This version 2016.2.5 is the new major version that also has been validated at DARE!! Measurements. We however strongly advise to test and verify (according to your quality system) this and each new version of RadiMation at for example a separate PC or laptop with your setup and with your measurement equipment, before you are going to use it for daily operation.

We also include several improvements and new functionalities in version 2016.2.5, the most important improvements are:
- Automated test for Voltage, Dips and Interrupts.
- Improved RadiLog communication monitoring.
- Better checks of used correction files.
- Virtual Instrument control for Field strenght sensors, signal generators, turntables and antenna towers.
- Several user interface and usability improvements.
- Report generator fixes
- Better control of measurement equipment.
The new 2016.2.5 release of RadiMation can be downloaded from the DARE!! web-site:
We always advise to thoroughly test EACH new RadiMation software version to determine if it works correctly in your situation with your equipment, before you use it for daily measurements. This is even a requirement for all ISO 17025 accredited test-labs. To enable customers to validate new software versions before they implement that new software version, we even made it possible to install multiple versions of RadiMation side-by-side on a single PC.
