version 3.04
BACKGROUND_COLOR
If the file 'PREFERENCE_COLOR.TXT' is present in the main directory of CODE300-32, the two following lines contain the chosen back ground colors for graphical and text decoding modules:
BACKGROUND_COLOR_TEXT=123xxxxx (color values in hex format)
BACKGROUND_COLOR_GRAPHIC=123xxxxx
In main menu, setup, preferences, background_colors, one can select another color, the chosen color is written into this file. The file will be created if it doesn't exist.
Without this file CODE300-32 starts with the default values for color.
STANAG 4285, 4529, M188-110 ser and 39 tone:
Function ''EOM disabled'' added (mainly for synchronous modes) with remote command and button
EOM.

Choice now possible for choice of drive in Data path i.e. D:\AAA\data_dir
Audio recording: Audio recording works with a 'pre-recording' to prevent loose of data while openening the recording tool to hard disk, the full buffer content is added to the begin of each recorded file.
For voice recording this facility may give problems, so it can be disabled now.
Disabling / Enabling can be done in the following three ways:
1. Configuration file sets the default value (On / Off = Data / Voice):
PRERECORD=YES enables data recording
2. Setup / Preferences Menu in mainform allows local change of the setting without restart of CODE300-32:
Enable / disable the setting simply
3. Two remote controls are added to enable/disable this pre-record:
PreRecordOn / PreRecordOff
toggles the value by remote, the actual setting is confirmed by a return status:
Voice Recording / Data Recording
The status of the Preference menu is updated by remote command too
Bitstream: MIL modes + STANAGS flush last <8 bits if bitstream is enabled. Works while closing module.
Also by remote command "FLUSHOUTPUT" possible, maybe usefull sometimes.
STANAG 4285, 4529, M188-110 serial and 39 tone:
EOM disabled (mainly for synchronous modes) with remote command and button EOM.
Remote commands EOMActive / EOMInhibit enable/disable EOM. Default is EOMActive!

Center Frequency: set until 22 kHz
EPIRB: Baudrate selection added
MFSK Universal: added, use MFSKxxx.MXT file for define you own module

Remote : add new command "Connect_Request=YES" in config file:
a message box appears in C300-32 while a remote control socket connection is made.
'Yes' accepts connection, 'No' disables and sends message'no connection allowed at this moment',
'Try later' disconnects and sends message'no connection allowed, Try later'.

M188-11039t, M188-141, STANAG 4285, 4529, PSK31, ARQ IRA, GMDSS, HFDL, POCSAG,
FLEX, ARQE, Skyfax
Please note: CW can start twice also in the normal version.
RTTY Table
Each mode ( if there is a technical requirement) has his own RTTY codetable
that is editable with Font Editor.
The saved custom table gets the extension of the alphabet type that was
used in this mode, i.e. *.ITA2_TBL in case of Baudot.
One can load one of these custom tables also by remote control or via
custom menu.
Save the decoding module with custom type1..5 choosen in ALPHABET choice,
i.e Baudot with Customtype1.
You should edit and save the necessary RTTY table with the font editor
before.
Table files that are used under remote control (loaded by IP) don't need an
extension, they must be renamed into CUSTOM TABLE1 ...CUSTOM TABLE5 in the
same TABLE directory, otherwise they cannot be loaded, their extension must be
removed therefore.
The program will select the correct table type because it is saved in the
header of this table file.
All rtty tables are written into directory TABLES.
SubDirectory 'TABLES' and 'Freq_Used_Modes' are generated automatically now.
This is done automatically if the default data directory not exists.
For an update remove or rename the existing data directory before CODE300-32
is started, all directories will be created then.
.IP
'FREQ_USED_MODES' directory contains all 'local' IP's for a custom made
menu.
Saving an IP is changed: if menu combobox in mainform is open (custom
menu), each IP is saved into the directy 'freq_used_modes' with users-
or default name, but without the extension IP. Otherwise IP is saved into
standard data directory with the 'IP' extension.
CustomLog.Txt: this file must be present in the CODE300-32 main
directory and may contain a string with up to 50 Characters.
This text will be added to each logging string if a file is written to
disk, after the standard parameters like baudrate, shift etc., ( if this
function was enabled in CODE300W.CFG).
New Remote Control commands are added:
'QParams', followed by a slash and the mode number 1..6 is used to
ask the actual parameters of each running mode by LAN.
'SetFocus', followed by a slash and the mode number 1..6 is used to
give the focus to any running mode.
Only the active mode sends his spectrum display and tuning markers by LAN (if
activated).
Changing the focus changes the active tuning aid therefore.
A new module, MODULATION CLASSIFIER, is added as a beta version.
The functions and modes will be increased in the next few months.
Some actions are functional now, i.e. 'noise' can start the receiver scan
by a LAN command, 'FSK2' can stop the scan and start Auto Class mode if
requested.
Two new commands are added therefore: StartReceiverScan and StopReceiverScan.
These commands are sent by LAN for further custom purposes.
Audio recording is always opened while this module is running, but with
temp hold as default.
This opens one audio file only, even when the recording is activated and
deactivated several times.
