10. Possible crash when opening analyses with PDA views from explorer. #27673
11. The option to create QR codes in the report designer was missing.
12. Parquet extract did not work when no signals were selected to extract (e.g. if you only want to extract infofields or computed columns).
13. If the command line parameters /trendsql and /sql were used simulteneously, only the query command was executed, the trendquery command was ignored.
14. ibaAnalyzer-DB: pdo blob store didn't work. #28368
15. Comments of logicals were missing in the search dialog. #28157
16. ibaHD-server:
    1. When querying digital signals on the raw level as non-equidistant data in a time-range where there is no data, the reported time-range was wrong. #27808

Bugfixes (B)

1. Crash when dragging a channel group (e.g. a module) containing only one channel.
2. Float fields of time periods were not sent culture invariant, causing them to be interpreted wrongly when the system locale did not have a dot as decimal point.
3. Auto time-base not selected correctly for time-periods. They were also not updated frequently enough.
4. Several instances where data in views were not loaded. #27696 #27692

   • Support for order calculations in speed or length mode.
   • Slave windows to analyze the time signal and the spectrum of each plane in the waterfall.
   • Slice slave windows to study the spectrum at a frequency which is moving in time.
   • Marker-spectrum slave windows displaying a scatterplot: a frequency which is moving in time against the spectrum values at these frequencies.
   • Support for markers: dynamic and static, harmonics, sidebands and different visualization settings.
   • Report generation is fully supported: the waterfall window and the individual slave windows can be used in a report, both as a whole and separately.
2. TDMS files can be imported (requires E-dat license).
3. 'FromText' function allows conversion of text channels to numeric channels.
4. Layout of dockable windows (e.g. grids, signal tree, ...) can be reset to the default (Menu -> View -> Reset window Layout).
5. 'PulseFreq' function, create a frequency signal from a pulse or pulse-counter.
6. 'SetYatX' function, changes one sample in a signal at a specified location.
7. 'AbsoluteTime' function, converts relative times (i.e. seconds from files start, like reported by 'XFirst' and 'XValues' functions), to absolute recording times. The function reports the components of the absolute time as a vector:
   • Row 0: milliseconds part.
   • Row 1: seconds part.
   • Row 2: minutes part.
   • Row 3: hours part.
   • Row 4: day of month.
   • Row 5: month part.
   • Row 6: year part.
   • Row 7: day of year part.
   • Row 8: day of week (monday=1, sunday=7)
   You can use the 'GetRows' function to extract the desired component(s).
8. For info fields that are too long to represent entirely in the signal tree, a multiline tooltip is present, i.e. hoover over the infofield to see it entirely.
9. Option to choose the format in which numerical values are written to an ASCII file available in export dialog (same as in the extract to ASCII file options).
10. Options to show or hide the column(s) for the module name, signal name, comments and unit in the signal search dialogs.
11. When exporting graphs as an image to file or clipboard, the specified width and height are now persistent rather than taken from the graph. A button is present to reset the width and height to the dimensions of the selected graph.
12. Infofields with a dot in their key name, get shown hierarchically.
13. Module infofields (ibaPDA 6.33, e.g. inspectra modules) are shown in the signal tree and can be used in expressions with the new 'ModuleInfofield' and 'ModuleInfofieldText' functions.
14. Sending a report by e-mail can now be done conditionally by setting an ibaAnalyzer expression in the report e-mail options.
15. When importing CSV files (text files), you can specify that the data should be loaded in high precision.

Improvements (I)

1. Updated french and spanish resources.
2. 'IF' function adapted so that it does not resample its condition signal if the condition signal is non-equidistant.
3. Video-files longer than 4 hours will be split up in multiple files when exporting them externally from the .dat file.
4. 'Dif' and 'Ceil' functions renamed to 'Diff' and 'Ceiling' to correspond with ibaPDA. For backwards compatibility, the old function names still work, however no intellisense is provided when using them and they are no longer present in the expression builder.
5. When trying to start a query while there is no sql license, you'll get a warning message rather than an error message (red round icon changed to exlamation point in triangle).
6. Count function adapted with default parameters for 'edgeType' = 1 and 'hysteresis' = 0 and 'level' = 0.5 so that counting rising edges only takes one parameter (the pulse itself).
7. Infofields in the report generator are no longer presented in a tree structure for new analyses, only the flat structure as implemented in 6.4.2 is present. For old analyses where report parameters were already present (created with 6.4.2 or earlier) ibaAnalyzer goes into a 'compatibility mode' where still both structures are presented.
8. Permission is asked to load an embedded analysis from a .dat file. You can disable the behaviour in the preferences. Additionally, if your current analysis contains modifications, you'll be asked to save it before loading the embedded analysis.
9. When searching in comments in the search dialogs, visualized channels that have been given a comment in the signal grid will now be considered as well if the given comment matches the search string
10. Infofields for group and module names and dongle information infofields are no longer shown in the signal tree.
11. The little triangles to indicate that graphs are not visible took too much space when several adjacent graphs are hidden. To save space, the triangles are now placed horizontally instead of vertically.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Macros with vectors as input arguments did not work properly if the result of the macro itself returns a vector (e.g. using MakeVector).
2. Clicking the visible icon in the legend did not always invalidate the graph.
3. Blank infofields in the print-out caused extra pages.
4. Constant texts in reports through infofields did not work.
5. The option "show bits" was shown for digital signals in the context menu of the signal tree. "show bits" does not make sense for digital signals.
6. Occasional crash when opening older analysis files (generated with an ibaAnalyzer version older than 5.4.0) that have FFT views.
7. Reports with graphs rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees did not work if the graph takes nearly the entire page (a black rectangle was depicted).
8. Exporting or extracting text-channels; the first text of the signal was skipped.
9. Non-equidistant sampled signals were exported with wrong timebase.
10. Signal tree didn't hide unsupported HD signal types

