've got all data within V6. Could you please email me the content of your V5 data-folder so that I'm able to debug the migration? I assume that there should be a special entry within V5 on the day the migration interupted -that means 2 weeks ago?

>Profile Manager (Delete Profiles).  This does not consistently delete older profiles.  Some times I had to close Build 1161 PC and restart it before a profile was deleted.  Other profiles do not delete, although no error appears after selecting and deleting an unwanted profile.

I wasn't able to reproduce that behaviour too. Do you have additional folders within the patient's folder? Please make shure that you don't have an Explorer window browsing the patient you want SiDIary to delete! Because this would set a lock in the filesystem and SiDiary could not delete the folder. When SiDiary tried to delete the patient and didn't show an error message please look at the patient data folder with the Explorer. If the folder is totally empty there was another lock on the folder. If there are files or folders remaining please let me know.
Perhaps tools like "Unlocker" can help to detect which app has locked a folder...

>Terminating Build 1161 using Terminate from the Menu closes the application, but it still appears in the System Tray.  Terminating Build 1161 from the System Tray closes the SysTray icon, but Task Manager shows it is still running.  I have to use Task Manager > Terminate Process or Terminate Process Tree to close SiDiary6.

Again I wasnt able to reproduce such behaviour?! Which application windows are currently open when you tried to shut down the application? Please look at the Task-Manager activity column before you kill SiDiary's app tree: Perhaps SiDiary is doing some cleanup jobs on termination?!

>Do I  understand correctly from the German Beta 6 Forum that a newer build will be posted in a couple of days?  Can I use >Beta6PC Update to download the latest Build or should I go to web download link for Beta6?

The newer build will come only if there are new issues fixed. There is the smartphone version coming within the next days...

I'm not quite sure how to edit the quote above, but here is an update, responding to you, Alf, in the same order as your questions.

 :super: Now running Build 1162!

With Joerg's help, I was able to resolve an issue with SiDiary 5 PC and a lost password or username for the Online DatabaseSiDiary 5 PC again synchs properly, both with Online and with my HP iPAQ hx2495b Windows Mobile 6 "PocketPC" PDA.

 :banane: I am not sure if the synch with Online Database helped with the 1161 Data Migration issue, but Data Migration with Build 1162 was successful.  All data as of 1210 today 05 Feb 2009 now appears in the Log Book! 

As you requested, I did send my data files by GMail to info (at) sinovo, and, after logging in to SiDiary Online, using Beta 6 Build 1161.  The GMail attachment was modified as suggested by Joerg, so it should not be blocked by the Mail Server.

Build 1162 Data Migration Wizard
The Data Migration Wizard automatically found the SiDiary 5 PC data files and (as mentioned above) successfully converted all data.  I did notice a small point with Data Migration.  The converted Patient Profile this time did not have a patient name, only the check box and [1] for a patient name.  However, when I selected Patient [1], all the data appeared.  I then used the Profile Wizard to change the Patient Name, enter regimen, birth date, and so forth.

As I have mentioned many times, it would be very helpful to have a note about the format of the birth date (dd/mm/yyy) vs the North American standard of mm/dd/yyyy.  Otherwise, without prompting, a North American user would inadvertently enter a birth date equivalent of 06 August 19xx when the actual birth date was 08 June 19xx.

Patient Profile Wizard
Patient Profile Wizard works well.  However, when asking for a Patient Name, it does not differentiate between Last Name and First Name, but concatenates the specified name on a single line.  I had to edit the Patient Profile to enter Last Name and First Name separately.

For test purposes, I add the Build number after the last name to make it easy to determine the Build when printing reports, etc.  For example, my current active Patient Profile is Conrod 1162, John.

Print Reports
In the past I have commented several times that Print Reports seemed to spool reports immediately to the default printer, especially with Word 2007.  I had asked to instead spool reports to the Print Manager so custom Printer Preferences could be used.  (I.e., dual sided printing, printer "watermarks", etc.)  You can disregard those old comments.

 :compi: I discovered that if I used the Preview function from the SiDiary 6 Print Menu, the Word RTF report template does use Print Manager when the file is opened in Word 2007.  If I use Print > Preview reports from Beta 6, Word 2007 opens the report rather than just spooling the RTF directly to the printer.  I then can use the Word 2007 Print Menu to specify any desired Printer Preferences such as dual sided printed as I desired.

I suggest adding this feature or explanation of SiDiary 6 Print > Previewto the Print Function in the User Manual.

Print > PDF produces a Windows Print Manager error that no PDF printer is installed.

Note:  All test Reports were printed to my Epson Style CX5800F All-in-One Inkjet Printer, Scanner, Copier, Photo Printer, Fax on U.S. Standard 8-1/2 x 11 Portrait layout inkjet paper.

Report Templates

Standard-Farbe-mitGrafiken.rtf
Obviously, the Patient Profile header in the Report is still in German.  The RTFs need to be translated to English, and a few terms converted such as BZ to BG, and BE to BP.

Otherwise, formatting and printing continues to work well.  The Graphs also print properly, even using dual-sided printing.

 :gruebeln: The Weight Graph is mislabelled as Insulin/Pills.

It would be helpful to have the Bar Chart included in this Report Template.

NovoStyle.rtf
 :anfeuer:  NovoStyle report is fine.  The labels in the BG Charts are already in English!

Trend graphic:  Date range line is in German, needs to be translated to English.

All other Graphs print perfectly and except for Trend date range, appear in English.

Overall initial response to Build 1162:   :winner:

Warm regards,

John

I'd say this is no big deal because usually you need the conversion only one time.

I don't have written any not yet because I think this is an important issue and should be able to set in the program settings (like time 24h v.s. am/pm)

Or you write it like 'Last Name, First name' (Comma seperated). However: at minimum there should be an explanation

In this case - as you have discovered - you should press 'Print' but 'Preview'. Then the report will be opened in your text system (like MS Word) and you can print it from there. And there - of course - you can choose the printer. I will write this as a tip in the manual/online help.

Because of I don't think that the main group of SiDiary users have so much printers we should use this option as build.

