This mode will acquire and display the data without creating an HPF file. - Improved performance of multiple DT8874 instruments running continuously for long time periods. - Added new zooming functionality, including the ability to undo to last zoom operation, through a popup toolbar next to the scrollbar. - Modified File Export dialog box to allow user configurable time column format and statistics option. - Optimized scrollbar performance resulting in faster click and drag operation. - Improved low memory handling so control is returned to the user more effectively. - Channel comment field was added to Device Configuration dialog box. - Fixed issue where user interface would flash when performing operationally intensive updates. - Fixed issue with cursor separator character. - Fixed issue when opening hpf file with comma separator. - Fixed issue where "Open in Excel" button was enabled for tab delimited (.txt) files. - Fixed issue where DT9805/06 was returning incorrect temperature values. - Fixed issue where column headers were incorrect when using relative time option. - Fixed issue where FFT x-axis maximum frequency value was being limited when running with no hardware connected. - Changed column name from “Serial Number” to “Device-ID”. - Fixed issue where HPF file would not open with no hardware connected. - Fixed issue where data export only wrote 1 channel of data after opening an HPF with no hardware connected. - Fixed issue where DT9857 D/A subsystem group delay was not being accounted for when running A/D and D/A subsystems simultaneously. - Modified screen text for evaluation version in order to clarify that it relates to FFT options only. - Fixed issue where DT9862 would not operate with sampling rates greater than 5MHz. - Fixed issue where DT9829 current channels would not allow user selectable scaling value to be entered. - Added support for allowing up to 4 DT9829 modules to be used. - Fixed issue where multiple device selection was allowing incompatible devices to be selected. - Fixed issue where Configure Devices dialog was not displaying Input Type and Range columns after opening an HPF file recorded with a DT9829. - Fixed issue where values on the vertical axis of a plot display are not displayed properly. - Fixed issue where the Device Selection invoked from QuickDAQ was not allowing additional devices to be added unless existing devices were first removed. - Selected voltage or current channels with a DT9829 now automatically enable termination resistors for enhanced usability. - Fixed issue where hidden characters were present at the beginning of exported files. - Filtered data is now saved to HPF file. - Removed “Disable plotting during acquisition” button. - Fixed issued where cursor value being exactly 0 caused value to be blank. - Fixed issue where plot jumped back to the top after scrolling down and clicking on plot controls out of view. - Fixed issue where Device Selection menu was incorrectly enabled while DAC was running. - Added ability to easily set time domain X-Axis Span value with “Same as run length” checkbox. - Modified dynamic performance algorithms to calculate total signal power with a greater number of FFT bins. - Fixed issue in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculation where operations were incorrectly performed in volts units instead of volts squared units. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (F) Changes from Version 3.6.0.0 - Improved DT887x multi-unit performance by reducing possible overflow issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (E) Changes from Version 3.5.1.0 - Added support for DT9857 Series modules. - Fixed exception issue when exporting data to UFF file. - Fixed unexpected error issue when attempting to return counts on CT subsystems. - Fixed potential file corruption issue when streaming data over a network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (D) Changes from Version 3.5.0.13 - Fixed issue where temperature was always returned in Celsius regardless of unit selection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (C) Changes from Version 3.0.0.0 - Support for the DT9829 module - Digital Filter support - Support for exporting large files - Updated the wording of the license dialog, and ensured that the application would start correctly after entering a license key. - Improved how the application deals with unhandled exceptions so that the application is restarted or terminated correctly. - If a freq domain X-Axis range was manually set, then an .hpf file open then closed, the manually set range was set back to the default. - Some UI left disabled after closing an hpf file - Input config dialog. When more than 16 channels were available, changing the edit unit on a channel > 16 then selecting the next channel would result in a group of lower channels being selected. - If two FFT channels were in the same signal group, and the x-axis min/max was changed in the axis properties dialog, the new range would get reset to the default when starting acquisition. - If two FFT channels were in the same signal group, and one’s original Y axis was set to autoscale, and the other to manual scale, it could revert to autoscale or manual after being changed in the options dialog. - Open Time data in Excel when in FFT mode could log absolute time if that is what was set in logger mode. - The checkbox to “Disable plotting during acquisition” was sometimes visible, sometime not in FFT mode. It is always visible now. - When the Device Selection dialog is opened from the app “Device Selection” menu option, the Master checkbox column was not shown for boards with the sync bus. - Default Ethernet device password dialog to mask characters - Make FFT peak detection more sensitive. As part of this the high/low values have been removed. Also fixed (but not reported) changing the number of peaks was clearing the display. - Default Cursor and FFT channel colors to match the source channel color - Fixed a potential off by 1 error when calculating fixed waveform buffer length. - Improved app startup time performance. - When the x axis is set to absolute time and display day checked, the day was not changing when acquiring past midnight. - FFT XY cursor values were displayed wrong if regional number decimal format was set to period for decimal symbol and comma digit grouping symbol. - Cursor colors were not consistently saved/restored in XML and HPF - Implemented feature request to save the hpf file sequence number with the configuration. - The file sequence number displayed is now the next file to be created. Previously it would increment after starting recording so if you specified seq number 2, the file would actually be -3. - The Device Selection window did not display an icon in the taskbar. - TTL Trigger from DT9812 is now supported. - Display units for 1st and 2nd FFT integration in a better way. - Fixed wording on the first page of the strain configuration wizard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (B) Changes from Version V2.0.0.5 - Added FFT Analyzer and Advanced FFT Analyzer options - Bug fixes - DT9839E Support - DT9838E Support - Added File menu options to open data and export folders - Added Delta column to Statistics which display Max-Min ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (A) Changes from Version V2.0.0.4 - DT9839 Support - Bug fix - Auto-increment of numeric postfix value on exported files was not working - Allow negative mV/Unit value in Channel Configuration - Make restarting the application after an unhandled exception optional