 

Version 6.4.2 - 2014-06-03

New features (N)

1. Ability to specify multiple path replacements for ibaCapture-HMI and server replacements for ibaCapture-CAM.
2. Password protection of logicals.
3. Ability to specify ranges in signal id's to auto-generate multidimensional signals.

Improvements (I)

1. The labels of textchannels are now sorted in the same order as the channels appear in the legends (it was reversed previously).
2. XY-Plots are by default only partially drawn if the corresponding X-axis (e.g. for time based signals the time-axis) is zoomed in. This behaviour can now be disabled. By default it is still enabled.
3. The ibaAnalyzer file dialog is now resizable.
4. Licensing is altered so that no license is reserved at ibaAnalyzer start but at the time an operation is performed that requires a license.
5. Infofields added in the "info columns" tab of the report generator are duplicated as variables in the report designer under the node "InfoFields". Under this node, the info fields do not have an additional parent; they are shown flatly. This enables one to modify the contents of the info fields (i.e. select parts of a different source info field) without needing to change the report.
6. When double clicking an infofield, an Infofield rather than an InfofieldText expression is created only if the entire field is numeric. In previous versions, it sufficed that the infofield started numerically.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Clicking on the legend of a half visible chart caused a drag operation to be started because the graph was scrolled into view.
2. When a camera search result was selected (dragged or double clicked) in the main window search dialog, not the camera view itself but the synchronisation signal was opened.
3. For data that was not runlength encoded, the feature to drag markers to sample points by holding Ctrl was not working.
4. For embedded analyses that had floating windows, the floating windows were unresponsive when the analysis was loaded.
5. Crash when operating the ibaCapture-CAM player with arrow keys.
6. When moving markers and using macros, unnecessary re-evaluation of expressions happened, causing significent performance degradation.
7. When having length-time marker synchronization, crash happened when loading a new analysis.
8. If both a report and extract where asked through command line switches, only the extract happened.

 

Version 6.4.1 - 2014-03-17

New features (N)

1. VectorLSQPolyCoef: Calculates a least squares fit of a multidimensional signal in profile direction for each sample. Returns a vector of coefficients
2. VectorPolynomial: Function to generate the polynomial approximation from the vector of coefficients returned by the above function.
3. When using appended files, there is the option to show length signals either concatenated (one signal following the other) or to synchronize on the absolute lengths (usefull if the signals have offsets).

Improvements (I)

1. Extracted expressions have precedence over signals when referring signals by name from an extracted .dat file.
2. In previous versions of ibaAnalyzer, the order in which infofields and computed columns were shown in the info tab was decided by when they were added. In the current version, the order is decided by how they are ordered in their respective grids and infofields are shown first.

Bug fixes (B)

1. The If function did not return a digital signal if all its arguments were digital.
2. Multiselect in the signalgrid was not working if another grid tab (markers, statistics or harmonic marker) was visible as well
3. Crash when opening a .dat file through command line or double click if the .dat file contains embedded videos and analysis and expressions in the info grid.
4. Drill down on appended hd-queries and then performning a drill up did not restore the appended file.
5. Drill down was not correct when multiple HD queries were opened with different time ranges and the option to synchronize data on time was selected.
6. Max and min subsignals were not correctly aligned when multiple HD queries were opened with different time ranges and the option to synchronize data on time was selected.
7. Displaying groups in the signaltree was broken.
8. On abort of an extract or export, temporary video files were not cleaned up.
9. Table data in the report dialog: expressions typed in the grids did not color red if invalid.
10. When used from ibaDatCoordinator, ibaAnalyzer did not forward errors to ibaDatCoordinator when errors happened during Report generation.
11. Marker visibility dialog: the diagnose buttons did not evaluate the expressions in the correct domain (time-based for frequency, length-based for inverse length).
12. Importing signals, if more signals are present in the signalgrid than the imported file, the signals near the end did not get removed.

 

Version 6.4.0 - 2014-01-06

New features (N)

1. Search dialog tabbed to the signal tree in expression builder, computed fields dialog (report and extract), logicals dialog, report chart fields dialog and report table data dialog.
2. The Computed columns tab has a splitter now between the signal tree and grid so they can be resized.
3. Possibility to hide signals from legend (with an icon in the legend, similar to PDA).
4. Option to have the X-axises always visible.
5. Add, Remove, Export and Info and Swap buttons added to computed field grids and techno grids (report and database dialogs).
6. New SignalToVector function.
7. Vectors can now be specified in the chart fields tab of the report designer. If multiple vectors are specified, the elements of the vectors get concatenated.
8. An icon is shown in the legend for HD signals to indicate if the signal can be drilled down.
9. One can select in HD setup and preferences whether 'drill down' and 'undo drill down' works on all HD signals, the signals in the selected graph or the selected signal.
10. One can select in HD setup and preferences that no zoomout operation is done after an 'undo drill down' operation is performed.
11. A list of the most recently used HD-servers is added to the HD-store picker in the HD-Query dialog, connection tab.
12. This version can read channels that are not runlength encoded (currently only generated by ibaFiles 6.2.0).

