HealthWizard—Software Updates  

Here at MicroFit we are constantly improving the HealthStar Manager software and release program updates 1-3 times a year. The major new features of these updates are listed below. The update features are cumulative, so each new update will include the features of all the previous updates. If your school has a MicroFit service contract, minor software updates will be automatically mailed to you about 30 days after the release date. If your school does not own a service contract, you may purchase an update program CD by contacting MicroFit Sales.

Version 5.3.0        Released August 2005
Rubrics
HealthStar Manager and HealthStar Tracker now include rubric assessment. You can create an unlimited number of rubrics and design reports that include one or more rubrics, special insert codes and text comments. Rubrics you create can be exported to a file and shared with other HealthStar users. Student rubric scores can be entered either on the PC or on a handheld computer running the HealthStar Tracker program.
FITNESS PROFILE
If your HealthStar computer is connected to the MicroFit FAS-2 fitness assessment equipment, there is a new Calibrate button located on the Fitness Profile test screen. This convenient button location makes it quick and easy to check the calibration of a testing device or do a re-calibration if needed.
PACER Test Scores
You can now enter PACER test scores for students of all ages. Previously you could not enter scores for students under age 10.
1 Mile Run
You can now enter 1 Mile Run test scores for students of all ages. Previously you could not enter scores for students under age 10.
Sit Reach: Back-Saver
You can now enter Sit Reach: Back-Saver test scores above 12 inches. Previously the HealthStar program limited the maximum score to 12 inches.
FAS-2 Equipment Calibration
Prior to this version, if a computer had the HealthStar Manager and HealthWizard software programs installed – and these programs were connected to the MicroFit FAS-2 testing equipment – it was necessary to do a separate FAS-2 calibration in each of the software programs. Now the FAS-2 calibration is shared between the two programs and the calibration performed in one program will be recognized in the other program.
User’s Guide
The HealthStar Manager User’s Guide (Help program) has been expanded to include more content. Help buttons have been added to most of the forms for better access to help information.
HealthStar Tracker
The fitness assessment button label has been changed from an A to an F. A new R button has been added for the new Rubrics feature.
Sit Reach: Back-Saver
You can now enter Sit Reach: Back-Saver test scores above 12 inches. Previously the HealthStar program limited the maximum score to 12 inches.
