• Change the character encoding in calibration report files to utf-8 so that Far-Eastern characters are displayed correctly. Bug fixes

• Fix a bug where only one trigger marker was drawn for an input channel when a binary trigger engine operation was selected, and the trigger source selected for both trigger engines was the same input channel.

• Change SFDR in "Spectrum Information" dialog box to include harmonics. Previously, only non-harmonic frequencies were used to calculate SFDR.

[1.1.23] - 2010-6-21

Added

• Add support for resizing and maximizing the main window.

• Change the "Configure Acquire" dialog and "Stream to Disk" wizard "Set multiple record options" page so that if the number of samples per record does not satisfy alignment requirements, the program suggests values that do satisfy alignment requirements.

• Change the "Configure Trigger" dialog so that when the "Enable trigger enable" button is checked and "Output" direction is selected, the trigger output signal (rather than trigger enable output signal) is output on the AUX I/O connector.

• Change the graticule font so that it has a fixed size, rather than a size proportional to the system font. This should result in better looking text with Far Eastern fonts.

• Update the program to pass AutoDMA parameters to plugin modules, and better handle AutoDMA transfers. Bug fixes

• Fix a bug that made it impossible for the Santec plugin to configure a board to generate logarithmic data.

• Fix a bug where switching from normal to full-screen mode while an acquisition was active resulted in waveforms being drawn with a noticeable staircase pattern until either the horizontal scale was changed, or the acquisition restarted.

• Fix a bug in the "Configure Horizontal" dialog external clock decimation factor for the ATS660, ATS860, or ATS9462. If the requested decimation value was greater than one, the actual decimation was one greater than requested.

• Fix an error in section 4.10.3 of the "AlazarDSO User Guide" that incorrectly stated that CAPTURE_BUFFER structures were written to an ATB file when CFHF_STREAM flag is set in the file header. Only the sample data stored in CAPTURE_BUFFER structures are written to file.

[1.1.2] - 2009-1-29

Added

• Add "Interpolate trigger position" to the "Configure Oscilloscope View" dialog. This feature helps improve the display of repetitive signals at horizontal scales that allow you to resolve sample points. The trigger position normally has a jitter of one-sample since trigger events may occur at any time between sample points. This jitter causes the trigger position in a repetitive signal to appear to shift horizontally by up to one sample point. When the "Interpolate trigger position" option is enabled, AlazarDSO calculates the trigger position in between sample points, and displays this sub-sample trigger position at the trigger marker on screen. This results in the stable display of repetitive signals by removing the one-sample jitter.

• Add "Enable AUX I/O trigger enable" to the "Configure Trigger" dialog. This option allows you to configure a board to wait for an external enable event before enabling its trigger engines. This may be useful, for example, in scanning applications where you wish to capture scan lines only after a "start of frame" event.

• Remove "number of acquisitions" from the "Set multiple record options" page of the "Stream to Disk" wizard. This simplifies the configuration of multiple-record streaming acquisitions. It also prevents the common error of specifying multiple acquisitions when multiple "transfers per acquisition" was really desired.

• Add page numbers to "Stream to Disk" wizard property sheet pages. This change should make it easier to identify pages in the wizard.

• Add the "Markers" line style to "Configure Input", "Configure Math", and "Configure Reference" dialog boxes. This option may be useful if you wish to view sample points without line segments between them.

• Change the simulator to add slew to square waves, and trigger phase error to all waveforms. This change allows the simulator to generate signals that have one-sample trigger jitter

Fixed

• Fix a bug in the simulator that resulted in incorrect simulated non-interleaved AutoDMA records with pre-trigger samples when multiple records per transfer were requested.

[1.1.1] - 2009-1-15

Added

[1.1.0] - 2009-1-6

Added

• Add the "limit memory allocated per channel" option to improve program functionality under 32-bit Windows with board systems that have 128 MS or more of on-board memory per channel. Previous versions required 64-bit Windows to work with such systems.

• Add a "Signal out of range" warning if a signal is greater than a channel's input range.

• Add UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, CTRL+UP ARROW, and CTRL+DOWN ARROW keyboard shortcuts to navigate between records in a multiple record capture.

• Add LEFT ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, HOME, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, CTRL+LEFT ARROW, and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW keyboard shortcuts to navigate within a record of a capture.

Fixed

• Change the "Configure" menu "Load..." and "Load Recent" commands to copy settings from the selected file to a working configuration file rather than using the selected file as the working configuration file.

• Fix a bug that might cause an invalid memory access error if a plugin was active while switching between board systems.

• Fix a bug where "automatically set memory options" claims to disable "capture during display" but the program continues to use "capture during display" anyway.
