RELEASE NOTES

VERSION 2.0

HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT

This document contains a list of major changes that were made to each release of the PANACEA software. The

release notes are not an exhaustive list of every minor change. Only noteworthy changes are included, such as bug

fixes, new features, new Units Under Test (UUT), and new applications.

All major and minor versions of PANACEA are included. Most minor versions of PANACEA (e.g. 1.6.2) are not formally

released. However, it is important to read the release notes from the minor version to have an accurate

understanding of what has changed between two major versions. For example, if you would like to know what has

changed between version 1.6 and version 1.7, you should read the 1.6.1, 1.6.2, and 1.7 sections.

PANACEA VERSION 2.0

Important Change: PANACEA 2.x represents a new product line for Talen-X. The PANACEA 2.x line will support

ongoing upgrades to BroadSim, supporting new features as they become available. PANACEA 2.x does not include

support for Spirent, LabSat, or Agilent hardware- the PANACEA 1.x product line will continue supporting these. Data

can be imported from PANACEA 1.x using the same tools as

New Feature: GLONASS Constellations

New Feature: BeiDou Constellations

New Feature: Galileo Constellations

New Feature: GLONASS downlink data mods

New Feature: BeiDou downlink data mods*

New Feature: Galileo downlink data mods*

New Feature: Jamming with BroadSim

- AWGN, BPSK, CW, Pulsed CW, Swept CW, BOC waveforms supported

- Number of waveforms limited only by BroadSim computational power

New Feature: Custom python API support for scenarios

- PANACEA 2.x broadcasts a UDP stream to port 3003, allowing users to create their own

applications to run during a scenario, parallel to PANACEA. Two python files are provided as an

example: example.py and Printer.py. The API provides the scenario directory, duration, status,

and current time of the running scenario.

New Feature: Comparable downlink data reports in Panorama. The output of these reports makes it easy to compare

data received from different receivers.

Bug Fix: Retrospective: Fixed multiple crashes

* BeiDou and Galileo data mods not yet supported by BroadSim

PANACEA VERSION 1.13

New Receiver: Android (USB)

New Receiver: Honeywell - INR

New Receiver: Honeywell - MMR

New Receiver: MicroModular - MN5515HS

New Receiver: Spectracom - NetClock 9389

New Receiver: Ublox - UART

New Application: Introducing Retrospective! An analysis tool designed to look at data from a BroadSense device.

New Application: Introducing PANACEA Field Test, a new application designed to help you collect data in real time

during field tests.

New Feature: PANACEA: supports BroadSim 17.1.4.A.

New Feature: Panorama: The zoom levels are remembered! Axes of plots will be held constant as you move between

different plots, receivers, etc.

New Feature: Panorama: Improved how you add and remove data sources.

New Feature: Panorama: Improved the sort order of items within a data source.

New Feature: PANACEA: Custom Spirent Scenarios! You can specify the location of a Spirent scenario that you built

yourself. You have full control of the Spirent scenario while PANACEA continues to control the other aspects of the

simulation.

New Feature: Panorama: You can add a custom header and footer to all reports that Panorama generates. This is

particularly useful for classification markings.

New Feature: PANACEA: You can control receivers while PANACEA is running. (e.g. connect, disconnect, cold start,

etc.)

New Feature: PANACEA: Some combinations of ETs and Y-Code enabled simulators don't work. PANACEA now

warns you when you try to run such a scenario.

New Feature: PANACEA: The multi-constellation used for the ET is now based on the ET Rx location, instead of the Rx

location. This allows the ET Rx location to be far away and the scenario will still run properly.

New Feature: PANACEA: Improved the real-time map.

New Feature: RxStudio: Receivers that only report one altitude type will now report both MSL (Mean sea level) and

HAE (Height above ellipsoid; WGS84). The non-tidal EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model 96) is used to calculate the

GeoId offset between MSL and HAE.

New Feature: RxStudio: Colored fields! The text color of values in the NavDataFrame can be set to different colors.

This has been used to indicate which values decoded from the receiver are estimated or calculated (such when a

receiver only provides MSL altitude and the plugin calculates the HAE altitude).

PANACEA VERSION 1.12

New Receiver: Microsemi - SyncServer S650

New Receiver: Swift Navigation - Piksi

New Receiver: Symmetricom - TimeSource 3500

New Receiver: TesCom - StarClock TiemPo 6400A

Important Change: PANACEA: The GPS Constellation builder code types (CA P Y M) are now enabled/disabled for L1

and L2 independently. By default, L2 signals are disabled. If you want to use L2 signals in your simulation, open the

GPS Constellation builder and make the appropriate selections.

New Feature: PANACEA: In previous versions, if you wanted to turn an SV completely off for a scenario, you could

mark it unhealthy. This causes some issues (mainly, how do you simulate unhealthy SVs?) so we have fixed it. Each

SV now has an “Enabled” property in the GPS Constellation builder. We’ve automatically set all of your previously

healthy SVs to “Enabled” and your previous unhealthy SVs to “Disabled”. The result is that you can now control if a

SV is on or off, and independently control if it is healthy or not.

New Feature: RxStudio: We’ve updated to plots that show up in RxStudio. They look a lot better now. We also

added a really cool map. If you are connected to the internet, you will see where the receivers on the map. Use your

scroll wheel to zoom, left click to pan, and double click to center on the receiver.

New Feature: PANACEA: We’ve added support for the first official release of BroadSim (version 16.11.0.A).

New Feature: PANACEA: We’ve added a “screenshot” event to the event group builder. You can use this event to

have PANACEA take a screen shot of your desktop and save it into the scenario directory. This can be useful to

collect data from other applications (like Spike). It can also be used to debug tricky issues that happen throughout

the night. This feature doesn’t work well with things like screen savers, monitors that go to sleep, and screen lock.

Important Change: The way you specify the com port for receivers that use the Ballard controller has changed.

Please contact support for assistance when using the Ballard controller.

New Feature: PANACEA: We’ve increased the number of Agilent jammers that you can use. To use more than two

jammers, you will need to use multiple GPIBs. Each GPIB supports two jammers, but for performance reasons we

recommend that you use one GPIB device for each jammer.

New Feature: PANACEA: We’ve added a new parameter to the Scenario builder called “Start Time Offset”. This

parameter is an offset that is applied to the normal “Start Time” object. This parameter is especially useful when your

“Start Time” is “Time Sync” or “TruthRx”. When using a Spirent simulator, your “Start Time Offset” will have to be a

multiple of 6 seconds.

New Feature: PANACEA: We’ve added a new object called “SV Commands”. You can command SVs to turn On or

Off at specified times throughout the scenario. As with many of our builders, you can use an SV number of “0” to

mean “All SVs”.

New Feature: RxStudio: We’ve added more downlink data to the SV Book tab of RxStudio. This includes MNAV,

GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou downlink data.