Improvements (I)

1. While editing macros, unnecessary updating of the logicals happened, this has been eliminated. Additionally, there is an option to disable external logical evaluation altogether. By default this option is enabled.
2. The export dialog is now resizable.
3. The 'VectorToSignal' function is now adapted so that the second argument can be omitted. If the argument is omitted, the x-offset of the returned signal is the Z-offset of the vector and the (possibly non-equidistant) sampling is determined by the zone-widths .
4. The Rand and Time function can now take length-based arguments and return length-based results.
5. Installer adapted to allow windows 8.1 as operating system.
6. The "Show bits" option in the context menu of the signal tree is now also implemented for 32 bit integer and double precision signals.
7. 3D plot of multiple single dimensional plots is again 'waterfall'-like in wireframe plots and now shows bands in surface plots.

Bug fixes (B)

1. An XY plot of two length-based signals did not autoscale properly.
2. Precision problems with the StdDevValid and StdDevInTime functions fixed.
3. When a vector was used in an expression and that vector had zone-widths or an X-offset, the zone-widths were not set in the resulting vector.
4. When exporting and importing markers, any markers with the 1st preset color selected (normally blue), were changed to the 2nd preset color (red).
5. When a 3D graph was scrolled out of the top of the recorder view, so it is below the menu and toolbar, the menu and toolbar could not be clicked anymore.
6. HD queries: groups that contained subgroups but no signals themselves where omitted from the signal tree.
7. Crash when using the license server.
8. 'Show bits' option in the signal tree context menu didn't work for signals from an HD query.
9. When extracting to a .dat file or .txt file and not specifying the output filename but only the output folder, the automatically generated filename was incorrect.
10. Overlay text setup was not available anymore from the ibaCapture-CAM player windows context menu, the command was grayed out.
11. Performance issue for large analysis with lots of dependent expressions fixed.
12. In printouts, it could happen that horizontal markers (XY-graphs) were drawn for hidden graphs.
13. Memory leak when using the license server fixed.

 

Version 6.3.1 - 2013-10-16

New features (N)

1. Optional parameter for the IsData function to shorten or lengthen the returned signal. This enables one to make the returning signal match the size of another signal.

Improvements (I)

1. IbaAnalyzer is modified to take significantly less resources when ran from ibaDatCoordinator (version 1.20.0).
2. The XSize, XSumValid and CountSamples functions now return constant 0 if the inputsignal is invalid. In previous versions nothing was returned.
3. Date formatting (on the time-axis, in grids and in the export dialog) now follows the users regional settings instead of being hard coded.
4. The ibaAnalyzer small icon (used in the program title bar and windows quick start menu.) has been modified to resemble the larger icons, this change also reflects on analysis files (.pdo) when they are shown in explorer with small icons.
5. The textfile import dialog is now resizable.
6. Maximum length of a line when importing textfiles increased from 20 KB to 64 KB.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Restored the functionality to select other colors for the signals than the predined colors (e.g. by RGB value). This was missing since 6.0.0
2. When creating a logical from the signal grid (by selecting this from the context menu) units and comments were not copied.
3. When having several files open with signals that have no name, the ID is taken as the automatic name of a signal, however a spurious prefix was added to it. (E.g. 1_[1_1:0]). The prefix has been removed.
4. Markers were not visible in the print preview since version 6.0.0.
5. The maximize button and restoring the ibaAnalyzer window position from a previous session did not work correctly.
6. When Exporting/Importing markers, the selected color was ignored.
7. Comments of logicals where ignored when visualizing the logical.
8. Extract renumbering by adding module offsets did not work anymore when specifying only a global module offset.
9. Crash when using ibaCapture-CAM version prior to 3.5.0
10. Using parameters with numeric formatting didn't work for marker dependant values.
11. Downloading the manual failed when a previous manual was already downloaded.

 

Version 6.3.0 - 2013-09-23

New features (N)

1. ibaHD-Server integration.
2. Parameterizable legend tooltips.
3. Formatting (width and precision) for numeric values in parametrized legends and legend tooltips is possible.
4. The controls in the macro design dialog and logicals dialog are now resizable.
5. It is now possible to specify an alternative path to load macros and filters from.

Improvements (I)

1. The option to 'align digital signals on top' is changed to 'align digital signals with legend'.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Order in which the signals in a graph are painted was incorrect compared to PDA.
2. The .dat autoload functionality did not consider renamed .dat files as new .dat files, which is problematic if the file is placed by for example an ftp client.
3. IbaAnalyzer crashed when macros were defined that called themselves recursively. Recursion is still not possible but now does not longer cause ibaAnalyzer to crash.
4. When having the option to interpolate data active, 32 bit integer data was not processed correctly.
5. Extract renumbering by adding module offsets did not work anymore.
6. When extracting or importing .dat files with videos extracted as separate files, the files overwrote each other. This has been changed so that indices are added to the names if the files already exist.
7. In the export dialog, when embedding or exporting video files separately, it was not possible to export only the trigger signals of videos (by deselecting the parent channel).
8. While exporting a graph to file or the clipboard, the specified dimensions where ignored.

