New XYPlot. Setup procedure is slightly different. See Help from XYPlot for more details
Pdf and tiff now have seperate horizontal and vertical resolutions. If you don’t edit anything then the resolutions are equal as they were before the change was made. For example, the Printrex 920 resolution is 300x200, so to make an image compatible with that printer it would need to have similar resolutions.

Bypass rate output, calculation based on WHFLOW1 (pumping pressure), LSPD (cable speed), Casing OD and Casing thickness
Warrior gauge updates: Numeric gauge will now honor the background color, so some gauges may start up with a white background that were gray before. Use the gauge properties to set the background color. You can now select the font size in addition to the font style and override the number of characters to determine the font size. You can set a default font for all gauges from the Warrior Control Panel -> Acquisition tab.
Added option to multiarm IMG module for displaying image to scale. With this option, image 3D and potato plots will change size as different sized casing are logged rather than auto-scaling the image.

  • Multiple pass automerge - easier to sort and scroll.
  • Enhanced control panel.
  • More options for printing to an image.
  • Can use pdf for plot job input.
  • New Installshield installer.

Warrior 8 databases cannot be read by previous versions of Warrior, but Warrior 8 can read older databases.

Windows XP:

The minimum operating system supported is Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Known issues on Windows XP:

Microsoft has updated the list of third-party certification authorities that are trusted by Windows but on Windows XP this update is not installed automatically. The user must download and install the update package (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125).

Without this update, Warrior programs may give an 0x800b010a error when starting as the system is unable to verify the digital signature of certain system files. Alternatively, the user can install the two intermediate certificates (primary and secondary) which are found in the Warrior Bin folder. These give an alternative path back to a trusted root certificate.
Multifinger caliper:

Removed presentation options for 'Make window bigger' and 'Bulge factor'. Warrior 7 plots will match Warrior 8 plots by setting both of those parameters to 0 in Warrior 7.