More on Build 1162 En and SiD6PPC

Print Reports (English)

 :compi: As Alf suggested, I copied the RTF templates from SiDiary5PC EN to the Templates directory of SiD6 PC EN 1162.  The Patient Profile and all row and columns labels are now in English, as expected!  All but one Graphic print correctly.

 :gruebeln: Statistics - All Values error
Graph label is correct, but previewed and printed reports have blank image space holder.  The actual graphic does not appear, just the blank image space holder.  The problem seems to occur in all report formats that use Statistics - All Values.

 ??? DirectPrint
Graphics print fine, although immediately spooled to printer in Portrait mode.  The BG Graphic in DirectPrint would be better in Landscape mode, though this is a minor point.  It it not obvious if it is possible to Preview with DirectPrint, thus enabling Printer Preferences selection.

Image Preview
Because there are no images for some of the English Templates, No Preview Available shows when the Template is highlighted for selection.  Just add to ToDo List :)

NovoStyleColorized
When this Template is opened in Word 2007, only the cell references appear in the document, not the values referenced.  For example, the first header appears as " [list_START_1][TAG] ".  Each cell contains the TAG, not the value.

NovoStyle (standard), on the the other hand, works and prints fine.

 :knatschig: Microsoft VisualBasic errors with Word 2007
When using Word 2007, most of the RTF Templates produce one or two Microsoft Visual Basic errors:

Compile error in hidden module: AZWizardModul and / or
Compile error in hidden module: AutoNew

The document then does open properly, and the only issue I've discovered so far is with NovoStyleColorized, above.  I have not tested all templates, but have focussed on those I use most frequently, StandardColorWithGraphs and NovoStyle.  I also tried GraphicsOnly, which was fine other than Statistics - All Values.

Print PDF Right-Click
As soon as I tried using Right-Click on the PDF button, as suggested, the custom PDF options become obvious!  If this is not already noted in the User Manual and Help file, it would be an very useful addition!

Microsoft Save as PDF Word addin
I downloaded and installed Microsoft's Save as PDF addin for Word 2007.  It works fine with Word 2007 and SiDiary PC Build 1162 The PDF file produced by the addin prints perfectly from Adobe Reader 9.

PDF995
 :taenzchen: PDF995 seems to be a great low-cost or "free" source for most things PDF-related!  What a great addition to the PDF Right-Click context menu!  Thanks for the reference.

I have downloaded all of the freeware/advertising sponsored ware from PDF995.  I have not yet installed them, but will post my responses about using this with SiDiary6 when I do install the PDF995 programs.

The program launches on my HP iPAQ hx2495b WM5 PDA using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1Synch to PC and From PC does show Slave Mode on the PDA, but synchronized data from Build 1162 does not appear in the Log Book of SiDiary6 PPC.  There is only a blank Log Book page.  Is this because 6PPC is only in German?  There are no errors appearing in 6PPC or Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

Zitat

SiDIary is using the locale settings from your windows configuration. So you can enter date values in exactly your prefferred format while users from UK will use theirs...

I believe my Locale settings for time are mm/dd/yyyy. I will confirm this.  Input on Patient Profile > Birth Date is consistently formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.

Zitat
If you right-click the PDF button you will always open the selection of the preferred PDF-tool. There's a button for downloading such tools, including free PDF-printer drivers


 :preisen: Wow, this is great - especially the included web links!  Be sure this is in User Manual and Help files.


Zitat
Please copy the english equivalents of the standard-reports from your V5 installation. They are fully compatible and translated completely.

Done! -- and they work great.  How easy was that!?!

Zitat
It would be helpful to have the Bar Chart included in this Report Template.

It can already be referenced but I need to lookup the placholder's name. Anyway the next beta-download package will have some new reports.

I will check the other (language) issues...

I look forward to the new reports in the next build!

Zitat
Thanks John!

You are very welcome!

As always, personal regards,

John

 :sternhalb: SiDiary 6 PPC.Net, V6.0.104

 :compi: A corrected update on SiDiary Beta 6 PPC running with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Synch to my HP iPAQ hx2495b WM5 PPC PDA.  Synch is set To PC and From PC.

Profil
Fine, other than all in German (since it is the German version!)  :D

Übersicht
 :knatschig: No data is shown on the "Log Book" page.

Statistik
 :patsch: Because the menus are in German, I needed to use "hit or miss" navigation to discover that I needed to use Auswertungstyp to select and display the graphs. However, the Graphs all seem to have valid and current data.

Kuchendiagramm
Pie chart works fine!

Standardtag
Scatter graph works perfectly, too.

Statistik
Detail statistics, no problem.

Verlaufsgrafik
Line graph is good, too (other than the fact that it does show my personal erratic StdDev from "brittle Diabetes".  Info is correct,  but guess we can't completely reprogram my body.  :-\

Blutdr.
"Keine Werte!" -- but only because I do not have enough valid data...

Gewicht
Also "Keine Werte!" because of a lack of data.

Trend Tab
 ??? Tab displays properly.  However, even though there is underlying data as shown by the Graphs, all values in Trend display ?.

Zeitraum (Sorry, my comment is out of the correct Menu order. Zeitraum is actually OK in the Menu structure)
Again with hit or miss selection, I discovered that Zeitraum is for the date range.  Beta 6 PC allows additional date selections of 1 Week and 1 Day.  It seems that Beta 6 PPC.Net starts with a date range of 2 Weeks, correct?  A selection of 1 Week would be helpful.

Einstellg.
This works properly, too.

Hi John,

you can use the SiDiaryEn.txt file from the Beta6-Subfolder \SiDiary\Language and copy that file to the SiDIaryPPC6.exe folder, After restarting the app, you will have most of the GUI in English too, perhaps there are some new elemnts missing in the translation package...

Combination of SiDiaryEn.txt and editing SiDiary.ini Works


I used WM Device Center > File Management > Browse files... to open an Explorer Window on the PDA,  I then copied SiDiaryEn.txt from Beta 6 EN 1162 to \Program Files\SiDiary6PPC (the directory on the PDA with PPC6).  That did not seem to make a difference.  After terminating Beta6PPC and "launching" a new instance (by double-clicking the executable using PPC File Explorer), the GUI was still in German.

