1.2.58.268 11-July-2010 ------------------- 11-07-2010: Upgraded the compiler platform to Embarcadero C++ Builder 2010. This required a few invisible code changes. Reorganised the installation package (NOTE THE NEW COLOUR). YOU MUST FULLY MANUALLY UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION TO AVOID DUPLICATING START MENU ITEMS 17-06-2010: Added a variable delay between setting the address of an OM-1000 scaler byte and reading the data. Increasing this MAY help to deal with erratic scaler reads with fast processor systems. ============================================================================ 1.2.57.247 11-May-2010 ------------------- 11-05-2010: Added an option to save the information in the stripchart graphs into a .CSV file for opening in Excel. 30-04-2010: Added an option in the GUPIX parameters dialog to allow the DOS GUPIX process to be spawned without the .BAT file wrapper. This MAY help to deal with some problems on legacy systems. ============================================================================ 1.2.56.236 22-Mar-2010 ------------------- 22-03-2010: Implemented Programmed Runs. Runs of any kind (map, line, points) at different sample stage positions can be stored in a list to be executed at a later time. 19-03-2010: Added an automatic logging option to the Load All Files command. This allows you to retrospectively and automatically create a summary log of all the OMDAQ runs in a folder. ============================================================================ 1.2.55.231 12-Mar-2010 ------------------- 12-03-2010: Major changes to the GUPIX interface. OMDAQ2007 now works with the GUPIXWIN processing engine and although the GUPIX-DOS interface will be continued for existing users, this will no longer be developed or maintained. GUPIXWIN will not be shipped with OMDAQ2007 and it is the user's responsibility to install GUPIXWIN on the PC. See the development log page in the OMDAQ2007 help file for more information. 07-03-2010 Changed the Map Appearance dialog to include a true colour scale which can be copied to the clipboard for use in publicatios using colour maps 02-03-2010: Implemented automatic run log keeping with user comments for each run. 01-03-2010: Fixed the Open Folder | Current Data command so that it actually opens the folder contining the currently active data object. 13-02-2010: Added software defined speed limits for the XYZ stage motor axes. See the XYZ stage advanced configuration dialog in the help file. ============================================================================ 1.1.54.224 21-Jan-2010 ------------------- 09-02-10: Fixed a bug in the transfer of run parameters after Modify Spectrum Parameters. 08-02-10: Implemented trial version of autocorrelation beam size characterisation. ============================================================================ 1.1.54.223 21-Jan-2010 ------------------- 21-01-10: Redesigned the scan calibration wizard to improve the useability. ============================================================================ 1.1.54.221 11-Dec-2009 ------------------- 12-12-09: Improved the way that database files (*.ddb) are archived. Now old files are saved in a time labelled folder, ensuring that an hourly backup is preserved. 11-12-09: Some minor housekeeping improvements (mainly to ensure that defined spectra have a named detector. 09-12-09: Added the flyback scanning option. ============================================================================ 1.1.54.219 01-Dec-2009 ------------------- 01-12-09: Fixed the automatic updater so that it does not check on every startup! 26-11-09: Implemented one option for software scan size control. See the major new section in the Help file. 24-11-09: Changes to the image processing options for 2D maps: - Low level clipping. - Live update of active map during adjustment. 01-11-09: Minor changes to the notification windows. ============================================================================ 1.1.54.213 26-Oct-2009 ------------------- 26-10-09: Added a STARTSTOP output pulse at the start and end of each run to enable the synchronisation of OMDAQ with other DAQ systems. 07-10-09: Repaired a bug in the ADCs command which meant that all spectra were created from scratch when the dialog closed (losing all maps and calibration). 09-09-09: Added the derivative option to the spectrum display. ============================================================================ 1.1.53.210 28-Aug-2009 ------------------- 28-Aug-09: Repaired a bug in the GUPIX option which caused a GUPIX crash if the OMDAQ spectrum file had a short non-standard name. 28-Aug-09: Made the runtime field in Specrum info editable (to allow the count rate to be controlled for non-OMDAQ data files). Also made the default runtime proportional to total counts (with a notional count rate of 1kHz). ============================================================================ 1.1.53.209 27-Aug-2009 ------------------- 27-08-09: Repaired the installation file. It was inadvertently installing some Vista library files, which meant that the program did not run under XP 25-08-09: Added Version History menu command (under Help) ============================================================================ 1.1.53.208 25-Aug-2009 ------------------- 25-08-09: Fixed some strange behaviour in the Open File dialog box 25-08-09: Fixed a fatal bug affecting new installations; the RBS cross section loader was trying to write to the Log window before it had been created. 25-08-09: Changes to the formatting of the Check For Updates dialog box ============================================================================ 1.1.53.207 24-Aug-2009 ------------------- 24-08-09: Changes to the ReadSimpleAscii rountine in DataIO.DLL. Now if the number of channels is not a binary number, the spectrum is padded out with zeros at the top to the next binary number. Also added a new parameter to force the reading of a spectrum or a map. See the DataIO.DLL help file 30-07-09: Added sample cache commands. See help. ============================================================================ 1.1.52.200 22-Jul-2009 ------------------- 24-07-09: Fixed LoadAllFilesForRun so that it does not try to load BMP files.
