New in LabChart Reader 7.3.4.7 (Jul 23, 2012)

  • NEW FEATURES:
  • Arithmetic:
  • There is a new StepSize() function available in Arithmetic which outputs a running measure of any step in the source data. It is calculated by using running linear regressions, one before and one after the current output position.
  • There are new Min(), Max(), MinSec(), MaxSec() and MedianSec() functions available in Arithmetic. Min() and Max()calculate a running minimum or maximum over the samples in a window. For the MinSec(), MaxSec() and MedianSec() functions the window length is specified in seconds rather than samples.
  • A live data preview has been added to the Arithmetic dialog. This live preview shows what the equation will look like before the user OKs the dialog.
  • Error reporting has been improved – Arithmetic will now report if an equation is invalid when entered.
  • Data Pad:
  • The Cyclic Measurements functions Average Cyclic Maximum Derivative and Average Cyclic Minimum Derivative are now available in the Data Pad.
  • A new button has been added to the Data Pad toolbar which reveals any formulae used to calculate cell values.
  • Dragging the control box in the bottom right corner of a selection when in cell edit mode will tile the contents of the selected cells through the expanded selection. This is usually used to auto fill with a formula after preparing a single cell or row or column.
  • CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION:
  • There have been various enhancements and changes to the following:
  • The SmoothSec() Arithmetic function now allows a window width of greater than 60 seconds.
  • Improvements have been made to the Cyclic Measurements Integral calculation.
  • Cells within the top row in the Data Pad are now highlighted when selected.

New in LabChart Reader 7.3.2 (Feb 21, 2012)

  • New Features - Scope View:
  • Support has been added for background subtractions in Scope. This allows users to remove periodic, high-amplitude features from a signal. This is achieved by specifying a particular Scope View page as 'background' which is then subtracted from all pages in the file.

New in LabChart Reader 7.3 (Oct 28, 2011)

  • Data Pad - LabChart Reader 7.3 features a completely new Data Pad, built from the ground up and powered by the new ADInstruments Spreadsheet Engine. The Data Pad has a fresh new user interface and a number of feature and performance enhancements.
  • Documentation - The PDF documentation has now been replaced with an interactive help feature. All LabChart Reader windows have a button that links to the help topic associated with that window's features. Searching in LabChart Reader's help has also been improved, making it quicker and easier to find information.
  • File Opening - LabChart Reader for Mac is now able to simultaneously open and display multiple LabChart data files.
  • Scope View - Scope View is a powerful feature that is now included in LabChart Reader for Mac v7.3. The Scope View allows you to overlay multiple "pages" of data for comparison, much like the sweeps of an oscilloscope. Pages are generated from events that can be automatically detected and averaged. This is particularly useful when analyzing cyclical measurements, for example.

New in LabChart Reader 7.2 (Jul 25, 2011)

  • Continuous Auto Scale:
  • A new toolbar button has been added next to the Auto Scale button that turns on continuous auto-scaling. Continuous auto-scaling re-scales the channels in the Chart View (that are included in Auto Scale All Channels) periodically during sampling and following scrolling.

New in LabChart Reader 7.1 (Mar 8, 2010)

  • Adds Apple Help with topics for many of the dialogs and windows. Apple Help buttons have been added to over 20 locations for direct access to the relevant help.