 :dozent: It occurred to me that it might be an issue with the SiDiary.ini on the PPC.  I edited the .ini to read Sprache=EN.  Under Vista, I did not have permission to save the edited .ini directly to the PPC, even as an Administrator-equivalent account.

Based on my experience with Vista, I saved the EN-version .ini to the PC, used Windows Explorer to copy the edited .ini to the clipboard, opened the PPC folder again using WM Device Center > File Management > Browse files..., and then pasted the "new" SiDiary.ini to \Program Files\SiDiary6PPC.  This method permitted overwriting the DE-verson .ini with the EN-version .ini.

Finally, in the open File Explorer window on the PDA I double-clicked SiDiary6PPC.  Oila!SiDiary6PPC in English!  :anfeuer:

 :preisen: Thanks for the suggestion! 

FYI: 
BG-Grid
English labels, but the cells are still blank.

Statistics
Other reports seems to still work fine

Trend
Still just "?" for the Trend Arrows and Rating Smileys.  We can tell from the Statistics reports that the data is there and being Synched.

 ??? Settings
Two radio buttons at bottom of page are still in German:
Spalten auf Tabelle vertellen
Spalten linksbudig anordnen

Just fine!

BTW:  SiDiary5 PPC.Net is installed on the SD Card in \SD Card\Program Files\SiDiary

Warm regards with thanks again for the suggestion and quick response!  More later after some sleep (It's 0400 local).  ::)

Duh!  Sometimes the obvious escapes me!  I restored the SiDiary.ini with sprach=DE, then copied it to the SiDiary6PPC directory on the PDA.  When I selected Language=English there it was!

Zitat
Trend is also just working fine on my systems: Are you sure about the selected time ranges?


Trend
The time range selection for Trend was not easy to determine in German. 
 
:super: Now with English GUI, Trend does show an appropriate rating with Time Ranges of 2 Weeks through 3 Months.  Trend still displays Question Marks (?) when One Week is selected, even though there is data for the current and prior weeks.

Statistics and Synch Settings
 :balla: I discovered that there is only data for about the last 10 weeks (about Jan 2009) on the PDA.  This does not change when I set Synch to All Data or manually select 01Jan08 or earlier dates to Synch, then refresh the To PC/From PC Synch to the iPAQ.  The Synch shows on the PC and SiDiary6PPC.Net shows slave mode.  However, it seems to update only about 9 or 10 weeks of data, at present 235 values.

I confirmed this viewing Statistics > Line Graph with various date ranges.

By comparison, my SiDiary5PC (and 5PPC.Net) have a total of 2001 (two thousand) values, starting about 28 July  2007.

FYI, I requested all data for the Beta6 1162 Data Migration/Conversion.

BG-Grid > Menu > Data types
Add to translation ToDo list ;)

The Data types selection submenu is still in German.  Neu is bold.  Ändern and Löschen are grayed out.

 :prost: SiDiary6 Build 1163 and SiDiary6PPC.Net Build 108

First Impression

New templates, Nutrition data, PPC 1 Day and 1 Week reports, improved Synch!  Wow!  ;D

Synch  :balla:
At first synch, the Nutrition database update stalled.  I disconnected the PPC, closed 6PC 1163 and found that I still had PPC.Net 104 installed.  I copied the new PPC.Net 108 to the PDA.  A new synch completed the Nutrition db update.  Data synch completed, but data was incomplete compared to DAT files in PC 1163.

Changing synch ranges did not fix the issue.  I then manually copied the 6 1163 DAT files to the PDA data directory.  I terminated and restarted PPC.Net 108.  The date ranges now synch properly.

PPC.Net 108  :winner:

Profile
Continues to work well.

BG-Grid
Good news!  I now have current and historical data populating BG-Grid.  I did notice that the time fields show only on columns that have data.  The full grid is displayed, just columns with no data have a blank time.  This does not look like an error; more likely the result of an optimal synch, only updating fields as needed.  Correct?

Statistics
1 Day and 1 Week reports appear.  However, translate 1 Tag and 1 Woche for the EN version.  Pie Chart selection 1 Woch reports questionable results. It shows only 1 (one) value during the time range.  Correct response should be 27 according to 6PC 1163.  This error also seems to occur with other graphs with 1 Woch time range selected.

Statistics Reports - All Values date range
Other date ranges display properly.  All Values date range reports No values! for all Graphs tested so far.  There is data from July 2007.

Trend
Trend values display properly for all data ranges, including 1 Day and 1 Week.  The 1 Day and 1 Week time range selections appear in English :) !

Settings
No problems!  Radio buttons at bottom of page now in English, Left-align columns selected.

©
This is OK as well and shows V 6.0.108

SiDiary6PC 1163
New templates look good and are excellent additions.  Should prove very useful!

Visual Basic Errors persist using Word 2007
Word 2007 still gives VB errors Compile error in Module Autonew and AZWizardModul.  BTW, 1163 Templates directory is in the Word 2007 Trust Center as Trusted.

Template Graphic mislabelled  ???
Several of the templates display Weight graph.  This is mislabelled as Insulin Pills.  Alternatively, the Insulin/Pills graph displays Weight.

More later as I work with PC 1163 and PPC.Net 108.

Overall, the updates look fantastic and generally work well.

Warm regards and congratulations on the latest "Zack"!  Well done!

SiDiary Beta6 PC 1163

Templates

StandardFarbeMitGrafiken (sp?)
After review, I found that the Trend graph does not have the smiley for Post-Prandial results.  The embedded image size is a little too small vertically, so the Post-Prandial portion of the graphic image is cropped out.  I think this happens with all Templates that include Trend.  My paper size is U.S. 8-1/2"x11" Portrait is a little shorter vertically than A4, if that has any effect on page layout.

Tagebuch  :prost:
Great!  I really like the 3D perspective image of the wire binding rings!  Looks good, prints perfectly.  It might be helpful if Weight was associated with the specific date it was entered.

