Windows installer for the Tank Monitor Console Simulator, version 0.1.1.

Installing it

Download TankMonitorConsoleSimulator-0.1.1-Setup.exe below and run it. It
installs for your user account only, so it does not need administrator rights
and does not ask for a password.

Already have 0.1.0? Help -> Check for updates inside the app does the rest.

Windows will warn you, and that is expected

This installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows
"Windows protected your PC" the first time you run it. To continue:

  1. Click More info
  2. Click Run anyway

That warning means "we have not seen this file before", not "this file is
harmful". To confirm the download is byte-for-byte what was published here,
SHA256SUMS.txt below lists its SHA-256. In PowerShell:

Get-FileHash "TankMonitorConsoleSimulator-0.1.1-Setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

What changed since 0.1.0

  • The installer's file name now matches its checksum. In 0.1.0 the file
    was built with spaces in its name, and GitHub rewrites spaces to dots when
    it serves a release asset, so the name on this page and the name inside
    SHA256SUMS.txt did not look the same. Anyone verifying a download by eye
    saw a mismatch that was not real. The hash itself was always correct, and
    the in-app updater was never affected, since it checks by hash rather than
    by name.
  • Two source files were missing their licence header and now have it. The
    program was fully licensed either way, under the GPL-3.0 in LICENSE.

Nothing about how the simulator behaves has changed. The console, the serial
protocol and the bench are identical to 0.1.0.

What it is

A training and bench simulator for TLS-350 compatible tank monitor consoles:
the same keys, the same MODE / FUNCTION / STEP walk, the same setup and
diagnostic menus, the same serial protocol. The manufacturer's manuals are
the manual for this simulator too.
