This latest version includes the following additions:

• Acel & Decel Tests
  You can now scan your logged files for preset and custom performance tests, such as 0-60, 0-100, 0-100-0 etc, without having to use the Graph Measure Tool. Each scan brings up a set of results in the Report Generator window.
  
• Export Results
  All test and lap time results can now be exported in various formats, such as .csv, .txt, .xls.
  
• Fastest Lap Highlight
  When scanning a file for lap times, the fastest lap is now highlighted in the Report Generator window.
  
• Lap Times in Minutes and Seconds
  Lap results are now produced in minutes and seconds rather than just seconds.
  
• G-Circle
  This completely new feature, otherwise known as a friction circle, allows you to examine your performance in braking and acceleration in one plot.
  
• Arrange Windows
  A useful feature if any of the windows in the software have been 'lost', when using a double-screen setup for instance.
  
• Set Postion Cursor Type
  The porition cursors in the Graph:Map may now be altered in shape and colour to easily differentiate between different runs when comparing laps.

Previous release (1.7.2 - Build 01, release date 16/05/07) of the PerformanceTools software contained the following additions:

• KML Import
  Using Google Earth Plus^TM, it is possible to create and export .kml files which can then be imported into PerformanceTools. This is particularly useful for creating circuit overlays without having to physically drive the track.
• KML Export Offset
  When a .dbn file is exported as a .kml for use in Google Earth^TM, the software now prompts for an X and Y offset. Not all images in Google Earth^TM are exactly positionally accurate, so some files may appear to 'miss' roadways or circuits. This option enables you to export your files more accurately to better represent the lines actually taken.
• Split Names
  When creating splits in the laptiming facility, the split points can actually be named (such as Stowe or Luffield at Silverstone, or The Corkscrew at Laguna Seca) and these split points appear with their respective names in the laptiming data window. Exporting .kml files with split points retains these names, so they will appear on the satellite photos in Google Earth^TM.
• Lap Highlight
  With lap data being displayed in the ‘Report Generator – Circuit Test’, individual laps are highlighted in the main Graph screen by clicking on any of the values at the bottom of individual lap/split data tables.
• Image Import into Graph Map Window
  You can import any image of your choosing into the Graph Map by right-clicking on either the Graph:Data, Graph:Map, or Graph windows and selecting the Graph: Map Background Image>Load option.

Previous release (1.6.1 - Build 28, release date 08/11/06) of the PerformanceTools software contained the following additions:

• Track and Lap Alignment
  Compared data displayed on the Graph Map can now be realigned to compensate for positional shift, particularly useful for those wishing to carry out more detailed drive-line analysis.
• Export to Google Earth
  PerformanceBox Files can now be exported for viewing in Google Earth without the need to upgrade to Google Earth Plus.
• File Repair
  On loading a PerformanceBox file which contains dropouts due to intermittent satellite reception (from passing under a bridge, for instance) PerformanceTools will automatically display a warning to this effect. The file can then be repaired from the Tools menu.