Logbook
Sometimes when Synch occurs before a Save while still entering data such as BG, Bolus, etc., the column is refreshed with blank data.  This clears the timestamp, BG value, or other pending data.  I have set the Synch refresh to 120 seconds to minimize the impact.  Otherwise I have to enter one item, Save, then enter the next value, Save, etc.  That is somewhat tedious in the middle of a BG exam.


SiDiary Beta6 PPC.Net

Vertical Scroll Bar: 
This just may be a setting on my portrait oriented touch screen iPAQ, but the vertical scroll bar on the right of the screen covers the right-most time column.

Slave-Mode: 
The Slave-Mode notification remains on the PDA screen even when Synch is not refreshing.  In other words, it seems that Slave-Mode is active all the time the PDA is connected to the PC.  Is this intentional?


 :stern: Overall, PC 1163 and PPC.Net 108 are very functional.

I'll continue to check for updates to watch for newer Templates and retest the Macro function errors.  Joerg, this is not a big rush on my side because the templates print properly despite the VB compile errors.

Warm regards,

John

SiDiaryBeta6 PC EN Build 1164 and SiDiary6 PPC.Net EN Build 109

The changelog is exciting, with several updates I look forward to testing and using!

Extract to existing PC 1163
At first I extracted Build 1164 to the same working directory as Build 1163, with option to overwrite existing files.  When I launched PC 1164 there were a couple of errors as it loaded.

Detailed Logbook page opened with all data.  I browsed several "tabs" with no issues. (?) showed Build 1164. 

 :gruebeln: I next tried Check for Update, but received an error:  Update Check Webcall timeout for IsUpdateAvailable.

PC.Net Build 109
I copied the files from 1164\Install\PPC to the PDA.  When I launched PPC.Net on the PDA it loaded with no problem.  (?) showed Build 109.

Slow Synch
When I docked the PDA and connected to the PC, the Synch started but took a very long time. 

The Synch Settings and Details screens are in English.  However, the Synch Status box that appears while synching is in German.

The longest delay was synching Nutrition.DAT, although that might be expected with a large file.

 :balla: The synch ended with an error:  'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\SiDiary\Data\Nutrition\EN\Nutrition.DAT' not found.

 :staun: Note:  Updated 15 Feb 2009  Nutrition.DAT does exist in the specified directory.

Extract PC Build 1164 to different Drive and Directory

In case the automatic overwrite of files from the first extract had caused mixed or corrupted files that caused or contributed to the errors, I next extracted Build 1164 to a different drive and directory.

 :gruebeln:  However, the clean extract instance of PC Build 1164 produced the same errors.  Synch continued to be very slow and still had the Nutritions.DAT not found error.

PPC.Net Build 109 with new extraction of PC 1164
I had entered new BG Bolus and Basal data at 0545 today using PC Build 1163 and synched successfully to PPC.Net Build 108.

 :kratz: Perhaps because of the missing Nutrition.DAT error, when the synch completed, PPC.Net 109 did not show a new test entered in the PC 1164 Detailed Logbook.

Another attempt to synch caused the Synch box to stop responding.  Both PC 1164 and PPC.Net 109 then closed, probably by Vista.

 :knatschig: I rebooted, but the same slow synch with resulting Nutrition.DAT error did not successfully synch the 1145 test from PC 1164 to PPC.Net 109.

New Templates
Because of the synch errors, I have not yet tested the revised Templates!  (Joerg, I promise I will -- and look forward to them!)  :knuddel:

Warm regards,

John

One or two of the templates had one or two lines in German.  I mainly previewed the templates, so will post later after further review with details on the items in German.

Since we have changed the handling of templates I think it's not so easy: The names of the "physical" files are still in german, but they show names in english because this names are specified in the xml for every template.

Now running V6PC 1165 and PPC.Net 110

 :knatschig: V6PC 1165 Update Check
As Alf already noted in the German V6 Forum, Update Check reports I have  ...Build 1165  and a newer version of 1165 is available on the Server.

 :patsch: Don't you hate manual hard coding !?!  ;D  (Don't worry, I'll watch for the next *Zack*).

Synch between V6PC 1165 and PPC.Net 110
 :duck: The PPC.Net 110 Detail Logbook does not update properly from PC Build 1165 after a Save and Synch.  I still get the missing Nutrition.DAT error after Synch.

Vista Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 File Sync???
 :compi:  I thought it might be a conflict between Vista Windows Mobile Device Manager 6.1 and V6PC 1165 Synch Detail Settings..  I discovered that V6 Synch adds all the files specified in Details to the Mobile Device Manager Synch Files settings.

After a little hit or miss testing, I found that if I delete each of the SiDiary PC files specified from the Mobile Device Manager Synch Files list (even when 6PPC is still running), then have V6 PC synch again, the PC Logbook entries then update properly on the PPC.Net 110 Detail logbook.

It seems there are really only two or three specific files in Windows Mobile Device Center Files Synch that are at issue.  I'll take better notes, and post the specific files in question in a separate post.  Nutrition.DAT is definitely one issue, but I'll test further to fine the other one or two conflicting files.

This issue may be specific to Vista SP1/Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.  Is anyone else having synch issues with XP?

Have not rechecked the new Templates yet.  Been busy on the home front.  Sorry!

BTW, a very belated Happy (Sugar-Free) Valentine's Day to all.

MS ActiveSync updates after each file is deleted from the File Sync List.

Now running V6PC 1166 and V6PPC.Net 111 on Vista Home Premium SP1

My download link for V6 Beta was buried deep in my Favorites folder, but fortunately I found it, then downloaded from the saved Favorite. 

 :hilfe: If the Beta extends to more builds, it would be helpful to post the link to the download page on the Beta 6 and Beta 6 EN forums.  That would also help the confusion with newer Beta Testers when the end of month expiry occurs.  That would also allow reading the changelog for the current build number and update notes.

SmartSync error
 :kratz: The first SmartSync gave the missing Nutrition.dat error.  I then tried the workaround method of deleting Nutrition.dat and other files from Windows Mobile Device Center Sync files.  However, with PC 1166 and PPC.Net 111, the data still did not update on the PDA.

