Note that this patch is only intended for Version 13.2.32.  If you do not have SES Software 2006, Version 13.2.32, installed, then you should not run this patch.

Installation Instructions

1. Once you have downloaded the update file, Patch13240.exe, to a local folder (e.g., C:\Temp), please close all SES software programs prior to installing this update.

2. Run the update file, Patch13240.exe.

3. Click on the Next button to extract the contents of this self-extracting executable to a temporary folder (do not extract to the SES software installation folder).  You may define a temporary folder (e.g., C:\Temp\Patch13240) that is easy to access since you may have to browse to that folder after the extraction process has completed.

4. Click on the Next button to proceed with the extraction process.

5. The update will automatically start after the extraction has been completed. 

(If the update does not start automatically, then execute the Update.exe file manually, from the folder specified in Step 3, to start the update process). 

6. Once the update has completed, you may delete the temporary folder specified in Step 3.

Bug-Fix

The following problems have been fixed in this patch update:

AutoGridPro: The program can crash when resistivity measurements are not specified in the input data.

Output Toolbox: The program can crash when trying to create a “Raw-Data” report without first going to the new Advanced Report Export Options screen.

Plotting (Output Toolbox / GrServer): 2D-Spot plots can display incorrectly when the observation points to be plotted consist of linear profiles interrupted by gaps.

Right-of-Way: The data validation for the Insert Sections function in the Modify Circuit module can prevent you from specifying valid data. Also, in the Total Interference module the default rod radius is incorrect when the radius is specified in centimetres, and, for very small radii (< 1 mm), the radius data can sometimes be saved with insufficient accuracy in the Right-of-Way file.

SES-Shield: In Substation mode, the program now allows 0 for the phase-to-phase voltage of the busses to be protected.
