TMS-200/205 Software Changelog

TMS-200 v.2.1.3 Updates:

  • Added user configuation of pump power levels (7.58-12.73V).

TMS-200 v.2.1.29 Updates:

  • Fixed a bug with the shutdown delay setting that could result in improper shutdown action.

TMS-200 v.2.1.28 *Final* Updates:

  • Error log file now generated for debugging purposes, named "Req.log" and found in the TMS software install folder.
  • Added an option to fix the COM port used for TMS-200 so it doesn't need to rescan each time. The option is located at the top of the settings screen.
  • Added "Share Memory" feature at the bottom of the settings screen. This can be enabled to share TMS output data (pump speed, temperatures, etc.) for compatible 3rd-party programs.

TMS-200 v.2.1.28 *BETA* Updates:

Please follow the below steps to update earlier versions of TMS-200 to version 2.1.28:

  1. Take screenshots or make a note of your current configuration settings. Current user settings may be lost after upgrading to 2.1.28.
  2. Uninstall the current Prolific drivers and TMS software (control panel -> uninstall).
  3. Reboot the computer.
  4. Run "PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v130.exe" from the zip file to install new Prolific drivers.
  5. Run "TMSv2.1.28_Install.exe" from the zip file to install new TMS software.
  6. Copy "TMSv2.exe" from the zip file into the new TMS software installation directory (from step #5). Overwrite the existing file when prompted.
  7. Reboot the computer.

  • This version incorporates a new communication process to help avoid false alarm states during boot-up.
  • New Prolific chip drivers have been added for all Windows versions.
  • Added some improvements that may decrease COM connection time on slower systems.

TMS-200 v2.1.26 Updates:

NOTE: Current users should completely uninstall any previous versions of TMS before attempting to install v2.1.26. Reboot after installing the new software. (It should not be necessary to reinstall the Prolific drivers during the update to 2.1.26, unless you are a new user.)

  • Added user temperature offsets (+/-) to the settings menu.
  • Added a hysteresis function to the automatic fan and pump power graphs. This allows a "tolerance" period before power is adjusted based on the user's auto graph setting. The hysteresis graph line is in green, and can be disabled through the bottom checkbox.
  • Icons for TMS silent/alarm modes, and logging enabled/disabled have been added to the main screen for easier identification.
  • When an alarm event occurs, the pumps are now changed to full power until the user manually resets them.
  • An error when interacting with the impending shutdown dialog box was fixed.
  • A typo with flowmeter units in the shutdown settings window was corrected.
  • A TMS startup delay was added to prevent errors with some pumps that required more time to power up.

TMS-200 v2.1.18 Updates:

  • Added shutdown options based on pump RPM.
  • Added shutdown event recording to the log file. (Data format: mm/dd/yy, hh:mm:ss, component, temperature channel, value, shutdown set value)
  • Added keyboard shortcut: "Ctrl+H" (hide the main screen).
  • Increased keyboard navigability in menus.

TMS-200 v2.1.13 Updates:

  • Fixed an issue with the COM port disconnecting randomly for some boards.
  • Fixed a problem with the Koolance INS-FM16 falsely reporting a zero value flow rate.
  • Fixed a display error with the fan power bar when a flow meter alarm condition was met.
  • Added alarm options based on pump RPM. (Shutdown options are pending.)
  • Added alarm state recording to the log file. (Data format: mm/dd/yy, hh:mm:ss, component, temperature channel, value, alarm set value)
  • Additional keyboard shortcuts have been added. Like existing hotkeys, the TMS software window must be open and active to utilize these:
    • F1: Change all fans to minimum
    • F2: Change all fans to maximum
    • F3: Change all pumps to minimum
    • F4: Change all pumps to maximum
    • F5: Silent alarm mode
    • F6: Audible alarm mode
    • F7: Change all fans to auto
    • F8: Change all pumps to auto
    • Shift+F: Show fan graph on the main screen
    • Shift+M: Show flow graph on the main screen
    • Shift+P: Show pump graph on the main screen
    • Shift+S: Rescan the COM Port
    • Shift+T: Show temperature graph on the main screen
    • Shift+V: Display fan power text

TMS-200 v2.1.6 Updates:

  • Compatibility for new firmware has been added.
  • The fan auto setting can now be reduced below 20%.
  • A third adjustment line has been added to the fan auto graph for more detailed speed tweaking.
  • Items recorded to the log are now labeled according to their user-defined names.

TMS-200 v2.1.2 Updates:

  • 120dpi resolution support
  • Improved pump speed control stepping.
  • User-definable pump and fan speed levels. These can be accessed via the "Adjust" option beneath any fan or pump's drop-down menu.
  • Reduced minimum fan speed setting to 1%.
  • A new debugging log feature. If there are issues in the software that cause an error or crash, information should be posted to the debug log file in the TMS root directory. Debug logs can be disabled under "Settings".
  • Color code indicators have been added to all devices on the main screen (temperature, fans, pump, flow meters, etc.) to make the display graph more legible.
  • The option to disable the TMS tray icon hover menu was added. To access, right click and select "Disable Mouseover Menu".
  • Additional fixes for stability.