I finally used SmartSync > Details to delete the PDA device hx2495b from SmartSync.  After a refresh, SmartSync again found the hx2495b.  I selected the PDA and set the details to Sync To and From the PC.  I closed details, then click the sync icon at the bottom right of PC 1166.  SmartSync then completed and updated the PPC.Net device.

SmartSync 'Searching for changes...' without completing
 :knatschig: A couple times SmartSync has appeared to stall.  A window shows hx2495, the PDA image, the rotating ring and Searching for changes...  However, V6PPC.Net 111 does not show Slave mode on the PDA, and the sync does not complete.  I have to close SmartSync settings or details to close the SmartSync update window.

I will post more after testing further.

Following the advisory in the 1167 ZIP, I deleted the old V6 Data from the data store on the HP iPAQ hx2495b WM6 PocketPC PDA. 

 :staun: Initial SmartSync was problematic and the Sync progress window just ran but did not complete.  I'm not sure if this Sync status window is from SmartSync or Windows Mobile Sync because the sync progress windows are identical for both pipes.

Both Windows Mobile (WM) Sync and SmartSync launch very quickly on my PC, I thought either sync module may have populated data on the PDA too soon so that data conversion did not have time to launch or complete.

Therefore, I undocked the PDA, then deleted the hx2495b from SmartSync details.  I terminated PPC.Net 112 on the PDA.  I next deleted all data from the PDA offline using PocketPC File Explorer.

I next docked the PDA.  When the PDA was connected by USB, PC 1167 SmartSync rediscovered the hx2495b.  I set SmartSync details to sync the last two months of data To PC and From PC.  I also unchecked Sync on Program Start, and checked Sync on Terminate and Permanent Sync.

This synch did complete and PPC.Net 112 displayed current detailed logbook data on the PDA which matched detailed logbook on the PC 1167.

I then changed SmartSync details to Sync All Data.  SmartSync completed, although with the Nutrition.dat error.  Nevertheless, all data was synced to PPC.Net 112.

New detailed Logbook entry in PC 1167 not synced to PPC.Net 112
Nutrition.dat error persists:  With the PDA still docked to the PC, I entered a new BG, Bolus and Basal entry in PC 1167 detailed Logbook.  SmartSync manual sync showed a sync progress window. 

 >:( After a few seconds the detail Logbook screen on the PDA PC.Net 112 displayed Slave Mode.  The sync progress window reported Nutrition.dat missing error and the PDA detail Logbook 112 did not show the update. 

Windows Mobile File Explorer browsed to PDA \My Documents\SiDiary6PPC\ confirmed that Nutrition.dat does exist on the PDA.  Windows Explorer on the PC showed that Nutrition.dat does exist on the PC's SiDiary6 Data directory.

This may well be related to Vista UAC and possibly some conflict between the sync "data pipes" between Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 and SmartSync.

Work-Around of Manually deleting .DAT files from PDA using Windows Mobile Device Center not always successful.
With PC/1166 PPC.Net/111 and earlier, I could usually delete selected .DAT files from the PDA data store, then SmartSync successfully after a new Logbook entry.  This would work whether I used PC based browse to the data store on the PDA or manually deleting the files using PocketPC File Explorer on the PDA.  I could also selectively delete .DAT files from the Windows Mobile File Sync in WM Device Center 6.1.

 ??? With PC 1167 to PPC.Net 112, this method is not effective.  What seems to work best is to work through SmartSync using the Globe icon.  I need to select the hx2495b then go to Details.  I uncheck all boxes, then delete the hx2945b from SmartSync and immediately undock the PDA.  I then can terminate PC 1167, redock the PDA, and use WM6.1 File Explorer to delete ALL files from the PDA SiDiary6PPC data store.  Alternatively, I can use the slower but identical method of using PocketPC File Explorer to delete ALL files from the \My Documents\SiDiary6PPC data store.  (Obviously this is two methods that are functionally identical to browse to the data store on the hx2495b.

 :kotz:  I then launch PC 1167 and redock the hx2495b.  When WM Device Center 6.1 connects to the PDA, in PC 1167 detail Logbook, I use the Globe symbol to open SmartSync settings.  I select the rediscovered hx2495b.  In SmartSync Details I check the device, To PC and From PC boxes, and time range of All Data.  I close Details, then SmartSync.  The PPC.Net 112 screen changes to Slave Mode after a few seconds, and the sync finally succeeds.

 :hilfe: This workaround seems the most effective for the moment, but the process is painfully tedious.

Alf, under PC 1167 I also found a couple of data entries that seemed to be duplicated or placed in the wrong date.  I did not see this with 1166, so need to manually review Memory on my BG meter and compare that with the V6PC Detail Logbook.  Could be a 'Duh!' on my part, but I will post whatever I find from the Meter > Logbook comparison in a separate note.

 :rotwerd:  I admit that I have been so pleased with v6 progress, that I have not updated my v5 data for a couple of weeks! As a retired tech "pro" and person with DM for almost 40 years, it is important to keep accurate records and to backup backup backup.  However, at this moment it would take some time to bring v5 up to date.

Joerg, I've also looked at the newest Templates, and they look good.  For clarity I will post those comments separately.

Warm regards to all,

John

SiDiaryBeta6 PC En Build 1171 and PPC Build 114

 :mauer: My system required another System Recovery and update to Vista Home Premium SP1.  This time the PC seems stable after WindowsUpdates to SP1 and beyond.

After WindowsUpdates were current and important applications were reinstalled, I extracted PC Build 1168 to C:\Temp\SiDiaryBeta6.  Update Check reported Buiild 1171 which I downloaded.  I then used WinZIP 12 Pro to extract all files and folders in archive with overwrite to C:\Temp\SiDiaryBeta6.

I have previously found that UAC prevents extracting files to \Program Files, so have been using a Temp directory for these Beta tests.

SiDiaryWP.exe not responding error -- Vista SP1 UAC related?
 :nein: When I launched SiDiary6.exe Build 1171 using an Administrator-equivalent login on Vista Home Premium SP1, the main screen opened but I immediately received a Windows error that SiDiaryWP.exe stopped responding. 

I selected the error box Close program button and and the error box window closed, although SiDiary6 remained open.  However, when navigating through the Start Wizard, each selection brought another SIDiaryWP error.

