Some clarifications on CSI software

Just a quick response to some of the questions -

The new firmware (V2.19) and CPS (V1.25) for the CS700 offer corrected DTMF signaling (I believe the * key is working correctly now) and Nuisance Channel Delete during scanning mode. Microphone gain is not included in this firmware, which is being provided by the previous consulting group.

The Data Extractor software pulls out Contacts and Channels data. The older Contact Manager software written by Tom Wheeler is still available on his website, but the extracted data will need adjustments before it can be imported into the CS750 CPS. It will also only get the contacts data.

The CPS currently requires Microsoft Excel, 2003 or later. We are aware
that this is an added cost for those who do not have Excel already, and we are working with our manufacturer to change this. However, this change will come after the more critical bugs have been worked out, so it may be a while before the CPS supports more generic input files.

Chris, Thank You for the clarification. I have a question on the requirement for Excel. Will the other "excel-like" programs work? I am speaking of open office etc.

Hello Lloyd,
It appears that CoValue wrote the CPS code to make use of some Excel specific dll files, and other spreadsheet versions (Open Office, Libre Office, etc) do not have these or other components that are needed to import and export. I discussed generic tab delimited data or .csv files with CoValue and they agreed to look into these and try to work with them. The time frame on that work will depend on how quickly we can identify the root causes of the issues with higher priority and get them solved.

Thanks