 

Version 6.2.0 - 2013-07-03

Improvements (I)

1. Installer adapted to allow windows server 2012 and windows 8 as operating systems.
2. This version works with the new license service (ibaLicenseService-V2). This version is NOT compatible with the old license server (ibaLicenseService).

Bug fixes (B)

1. Embedding an analysis in an extracted .dat file did not work when the .dat file was extracted non-interactively.

 

Version 6.1.1 - 2013-05-08

New features (N)

1. Vectorsum function.
2. GetZoneCenters function.
3. VectorToSignal function.

Improvements (I)

1. In ibaAnalyzer 6.1.0 when showing multiple one-dimensional signals in 2D top view, the signals were shown non-interpolated with white space between the signals. In previous versions of ibaAnalyzer, the signals were shown also non-interpolated without white space. The behaviour has been changed back to the behaviour of pre 6.1.0 versions, note that for multidimensional signals, the white space between the signals is still shown.
2. Linked against new licensing library.

Bug fixes (B)

1. QDR v5 files couldn't be extracted or exported anymore.
2. Issues with the FFTInTime function when only a small number of frequencies are requested fixed.

3. 3D-views now have an annotated third Z-axis.
4. Y-axes can be set to show a unit at every grid tick.
5. Blackman-Harris window added to all FFT functions.
6. New function 'HighPrecision' added which can be used to create a high precision version of a channel so that further computations on the new channel are done in higher precision.
7. Vectors specified in the logical dialog can now have zone widths, an offset to the first zone center and a zone unit.
8. New functions added to manipulate vectors with zone widths:
   1. GetZoneWidths: get the zone widths in a new vector.
   2. GetZoneOffset: returns the offset to the center of the first zone.
   3. SetZoneWidths: returns a copy of the vector with the zone widths set by a second vector, also allows the offset to the first zone center to be set.
   4. VectorMarkRange: returns a subvector consisting out of the zones between two specified positions.
9. In the search dialog one can now specify to search in infofields of channels.
10. IbaCapture-CAM: one can zoom in/out on videos by using the scroll wheel of the mouse.
11. IbaCapture-CAM: one can pan zoomed in videos by holding the ALT key and dragging.

Improvements (I)

1. Graph images exported to file or clipboard now show markers, also the correct graph settings (screen rather than printer) are taken.
2. When clicking the 'Apply' button in the logicals dialog, the selected logical switched to the first visible logical in the logical tree. Currently the logical selected before pressing 'Apply' stays selected.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash with analyses with video in it and old type of video triggers.
2. Crash with analyses with video in it and one of the ibaAnalyzer dockable windows in autohide mode before loading the analysis.
3. FFT scaling when power and normalized mode were selected was not entirely correct.
4. Adjacent video triggers were not handled correctly.
5. GetRows and MakeVector functions behaved incorrect when applied to length based data.
6. Exporting and importing logicals caused instabilities.

9. Videos and signals did not synchronise properly when enabling or disabling the 'synchronize on recording time' mode.
10. Because of incorrect visibility checks, axis annotations in 3D views were wrong from time to time.
11. Under certain circumstances, expressions containing macros did not evaluate properly.

 

Version 6.0.3 - 2012-12-20

Bugfix (B)

1. Analyses with ibaCapture-HMI videos in it were not saved properly, leading to a crash when loading.

 

Version 6.0.2 - 2012-12-14

Improvements (I)

1. In the file open dialog, pressing Ctrl+'A' selects all files in the folder.
2. Updated the print preview to the new GUI look and feel of ibaAnalyzer 6.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Timeout of FFT calculations was disabled.
2. GetBitMask adapted so it works correctly on 32-bit integer and double precision signals.
3. Crash when setting the mode of an XY view back to length based.
4. Crash with displaying the harmonic marker and certain older analyses.
5. Execution protected macros caused error messages to be displayed when no license dongle was inserted.
6. IbaAnalyzer restart after different language selection did not work properly.
7. When closing IbaAnalyzer and saving the analysis when prompted, the closing did not continue, one had to close ibaAnalyzer again.
8. Video trigger export was incorrect for adjacent triggers.
9. Print preview, top of the page was hidden under the toolbar.
10. Conversion to UNC paths in the DB-extractor had some issues.
11. Combining the /sql and /report command line parameters was broken if computed columns were used.
12. Incomplete text in the export dialog fixed.
13. Overlapping text in the Miscellaneous tab in the preferences in French and German fixed.

15. SHL and SHR function descriptions in German updated to imply they also work on signals that or not timebased.
16. The Harmonic marker sideband dialog could be accessed when the Harmonic marker was not displayed and the dialog wasn't accessible when the Harmonic marker was displayed. Entering this dialog when the Harmonic marker was not displayed caused a crash.
17. The Navigator did not function properly if the first graph in the recorder view was an XY graph.
18. Analysis generated with a version of ibaAnalyzer older than 5.22.0 could not be read anymore when the Harmonic marker was active in those analyses.