Selecting Cancel in the Windows error box immediately produced another SiDiaryWP.exe stopped responding error.

 :knatschig: I suspected Vista UAC issues.  I next tried using Run as Administrator to launch SiDiary6.exe.  The SiDiaryWP.exe not responding error still occurred.

I then set File level Security of SiDiary6.exe to Full Control for authenticated Users and flagged the file Run as Adminstrator.  This setting reduced SiDiaryWP not responding errors but not eliminated.

I set File Security for SiDiaryWP.exe to Full Control and Run as Adminstrator.

If I launch SiDiary6exe from a shortcut, even using Run as Adminstrator, the SiDiaryWP.exe error still occures.

 ;D If I open an Explorer window to C:\Temp\SiDiaryBeta6 and launch SiDiary6.exe using Run as Adminstrator, the program works perfectly!  No SiDiaryWP.exe errors.

I hope this is clear and helpful.

Regards, John

 :winner: SiDiary6PC 1171 and SiDiary6 PPC 114

SmartSynch now synchs properly between PC 1171 and PPC 114!  Yea!!! :prost:

Of course, that is with the proviso that I use the Run as Administrator/Full Control file options work-around from my last post.

Also, the 24hr Log Book with Graphics print template works fine with no VBS addin errors!  Yea! #2.  I would suggest changing the MS Word Language setting for the English RTF templates to English-International.  The spell check function of Word 2007 reports language set to German.

More on PC 1171 and PPC 114 in further posts.

So far, wow!  :stern:

Hi John,

is there a Firewall working on your system which might block SiDiary? The SiDiaryWP.exe (->WorkerProcess) simply checks in the background if it can reach our server which then will be displayed by the main application as the connected globe in the status bar...
Perhaps the WP-task hangs when it tries to look for the internet connection?

Hi Alf,

Thanks for the clarification of SiDiaryWP.exe.  Yes, there is Norton Internet Security 2007 software firewall running.

(While troubleshooting Vista WindowsUpdate issues post-SP1, I am using the generic OEM bundled firewall/antivirus/antispyware that came preinstalled on the system.)

I can add SiDiary6.exe and SiDiaryWP.exe specifically to the allowed applications list for the firewall. 

It may be useful to specify a firewall rule(s) as well.  What protocols and port(s)s does SiDiaryWP (and other Beta6 components) use? E.g., TCP / UDP / Port no, To / From.

Thanks for the speedy reply and the the great *zach*!  8)

Thank you, Alf.

BTW, I checked Program Control in Norton Internet Security 2007.  I had already entered SiDiaryWP.exe in Allowed Applications before I changed the File Security and Full Control flags for Vista UAC.

I also have a Linksys WRT54G version 8 router installed, and a Scientific Atlanta Webstar Cable modem.

 :mauer: Experience has shown me the Dark Side of Vista, e.g., for some "Vista-compatible"applications an Administrator-equivalent UserID does not give full Administrator rights to numerous files and directories.  Microsoft Technical Support several times has directed me to manually change Account Control for a UserID to Full Control.

For example, my Administrator-equivalent UserID John has only power-user rights in Users and AppData directories.  Some other applications have needed the "John" UserID to have Full Control to the executable.

SiDiaryWP.exe does not seem an exceptional executable, so I am not sure why it needed special handling for UAC on my OS or PC.  ???.  For the moment I will keep the explicit permissions, pending your recommendations.

With the new buiilds and special permisssions. SmartSynch works quickl and well to and from my HP iPAQ hx2495b WM 5.1 / Windows Mobile  Device Center 6.1 PocketPC PDA.  The Nutrition.dat error is resolved!  8)

It doesn't need a special handling on your UAC!

I've tested it with all OS since Win2k up to Win Server 2008 and Win7. SiDiary has worked on both admin and user accounts with UAC-on and UAC-off.

So it must be a problem with your firewall or some other app.

Hi Joerg,

Í'm not sure what my local issue was, but it seems resolved now.  With files and directories left as default values, Build 1171 works fine, even from a desktop shortcut.

On the plus side (I'm a "glass half full" kind of person), the smartphone my carrier does offers is the Blackberry.  Yea!   8)

My new phone, a Blackberry Curve 8330, supports Java.  However, I can only load media and data files (like JAR) to the SD card using USB Mass Storage Device mode.  I cannot launch or extract the JAR file on the SD card to install it to the SIM.

Blackberry supports installs over-the-air, by download from Blackberry App World or by USB using the Blackberry Desktop Manager.  It also has a full html browser.

JOhn, when the great storm of July12t is gone, we will work on further improvements and on support of new platforms too (like iPhone and perhaps Blachberry).

Right now you could check, if you could use SiDiary Online. We have optimized all SDO websites during the upgrade to version 6 especially for iPhone, Blackberry & Co.

If you visit https://diabetes.sinovo.net with your Blackberry browser you can log on (and stay logged-in with a cookie). Most of the mobiles devices are recognized automatically and they will show the mobile layout instantly. If you'll see the default layout, you can use the menu MOBILE to switch the layout for your device to the mobile layout.

Then you should also set-up the start screen of SiDiary Online to single data input screen and then you can really add your data quick by using the browser. Simply navigate to SiDiary Online and enter directly your levels.

The PC will then synchronize your data to your desktop and you can use the full power of the desktop client...

SDO 6 IE8 and Blackberry

 ??? Curious issue.

Using PC 6 1182 after License Registration key was posting bedtime BG to Logbook.  With profile time frame set to Real Day (not Calendar Day) entered current time 0110.  Entered BG of 262 mg/dl  >:( -- sad but actual -- and clicked Save.  Entry posted to PC Logbook page.  Used Bolus Calculator for suggested correction (5.4).

In Bolus field popup entered correction of 5.5 and bolus of 6.  In Basal field entered Basal of 6 (which is usual at bedtime).

 :kratz: However, when I clicked Save again, the Bolus and Basal values entered disappeared from the Logbook page.  I tried this several times with the identical result of disappearing Basal/Bolus values.

I thought I would try entering the values using the SDO Logbook.  SDO now shows my 6 data after updating from the PC using MasterSync. 

