Version 2.0.1.91

Release date: 6/7/2021

This release has so many new features that we decided to post a video overview.

Features Added

  • Added hints over check boxes relating to Heal Data features

  • Added layout tab in utilities

  • Added LayoutSimulation object to manage placement based on settings in record

  • Added capability to select desired layout from combo-box in view and perform

  • Added ability for grid to rotate with CScan

  • Added ability for CScan to rotate

  • Added UT settings panel in UT Setup/Calibrate with advanced settings (requiring PRD update)

  • Modified Amplitude B-Scan palette per user feedback

  • GraphicCal: changed location and description of Clear Dataset button (to avoid confusion) — GraphicCal: Automatically clear and set focus on Edit box (per user feedback)

Fixes

  • Clear Dataset button fixed - variables initialized so that chart resets after ban entry.

  • Fixed images compiled into report that have been rotated by property in layout by saving a copy of the image with -Rotated.ext to use in the compiled report

Version 2.0.1.78

Release date: 3/3/2020

No feature or fix details were provided for this release in the original file.

Version 2.0.1.77

Release date: 2/17/2020

Features Added

  • Added release notes link (bottom right) so we can better communicate added features and fixes.

  • Added Please Wait form while loading large A-Scan Array to inform user better.

  • Added Amplitude B-Scan (horizontal and vertical) in C-Scan control

  • Added ability to use spectrum color instead of gray scale Alt=F6

  • Added feed-back on C-Scan control of re-gate region being operated on.

  • Added ability to lock/unlock cross-hairs on C-Scan control so that a user does not inadvertently load gates from another bin by sweeping over the control. (del key)

  • Added Image of area to statistics dialog

  • Added export to excel to statistics dialog

  • Updated StiSceneViewer (V 1.0.0.7)to match AnalystXR (Filter vertex drawing when in transition to zero reading to prevent average facet color to be RED)

  • Trapped Carriage Width error message from SBC and show warning dialog for clarity.

  • Added ability to Heal data if possible. Requires 3 gate setup echo to echo. When gate 2 is not broken the algorithm attempts to use interface to G1 TOF modified statistically for delta between G1-G2 TOF and IF-G1 TOF. This will help fill in some data when echo to echo is required but signal return is difficult to achieve.

Fixes

  • Attempt to solve ghost image due to timing of windows affects when saving named image

  • Fixed rare issue when pasting selected color-map settings; C-Scan image would be duplicated

  • Fixed run-time format error while exporting csv in scan map dimension mode.
