[pam-users] new PAMControls version 2.1.0 released

[pam-users]

Hi everyone,

PAMControls version 2.1.0 is now available for download here: PAMControls Software - Aerodyne Research<https://support.aerodyne.com/hc/en-us/articles/15692392365847-PAMControls-Software>

This update represents a significant architectural overhaul focused on long-term stability, real-time data visualization accuracy, and computational robustness. A summary of the main updates is provided below.

  *   Resolved Threading Deadlocks: Implemented asynchronous communication protocols.
  *   Unified COM Port Management: Consolidated all Serial Port communication logic into a single, global interface.
  *   Seamless Multi-Tasking: The transition to asynchronous messaging allows users to interact with all hardware controls in real-time without needing to pause or "uncheck" data acquisition.
  *   Centralized Data Processing: Streamlined the data flow so that all raw strings from the instrument are parsed in one location before being distributed to the various graphing and logging subroutines. This reduces CPU overhead and prevents conflicting data-handling instructions.
  *   OHExposure Model Estimates: Updated OHExposureModel and PhotochemicalAgeModel calculations and user interface.

Note: because this version accommodates PAM OFR and PAM Dual/Triple OFR systems, the data columns in new data files will likely be different than in the data files obtained with the software version you are currently using.

If you have any questions or issues let me know - I welcome your feedback.

Best regards,
Andy