 ??? Curiously, when the Blackberry browser displayed the SDO Logbook, there were all of the attempted entries (saves) for the 0110 single test results for this morning (late night). 

 :sternhalb: PC 6.0.1182 is now syncing with SDO 6.  I can find the results in SDO, but the PC logbook just shows the timestamp and BG value, not the bolus or basal values.

PC 6.0.1182 automatically syncs every couple of minutes with SDO while PC 6 is running.  I may need to change the sync option for PC 6 to sync only on start or terminate...

BTW, know you are VERY busy with the release rollout, so I don't want to take too much of your time.  Thanks so much for the quick answers!

SiDiary 6 PC Build 1182 Licensed Logbook BG values and Sync with SDO v6.0.92 Blackberry

This morning the BG values are now properly displaying in the PC Logbook!  :klatsch:

I also successfully entered a BG reading using SDO v6.0.92 Mobile on my Blackberry Curve 8330.  The data synced sucessfully and appears in the PC Logbook.  :preisen:

PC 6 Report Templates

Logbook Novo-style Colorized
Missing preview image from template screen on PC.  Printed perfectly, two week range, using Word 2007 to Epson CX5800F duplex, no issues.

Logbook Novo-style
Missing preview image.  Did not try to print this report.

Logbook 24-h Portrait and Logbook 24-h With Graphics
Both printed perfectly, parameters same as above.

Short report
Looks good, but first page is in German!  (Don't think my Diabetologist/Endocrinologist is fluent in German  ;D).  I'll send a copy of the doc in Word97 compatibility to info at sinovo.

Logbook 24h Portrait
Report prints correctly but layout (as designed and desired) is actually Landscape!  Just need to rename the template.

SDO 6.0.92 Blackberry (Curve 8330)
Most screen formats selecting Blackberry radio button for layout work well on the Blackberry browser. 

The SDO style sheets take a very long time to load in the Blackberry browser, one to two minutes versus seconds for other web sites.  I'll watch it closely and try to post something more specific on style sheet load times.

Once the screen loads, the layout is very good.  However, the shading gradient on the selection page is fine at the top and bottom of the screen.  The midscreen area appears to be empty and white.  If I scroll the mouse pointer down the screen I can see the midscreen selections and click to select them.  One of the "blank" selections is Data so there does not seem to be a link for logbook entries!!! For the time being it is not an issue for me, but could be problematic for the casual Blackberry user who is not particularly tech "savvy".

The data entry fields in the Logbook do not align well with the 8330 screen width.  I'll try to use the copy to clipboard for a "screen capture".  Which of the three screen capture formats would work better for this forum?

It would also be helpful to have a link or button to access the Bolus calculator from the SDO Mobile (Blackberry) Logbook or Enter Single Data screens.  I often use the Bolus calculator as a "mental check" if the BG value needs a correction Bolus.  It is difficult to get to the Bolus calculator on the Blackberry interface.  (Add this to the "enhancement wish list", please.) :ja:

Overall, I am still extremely satisfied with PC 1182 Licensed!!!  :winner: WOW!

 :schwester: BTW, I am burning a CD of SiDiary 6 Adware for my Diabetologist, who used to be with the US NIH.  He's semi-retired but still up to date with the latest and greatest technology.

 :knuddel: Warm personal regards and heartiest congratulations to all my friends at Sinovo,

SiDiary 6 Build 1184

Today I encountered three issues with the Build 1184 Update.


Update does not download

1.  SiDiary Logbook notified me of the Build 1184 Update.  I clicked Update Now and SiDiary 6 launched Internet Explorer 8 for the download.

The browser opened with the update url in the browser Title Bar.  The browser URL address line was blank, but there was download approval notification.  The download did not start.

There was no browser timeout or error, but no download.

The IE Title Bar showed this target URL (may be truncated, this is all that appeared):

{Download-URL}  (plus two or three more characters that were difficult to read).

Browser refresh did not start the download.


Manual Update Download

I did manually download the update using the Beta6 download page:

http://www.sidiary.org/default.asp?id=1009


Update.exe issue


2.   I terminated SiDiary 6 from the program menu then in the systray. 

I launched the update exe (Run as Administrator).  The update failed with a file lock error which I believe was 'unable to write to file'.

Although I had terminated both the SiDiary6 program and systray icon, the Vista Task Manager Process List showed two instances of SiDiary6.exe running.  I used TaskMgr 'close process tree' to terminate both instances, then closed TaskMgr.

I again launched the update with Run as Administrator.  This update was successful, no errors.

After the update, SiDiary 6 started perfectly. Help > About shows Build 1184!  Success!


Build 1184 SiDiary6 SmartSync 400 Bad Request error to SDO


3.  After the 1184 update I found SiDiary SmartSync for SDO was unchecked.  I checked the synch box for (SiDiary-Online-Server).

I clicked the () Sync button and received this error:

The following error ocurred while syncronizing data: 400 Bad Request


Logbook entries perform properly with 1184, but I cannot sync with SDO.


 :zusehen:  Sorry to add to the workload...  On the plus side, I still  :klatsch: Love  :preisen: SiDiary6!


Warm regards,

John

Hi John,

all issues seem to have the same reason. Most probably you catched our SiDiary Online server when he was under heavy load due to some backup tasks etc. which are running at night (here in Germany ;) ) Therefore the redirect has stuck and the sync wasn't able to answer in a valid time... I will check the logs with our Admins what has happened tonight...

Don't make checking the logs a high priority on my behalf.  Thanks for the reply and for keeping me up to date.  Here's a cup of coffee to keep you going:

Build 1185 SmartSync Status 400

 :nein: Just an FYI:

At 1245 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) / 2145 DE today, 10 Jul 2009, I tested SiDiary 6 1185 SmartSync with (SiDiary-Online-Server).

() Sync button still gave error:

The following error ocurred while syncronizing data: 400 Bad Request

What is a good time slot to test this with low traffic / server load?

 :duck:  Of course, the current cyberstorms are affecting net traffic worldwide.  :-\

No hurry to reply and no worries!  :)

1186 still 400 error here...