 

Version 6.0.1 - 2012-11-23

New features (N)

1. ManY function adapted so it can take text arguments, resulting in a text channel.
2. 'Apply' button in the logicals dialog.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash with loading an analysis that contained both videos and logicals.

   7. video windows can be immediately docked anywhere by dragging them from the signaltree.
   8. layout of the different panes is persistent and will be the same on the next ibaAnalyzer start.
   9. more advanced toolbar customization
2. Chinese language support.
3. Multiple files can be dragged and dropped from explorer to the signal tree, they can also be automatically appended to an already open file.

12. ibaCapture-CAM user management is supported.

Improvements (I)

1. Images for the header of the printout and the report info dialog can now be of other types than only .bmp. The following formats are supported: .bmp, .jpeg, .gif, .tiff and .png.
2. Better support for extracting groups.
3. Increased the possible maximum FFT resolution to 262144 (2¹⁸)
4. versions.html instead of readme.txt file
5. AvgValid and similar functions adapted so that when the IsData function is applied to them, a result is returned for the entire input. In previous versions of ibaAnalyzer, only a result was returned until the end of the last valid part
6. FftAmpl and FftPower adapted so that invalid parts at the end of the input are not part of the range the ffts are applied to.
7. Comments that have not been altered in the signal grid are now taken from the signal itself and updated when another .dat file with different comments is loaded.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Intellisense problem, help windows were not updated.
2. Macros containing the ConvertBase function didn't work.
3. Computed columns did not use the specified custom formatting in text file extracts.

6. Printout settings, browsing for left header bitmap was broken.
7. Database: Readonly tables (e.g. obtained from a complex view) could not be queried.
8. SHL and SHR did not work properly if offset of the signal was negative to begin with.
9. Update problem of the slider of an ibaCapture-CAM window when a file was reloaded.
10. Query builders: names with spaces in it were problematic.

 

Version 5.22.10 - 2012-08-30

Bug fixes (B)

1. When extracting to a text file, computed columns were not formatted with the custom format if one was specified. The custom format was only used for channel data.
2. When exporting video to an mp4 file, the progress dialog immediately returned, before the video was entirely written.
3. Bug in setting the 'Show date' and 'Synchronize files on recording time' time-axis preferences.

 

Version 5.22.9 - 2012-08-13

Bug fixes (B)

1. Problem with opening and saving analyses with unicode characters in their names (i.e. foreign language characters).
2. Opening .dat files with embedded videos did not work anymore.

 

Version 5.22.8 - 2012-07-26

Bugfix (B)

1. Crash in macros.

 

Version 5.22.7 - 2012-07-09

3. The first couple of samples of the AvgInTime function were invalid.

 

Version 5.22.6 - 2012-05-29

New features (N)

1. FftInTime returned amplitudes, this function is now replaced by FftInTimeAmpl and FftInTimePower. The former returns amplitudes and the latter returns powers. FftInTime itself is still available for backwards compatibility and still returns amplitudes.
2. FftOrderAnalysis is replaced in a similar manner as FftInTime, i.e. FftOrderAnalysisAmpl and FftOrderAnalysisPower are now available.
3. FftPeaksInTime is replaced in a similar manner as FftInTime, i.e. FftPeaksInTimeAmpl and FftPeaksInTimePower are now available.
4. Continuous version of YatX. By default YatX expects a constant X-parameter and returns a constant Y-value. If the X parameter is not a constant, that signal is averaged. In the current version an optional third parameter is added to YatX, which when specified and set to TRUE, will make YatX return an Y-value for every X-value of the X-parameter.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Export, import of macro's through preferences did not work.
2. Overlay text of an ibaCapture-CAM window did not show immediately when loading an analysis.
3. FftOrderAnalysis, FftInTime and FftPeaks did not depict correct scales when placed in standard view rather than 2D top view or a 3D view.
4. FftOrderAnalysis did not display a result when only one order was asked.
5. Storing analysis in a database was broken for Oracle databases.

 

Version 5.22.5 - 2012-05-04

1. Extract video between marker range rather than the entire video.
2. MMax (maximum in moving interval) and MMin (minimum in moving interval) functions, similar to MAvg function.
3. atan2 function.

Bug fixes (B)

1. The macro's couldn't handle functions where the returned result differed from the inputs in type (timebased, frequency based,... ).
2. Classic markers didn't function properly anymore for FFT graphs with a logaritmic axis.
3. Harmonic markergrid didn't update when modifying the sideband by dragging.

 

Version 5.22.4 - 2012-03-20

New features (N)

1. If 'filename' is the second argument for the InfoFieldText function, the file name without path information will be returned for each appended file as a textchannel.
2. Similarly 'pathname' can be used as second argument for the InfoFieldText function to return the entire paths of the appended files.
3. One can rightclick on the macrotree in the macro designer to export or import individual macro's to .mcr files.
4. Similarly one can rightclick on the filtertree in the filter designer to export or import individual filters to .fil files.

