R139 Brake Assist, Category B (beta)
The test allows the user to carry out a brake assist test in accordance with the R139 regulation.
New ‘Reset on start condition’ option within a Brake 'Trigger' test. This allows the test reset condition to be disabled, so the test will always start on the first trigger.
It is now possible to left-click and drag to select or hold control to multi-select Test Result cells. This allows data to be copied more easily.
New 'Calculated Column' feature in Results to allow calculations based on test results.
Calculations can be based on other result columns or start/end/average/min/max/std.dev value of a channel during the run.
- Run Graph now displays an interpolated point for the start and the end of the run for a given channel. This helps to make it clear when viewing the graph what the start of run and end of run values were for that channel.
- Measure Tool now interpolates the start and end of the range. Previously, the measure tool provided measurements from the first sample to the last sample within the range only.
- End of Session condition is now available in the Custom Test plugin. This allows a test to be configured, for example, to start immediately and then stop at the end of the file.
- Session Colour is now displayed within the File List ribbon drop-down menu on the Home tab.
- Gauge Test channel selection organised by source of channel data—i.e. test column gauges, count down gauges, default gauges and test plugin-specific gauges.

- Dashboard no longer rearranges gauges automatically. Instead, the user has the option to zoom in and out depending on available space using the mouse wheel or zoom buttons on the ribbon.
- Other Dashboard improvements to include grid now being hidden and alignment increments being reduced, angular meter avoids wasted margins—and so renders much better when sized small, and a new 'Dashboard Update Rate' is available in options.
- Custom Test now allows a test to be started when a channel value >= a given value. Previously, a test could only be started when a specified value was crossed.
- Lap Timing plugin (beta) - perform lap analysis for driving around a circuit. Also allows remote data connection for live analysis in conjunction with SimPack.

- R51 Pass By Noise wide open throttle result column between PP' line and BB' Line.
