C.5 UPGRADE TO REV F OR LATER

C.5.1 FROM REV D OR E

Versions D / E must be manually uninstalled prior to installing version F or later software.

If not uninstalled prior to installing version F or later, an error message is displayed.

C.5.2 FROM REV A, B OR C

The releases of IRD’s Autopoll software from Revision D on use a revised XML file for storing site information and the general configuration settings. Conversion from the earlier file formats is performed automatically during installation if the files exist.

In Autopoll Revisions A, B and C, a template for site information was placed in a file named Site.xml, the actual sites information was placed in a file named Sites.xml and the general configuration information was found in a file named Settings.xml. These three files can be found in the Configuration folder of the Autopoll installation directory. Following an upgrade to Revision D or later, these files will remain in the directory, however, a new site information file, SitesConfig.xml and a new general configuration file, GnrlSettings.xml, will appear in the same directory. The old files, Site.xml, Sites.xml and Settings.xml, will be unused and can be deleted following the upgrade.

Image file downloading configuration has changed from previous releases. Please check your image file downloading configuration after upgrading.

C.5.3 AUTOPOLL REV C

To upgrade from Autopoll Revision C to Revision D or later software, run setup.exe from the Autopoll Revision D or later distribution CD. This will automatically uninstall revision

C and install the new revision. The site information from revision C will be automatically transferred from the Sites.xml file to the new SiteConfig.xml file during installation. The general configuration information will also be transferred from the Settings.xml to the new GnrlSettings.xml file during installation.

C.5.4 FROM REV A OR B

Autopoll Revision D or later installation is designed to automatically uninstall older versions of Autopoll; however, as a result of the installation process of versions A or B, the Revision D and later uninstall process will remove three key parameter files: Settings.xml, Site.xml and Sites.xml.

When upgrading to Autopoll Revision D (or later) from Revision A or B, it is IMPORTANT that these files be backed up safely BEFORE installing the new version of Autopoll or all the INFORMATION in them WILL BE LOST.

To perform an Autopoll upgrade from Revision A or B to Revision D or later, follow the steps below:

1. Back up the parameter files; open Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory where Autopoll is installed (the default installation directory is C:\ProgramFiles\IRD\Autopoll). Open the Configuration subdirectory. This directory should contain the Settings.xml, Site.xml and Sites.xml files. Either copy these three files to a backup directory somewhere else on the drive or rename the files with different names.

2. Uninstall the old version of Autopoll using the Windows Control Panel – Add/Remove Programs function.

3. Restore the Settings.xml, Site.xml and Sites.xml files back to the Configuration subdirectory. Note that you may need to recreate the Configuration folder.

4. Run the Revision D or later installation. The site information from the older version will be automatically transferred from the old files to the new files during installation.

Release N (Build: 4.3.x)

Copyright (c) 2019, International Road Dynamics, Inc.

All rights reserved.

1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Autopoll is available as both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows applications.

The system requirements for Autopoll are driven primarily by the requirements for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1

For installation requirements of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=49982

Also required: Internet Connection and/or a Hayes compatible modem.

2. SOFTWARE LICENSE

Terms of the software licensing agreement as outlined in the Software License.rtf file.

3. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

Autopoll supports the following command line option:

Autopoll.exe [/P[oll] <site name>]

/P, /Poll Polls the site specified in <site name>. Site name is not case sensitive.

4. KNOWN ISSUES

Issue 1: Autopoll hangs when downloading bin table information from TCC-540 (WIM) Traffic Counter remote hosts.

Description: Occurs when TCC-540 traffic counters do not respond to an enquiry to obtain bin table information. When this occurs Autopoll will appear to hang while waiting for the host to transmit bin table information.

Fix: Click Cancel and retry downloading the bin table information.

Issue 2: CPU usage increases continously when downloading vehicle record data files from site until it peaks at 100%.

Description: Occurs due to the high overhead of communicating with and transferring vehicle record data files from the remote host computer on site back to your computer using the X|ZModem file transfer protocols.

Fix: While downloading vehicle record data files, Autopoll is designed to allow other programs a sufficient share of processor time. Other programs can run concurrently although lag time may be experienced depending on CPU speed and computer memory.