Improvement (I)

1. In older versions when no database extract library was present, this was indicated by a question mark next to 'Version' in the extract setup dialog. This is now shown more prominent with the text "No database library present" in red instead of the question mark.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash when trying to extract text channels that do not correspond to a text channel in the input .dat file (e.g. 'InfoFieldText' expression).
2. Extracting/exporting textchannel trendquery results crashed.
3. Extracting to Oracle 11 or higher was problematic due to statement caching which had to be disabled manually. In this version it is disabled automatically by using a property in the connection string.
4. Querying multidimensional channels from a database failed if the channels were extracted on name (MC library, no blobs)
5. When sending the report through E-mail failed, no proper error message was reported.
6. Small rounding error when using int16 channels in certain expressions fixed.
7. The report designer was unresponsive when designing reports with video frames in it while there was no connection to the video-server.

 

Version 5.22.3 - 2012-02-29

Improvement (I)

1. Disabled 'too complex' check when only one file is opened.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash when only one of the two extract licenses is available (to file or database) and going into the dataextractor dialog.

 

Version 5.22.2 - 2012-02-22

New features (N)

1. The parameters '%x1', '%x2', '%dx' and '%dy' can be used in the legend parameter string: %x1: X-value at X1 marker %x2: X-value at X2 marker %dx: difference between marker X-values %y1: Y-value at X1 marker, replaces %m1 which is still available but deprecated %y2: Y-value at X2 marker, replaces %m2 which is still available but deprecated %dy: difference between marker Y-values
2. BLOB support for extraction to MySQL databases. MyODBC driver 5.10.09 or later required.
3. Support for nested groups generated by PDA 6.28.0
4. The command line option '/autoreload' causes files to be reloaded periodically when they are still being written, this is identical as clicking the 'Auto reload file(s)' button in the toolbar.
5. The command line option '/loadnewfiles' causes files to be automatically loaded from a specified directory, this is identical as clicking the 'Automatically load new files from specified directory' button in the toolbar. The monitored directory must be specified in the 'miscellaneous' tab of the preferences.
6. When extracting to database, you now have the option to specify that the UNC path of the original file should be written to the file table.

Improvements (I)

1. The automatic reload .dat file options are not disabled anymore when new analyses are loaded.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Legends with marker references did not update correctly if the depicted channels did not have unique names.
2. Incorrect tooltips for the 'autoload files' buttons in German.
3. When dropping or double clicking expressions in the computed columns dialog, the name of the expression wasn't copied in the grid (bug introduced in 5.22.1)
4. Under windows 7, the 'Notifications' options of the report dialog were not shown correctly.
5. Extract of multidimensional signals did not work anymore (bug introduced in 5.22.0)
6. Comments were not exported when exporting logicals to a text file.

 

Version 5.22.1 - 2012-01-27

New features (N)

2. ibaAnalyzer can be started without minimize and maximize buttons by specifying the flag '/nominmax' as a command line parameter.
3. Comments can be added to logicals.

Improvements (I)

1. When videos are present, the markers stay visible regardless which grid is selected.
2. Diagnose expression window resizable.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Digital signals heights didn't align with the legend font but with the XY-font. This was wrong as 'align signals on top' didn't work in that case.
2. Adding folders to groups in the analysis tree didn't function properly on windows 7, the dialog to select the folder didn't have the 'preferred folders' and 'also search subdirectories' checkbox.
3. Crash when editing macros and having autoload files on.
4. Crash with auto load of .pdo and opening .dat files containg video and not having ibaCapture-CAM player installed.
5. Calculations on signals with negative offset (from the .dat file or obtained from SHL expressions) needlessly resampled their input signals to samples aligned with time = 0.
6. IsData function did not update correctly when changing names of signals that were used as the argument of this function.
7. The last sample of a non-equidistant digital signal consisting out of discrete points was not depicted.
8. When one of the classic marker is placed entirely to the right it's position is not persistent, i.e. it switches back to it's default position during prints or switching between non-marker tabs.
9. Crash when having infofields and selecting 'new analysis'.
10. Expressions with operators in them with more than two different precedence levels were not evaluated correctly with respect to the operator precedence unless brackets were used.
11. File time of a QDR2 file was not estimated correctly, leading to some expressions being incorrectly considered 'too complex' when 'synchronise files on recording time' mode was enabled.

 

Version 5.22.0 - 2011-12-08

New features (N)

1. Time shifts for individual .dat files can now be expressions. The dialog to specify the timeshifts is replaced by a dialog containing a grid showing all time shifts. The time shifts are now stored in the analysis without having to store the links to the .dat files in the analysis as well.
2. You can change the names of signals by choosing other infofields than the 'name' infofield of a channel. You can change the 'presentation' name, i.e. the name used in the signaltree and graph legends as well as the 'reference' name, i.e. the name used in expressions to refer to a signal. If a channel reference in an expression does not match any 'reference' name, ibaAnalyzer will try to match the channel by its 'presentation' name as a fallback mechanism, if that fails as well, ibaAnalyzer will try to match the channel with the original name specified by the 'name' infofield.
3. Option to always show the date in the time-axis labeling when in absolute time mode.
4. The color of the classic markers can be changed.
5. Add references to sql files in the analysis tree.
6. New functions FFTReal, FFTRealInverse and FFTComplex.
7. Ability to extract .dat files with embedded video (HMI and CAM).
8. Editing a macro can be protected by a password.
9. The ability to use a macro can now be limited to systems with a dongle having a specified serial number.