My test with 1186 at 1638PDT 0138DE still gives 400 Bad data request error, so who knows?  :nixweiss: here, too.

BTW, I did check ZoneAlarm Extreme Edition to be sure Program Control for SiDiary6 and WPSiDiary permissions were still properly set.  Looks OK there, so ???

 :knuddel: Thanks for the reply my friend.  Time to go to work so more Monday when I'm off.

Personal regards,

P.S:  Update

2350 PDT 0850 DE:  Still 400 error.  Oh, well.   :'(

PC 1187 En  Update Now and SmartSync to SDO errors

1186 New Version Available Update Now problem

 :schnief: 1186 automatic update from new version notice launches browser (IE8) with no error, but as with 1185, download update does not start.  Went to Beta 6 Update download page to obtain 1187 update.

Also, Update now also does not close SI6 PC, I had to manually terminate.

After manually terminating SiDiary6 1186, then downloading the 1187 update, the update install failed because two instances of SiDiary6.exe were still running as processes even though SiDiary was terminated both as a program and in the systray.  I used TaskManager terminate process tree, to close both instances of SiDiary6.exe.  SiDiary6 Update (1187) then updated successfully.

Different SmartSync Error with 1187 PC En:

:hmm:   Webcall timeout for UserLogin.

 :knatschig: 1187 SmartSync to SDO reports Searching for changes but does not complete or error out, just keeps running.  I tried to terminate SmartSync to SDO but it did not respond to clicking the "x" close window hotspot.

BTW, the Wecall timeout message window was still running, hidden under the searching for changes message.


Let me know what additional info I can provide to help resolving these issues.

Regards and best wishes to the team,

John

That must be a problem on your local client because SiDiary is simply opening an URL and this has worked fine since your IE8 had been opened. So I cannot say why your IE isn't showing the file download screen but we have no influence on that behaviour of IE8 on your system... you could also try to enter the Update-URL manually to your browser: http://www.sidiary.org/updatenow6/

Also, Update now also does not close SI6 PC, I had to manually terminate.
After manually terminating SiDiary6 1186, then downloading the 1187 update, the update install failed because two instances of SiDiary6.exe were still running as processes even though SiDiary was terminated both as a program and in the systray.  I used TaskManager terminate process tree, to close both instances of SiDiary6.exe.  SiDiary6 Update (1187) then updated successfully.

So you should check your local installation because after opening the download update URL with your default browser, SiDiary will terminate itself. If there are further instances at this moment SiDiary will not shut down the other instances of course. So please check your TaskManager when the update-screen of SiDiary is notifying you about an update: I would expect that even at this time the other instances can be seen in your TaskManager.

Well we have updated SiDiary Online for a few minutes. Perhaps that update overlapped with your sync? Please try again now if the error remains?!
We will check the hidden error message - but this explains why you cannot close the sync status window with the X...

The updatenow6 URL gave me a hint about the update download issue.  Sinovo.net was in the Trusted Zone for IE8 and ZoneAlarm Extreme Edition, but sidiary.org was in the internet zone.  I added sidiary.org to IE8 Trusted zone, added sidiary.org to IE8 Security tab Trusted sites Allow, and in IE8 Privacy tab added sidiary.org allow cookies and allow popups.

In ZoneAlarm Extreme Edition Firewall tab added Host sidiary.org to ZA Trusted Zone.

After applying these changes, used IE8 to browse to updatenow6.  The download started and the download completed without error.  I used TaskManager to close process tree for the single instance of SiDiary6 still running.

I then ran the Update6 executable and it succesfully updated 6 (again to 1187).

I have not tried the integrated SiDiary6 PC update now function after making the security settings changes, but will try it later.

The server wasn't really busy since the heavy load on last Saturday...  :-\
I'm really wondering why these things didn't happen during the beta period since the communication with SDO hasn't changed from a technical view

SDO 6 PC and Blackberry


PC folder \Users\John\AppData\Local\SiDiary\Log last entry is Sync20090704.log


SDO6 Blackberry

Works properly on Blackberry Curve 8330, but does not show updated profile from PC 6 with two new insulins:

Basalinsulin(2) Novo Levemir
Bolusinsulin (2) Novo Novolog

The SDO (Blackberry) Profile screen allows me to add the new second Basalinsulin and Bolusinsulin, but the pulldown lists only contain the original Basalinsulin Novo Novolin NPH and Bolus Novo Novolin R.  It is not populated with the insulin lists available in 6 PC.


SDO 6 PC in IE8 works properly, but Profile screen insulin lists have the same limitations:  only one Basalinsulin and Bolusinsulin, no other insulins listed in pulldown to Add Basalinsulin and Add Bolusinsulin.

SiDiary6 1187 SmartSync with SDO6

Because SDO has not synchronized with SiDiary 6 PC since 4 July, I clicked Master-Sync.

However, as of 1400 PDT / 2300 DE, I still receive the Web call timeout for User Login error on all sync attempts from PC 6 1187.  After the SmartSync error, Sync status window popup still shows Searching for changes but does not complete.  I cannot close the searching for changes window unless I terminated SiDiary6 PC.

SiDiary 6 PC EN 1189 and SDO (6)

 :super:  Everything is still great with PC 1189 and SmartSync with SDO.

After the 1189 update I had to reselect Sync options.  After putting checks in selection criteria, all was OK for automated syncs.


Minor issue with ( ) [synch] button:

With both 1188 and 1189, from the Internet connection sync options, when Sync with URL for SDO is selected,  the MasterSync button is selectable.  It does a complete refresh of data between SiD6 and SDO.

However, the ( ) Sync now button is not highlighted or active.  The button does not respond to a mouse click.  This is not a serious problem because the automated sync on data save works fine.  (I have the sync refresh time set to 180 from the default 60 because frequent sync refresh is distracting when I'm using the Logbook.

 
Bulletin Board clipboard post from SDO6 with 1189:

BTW, 296 BG is a temporary anomaly while titrating Novolog and Levemir.  Not to worry...

(http://www.sinovo.net/snapshot/7V7YG6T.png) (http://www.sw.md?d=7V7YG6T)
