The aquasuite 2015 contains many changes and new functions. This version is also the starting shot for the new farbwerk controllers. Its dispatching will start today.
The current version can be
downloaded from our website.
ATTENTION
After a firmware update of the aquaero 5 and 6 as well as the aquaduct mk 4 and 5 XT series a downgrade is not possible.
With the aquaero firmware 2000 and above the lowspeed aquabus port will not work anymore! This means a tubemeter or multiswitch can not be connected to the aquaero anymore. If this function is necessary for you, then do not perform an update now or in the future.
NOTE
Existing profiles can not be reused because of several changes in the internal structure. For the overview pages the data sources for the fans and outputs must be reassigned.
The rest of this post means the aquaero 5 and 6 when mentioning aquaero and the aquaduct mk 4 and 5 XT when mentioning aquaduct.

- Bugfix: with an imported profile the settings between the aquasuite software and the aquaero where not synchronized
- Bugfix: the relay is set to the state "off" by default so when updating the firmware it will not turn off the PC afterwards when using the ATX break adapter or power button with the relay
Changelog for the aquasuite software 2015 v1
- New: support for farbwerk controller
- New: profiles which are stored in the aquaero or aquaduct can be loaded and managed through the aquasuite software
- New: pressure data of corresponding mps devices when connected via aquabus are available for the overview pages now
- Change: outputs of an aquaero/aquaduct like PWM, relay, LED, connected pumps etc. have been grouped and unified
- Change: new layout for the aquaero and aquaduct demo pages
- Bugfix: key tone for the aquaero and aquaduct can be set again
- Bugfix: when adding new data to a chart a new axis was generated; data of the same type will be grouped now
- Bugfix: in the overview it was not possible to get a screenshot of the desktop when old Windows designs were used
- Bugfix: when data of bargraphs or pointer instruments were changing fast there was a memory leak and a lot of RAM has been used
- Bugfix: if a D5 pump was connected to an aquaero via aquabus the power was shown with a wrong unit
- Bugfix: using fonz size 0 in the overview pages caused the program to crash
- Bugfix: the uninstall routine in Windows program management was not working
- Aqua Computer Windows Service: values of AIDA64 are read through WMI and shared memory now – depends on which source is available

- Change: for pumps the frequency has been exchanged with percent and rotational speed
- Change: amount of entries for the timer has been reduced from 32 to 16
- Change: amount of entries for the alarm levels have been reduced from eight to four
- Change: lowspeed aquabus port disabled
- Bugfix: measurements of temperature values above 90°C were partially shown with too high values
- Bugfix: uploading an own image to the device was not possible
- Bugfix: rendering of the curve controller within the device was messed up when the temperature started with a negative value
- Bugfix: when a sensor which was assigned to an alarm has been removed, the corresponding alarm did not work anymore
Besides the listed points there are several other small corrections and changes. The listed points are the main changes.
A lot of code has been changed and although we did tests there is still a chance that something does not work as expected. If you find errors, please let us know and write them down here in the thread or drop us an e-mail.