Improvements (I)

1. Improved the memory consumption of ibaAnalyzer during extracts.
2. When extracting to .dat files, comments of channels are extracted as well.
3. 'Dif', 'Oneshot' and 'XValues' functions adapted so they do not resample non-equidistant data.
4. 'IsData' function modified so it returns FALSE for missing or empty signals, previously it would only return FALSE values for 'gaps'.
5. 'If' function modified so that its TRUE or FALSE argument can be a missing or empty signal.
6. An optional parameter is added to the 'Dif' function so that the difference between samples can be returned rather than the differential.
7. Opened videos are now considered as 'visualised signals' and as such exported when that mode is chosen in the export dialog.
8. Importing COMTRADE files did not work if (contrary to the COMTRADE file specifications) the final newline characters where missing (CR/LF).

Bug fixes (B)

1. Faulty expressions were not depicted in red in the computed columns and logicals grid, while they were in the signalgrid.
2. When editing cells in a grid and exiting the edit mode by pressing the 'Enter' button, editing continued in the next row unless you were editing the last row already, in which case it continued in the first row. The latter is inconvenient with large grids and has been disabled.
3. When dragging the classic markers, Y-axes for marker dependant expressions could rescale and show more or less digits which in turn caused a horizontal relayout of the graphs to be necessary. In previous versions the relayout was not handled correctly.
4. The 'Save As' dialog in SQL query dialogs was a 'File Open' dialog instead.

 

Version 5.21.5 - 2011-10-13

Improvement (I)

1. Larger blobs are possible.

Bug fixes (B)

1. The first query result was not automatically selected anymore.
2. Search in signaltree fixed.
3. Multiple vectors in QDR2 both having length and time components caused a crash when closing the .dat file.
4. Selecting multiple signals in the signaltree did not work under Vista/Windows 7.
5. Wrong timestamp reported when querying with a mergefield (latest of all files rather than earliest).
6. Drag and drop of signals from the signal tree started too early.
7. Dropping multiple graphs happened in more or less random order rather than respecting the signal tree order.
8. PostgreSQL problem with QDR and similar channels (i.e. channelnumbers with an id > 2^31) when extracting on column number with the MC library.

 

Version 5.21.4 - 2011-09-12

Improvement (I)

1. When adding new logicals with the '+' button, they are now added after the selected logical rather than at the end of the list.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Micro second extraction did not work anymore for the ibaDataExtractor.dll extractor library.
2. Further issues with the file open dialog (slow to open) fixed.
3. On some file systems the folders in the foldertree in the file open dialog were shown unsorted.

2. MC extractor library, ms-sql server database, some constraints were not set anymore so the 'ON DELETE CASCADE' did not work anymore.
3. File open dialog was slow to load under windows 7 when browsing to a remote folder on a remote XP machine.
4. When showing channels in 'group' mode in the signal tree, they were ordered incorrect if some channels belonged to multiple groups.

New features (N)

1. Read double precision and int32 data. Also perform calculations in double precision if the input data was double precision or int32 data.
2. Read frequency based data from .dat file.
3. Extract to TDMS file.
4. Read non-equidistant data from .dat file.
5. Export and import the 'filetree' interactively and through the command line (option /filetree:conf.txt), this allows for starting ibaAnalyzer with .dat files both appended and side by side.
6. Extra buttons can be added to the toolbar to:
   1. retrieve an analysis from a database.
   2. store an analysis to a database.
   3. preview a report.
   4. print a report.
7. PostgreSQL databases supported.
8. MakeVector function.
9. VectorPercentile function.

Improvements (I)

1. When saving the project file in the Report designer with 'Save as', the report setup dialog will modify the report path to the last saved .lst file.
2. The option 'Add to previous results' in the query builder was not persistent.
3. The names of the analyses files stored to database are now case sensitive.
4. When a video paused because it was at the end of the .dat file, the marker was not always placed correctly.

6. When exporting .dat files with embedded video from .dat files prior to the upgrade from ibaCapture-CAM 2.0 to 3.0, the videos were not correctly embedded.
7. Crashes in macro designer dialog fixed.
8. Problem with TimeToLengthL function and multiple files opened that are offsetted by a large time interval.
9. 3D plots didn't depict their X-axis correctly if no other graphs are present in the analyses. This was especially problematic in reports.
10. 'Check database columns' in the database infofield tab did not detect the correct column data type and wrongly suggested to replace columns.
11. Crash when placing a constant in fft representation and going to the statistics marker tab.
12. Expressions used for manual Y-scaling in 3D plots or contour plots did not update correctly when input data changed.
13. Crash with openGL 3D plots for data that went massively out of range of the set Y-scale.
14. The image in the report info tab disappeared after loading or reloading data.
15. When setting the signal tree to 'Show groups' and there aren't any groups, the first signal was missing from the "Ungrouped channels" group.

 

Version 5.20.4 - 2011-05-13

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash with ibaCapture-CAM triggers (ibaCapture-CAM 2.0 videos).
2. Digital signals created with XMarkValid functions that had isolated samples where not always drawn correctly when zoomed out.

 

Version 5.20.3 - 2011-05-11

Bug fixes (B)

1. Binary COMTRADE export was broken.
2. The version number in the resources was not correctly updated.

 

Version 5.20.2 - 2011-04-28

Improvements (I)

1. Decreased the memory consumption of ibaCapture-CAM videos.

Bug fixes (B)

1. ibaAnalyzer still did not work with ibaCapture-CAM 2.0 videos if an older version than ibaCapture-CAM 2.3.0 was installed.

