Upgrades
Note: When installing CPWS, you must upgrade all clients and the database. (The new software is not
compatible with previous versions of the database.)
Do not use CPWS software on any client workstations during this process.
SpiroPerfect update
In versions before 1.5.0, Spirometry ’s predicted values were calculated differently than in newer software
releases. Predicted values were calculated at the moment a Spirometry test loaded into the system, based
on the Norm setting configured under Settings. As of version 1.5.0, the norm values are calculated at the
moment the test starts, and the values are stored with the test.
When upgrading from pre-1.5.0 software, the installation process will optionally calculate the norm values
for your Spirometry tests already in the database if it detects any Spirometry tests for which the predicted
values can be calculated. The upgrade process tries to provide the best possible match between the
pre-1.5.0 norm selection active on your system at the time of the upgrade installation, and the norms
implemented in new software release, and prompts you to confirm the mapping. If no match is found, the
suggested norm selection will be empty. You can use the norm suggested by the upgrade, select a
different norm to use, or cancel the calculation of the predicted values.
Caution: In some cases, the norm implementations differ in pre-1.5.0 versions causing differences
in the predicted values after recalculation. Full details on the norm implementation differences are
available upon request.