 

Version 5.20.1 - 2011-04-18

Improvements (I)

1. XFirst and XLast functions adapted so they work with non-equidistant data without resampling.

Bug fixes (B)

1. The ibaCapture options tab in the preferences had badly positioned dialog elements in German and French.
2. When not on the markers and having multiple videos open, the other videos did not synchronize when clicking Stop and then Play on a video.
3. ibaAnalyzer did not work anymore with ibaCapture-CAM 2.0 videos unless the new ibaCapture-CAM player was installed.
4. Occasional crash when loading analysis with videos fixed.
5. Rotated graphs were not included when creating a .pdf report.

 

Version 5.20.0 - 2011-03-29

New features (N)

1. Support for ibaCapture-CAM 3.0
2. Option in the data extractor to prevent extracting empty rows to the database with ibaDataExtractorMC.
3. Option in the data extractor to 'reextract' a file, if a file is extracted to a database all previously extracted files that have the same filename and starttime will be removed from the database if this option is selected.
4. Further adapted functions working on non equidistant data: in previous versions of ibaAnalyzer, the data did not get resampled when using elementary functions with constant data and one non equidistant argument and no equidistant arguments; currently the function can have multiple non equidistant arguments and the result will not be resampled if all arguments have the same timestamps.
5. File open dialogs for analyses and .dat files: the directory that was last visited is selected by default the next time you open the dialog.
6. Buttons in the logicals dialog to reorder logicals.

Improvements (I)

1. When changes were made in the Report, Extractor, Macro or Filter dialogs and the changes are dismissed, a confirmation dialog appears to prevent the user from accidentally dismissing changes.
2. Extra optional parameter 'ZeroPad' added to FftInTime and FftPeaksInTime, when TRUE the last window is padded with zeroes before doing the FFT, when FALSE the last window is dropped.
3. Expression dialog is made resizable.

Bug fixes (B)

1. The alternative server setting in the preferences were wrongly ignored when exporting .dat files with embedded video.
2. Trendquery results where not depicted in the expression builder signal tree.
3. In the macro dialog, modifying an 'example expression' or 'intermediate value' through the expression builder did not cause an immediate update in the preview.
4. Since version 5.19.0 ibaAnalyzer looked in the wrong folder for this file (readme.txt).
5. When opening an analysis from an ibaAnalyzer version that not yet had chart fields for the reports, any chart fields still present from a previous analysis were not removed.
6. In the properties dialogs for FFT X-axes (frequency or inverse length) the spinbuttons for the harmonics below and above had a range from 0 to 20, however you could type a value in the textboxes smaller or larger than that causing a crash when applied to the analyses. Any value you type now is checked and adapted if necessary. Likewise the number of sideband markers could be specified smaller than 1 or larger than 20 without the value being checked.
7. When extracting to databases, the 'coil complete' field was never updated for MsAccess databases.
8. The folder tree in the file open dialog loaded too slow under vista/windows 7

 

Version 5.19.1 - 2011-02-22

Bug fixes (B)

1. An uninitialized variable may cause invalid analyses to be written.
2. Memory leak when invalid arguments where supplied to the ManY function.
3. In the trendquery builder, the table list did not include views.
4. Printing Fft-graph bar charts, the bar charts did not adapt their number of bars to the printer dimensions correctly.

2. FFTPeaksInTime function
3. A variable frequency can now be supplied as an argument to an electric function.
4. .dat files and analyses can now be opened from a link in a webpage, provided the path is prepended with "toibaanalyzer", e.g.: <a href="toibaanalyzer:d:\dat\pda008.dat" /a> is now a working link in a html document. If multiple documents need to be opened, you can specify so by seperating the file-names with semi-colons: e.g.: <a href="toibaanalyzer:d:\dat\pda008.dat;d:\analyses\myanalysis.pdo" /a>
5. The trendquery builder has now the option to import and export its settings to .ini files.
6. All ibaAnalyzer settings can be exported to a file and loaded on the next ibaAnalyzer start.
7. Copy/Paste of the graphs between ibaAnalyzer instances.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Positioning of docked video windows when loaded from an analysis was incorrect.
2. The option "Synchronize on recording time" in the preferences dialog changed with the loaded analysis rather then staying independent.
3. ibaCapture-CAM videos could not be opened from the signaltree if the signaltree was in another mode than "Show modules".
4. Crash when having the font settings stored in the analysis and also having custom fonts in the report info grid.
5. E-mail problems with the report generator (problematic underscores in attachments, quoted sender names) are fixed.

 

Version 5.18.2 - 2010-12-06

Improvements (I)

1. The filetable with the extractor library can now also have "Complete" and "ErrorOnExtract" columns, similar as the extractorMC library.
2. When opening several text files, the dialog with the import options in now shown only once instead of being shown for each file.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Exporting video triggers, sometimes the wrong size of the exported video file was reported, causing ibaAnalyzer to refuse to embed it in the extracted .dat file so that the entire export failed.
2. Timeout problems with reports containing video frames fixed.
3. Bug with markers spontaneously jumping one pixel or to their default position on relayout of graphs fixed.
4. Integrating a constant value was incorrect.

 

Version 5.18.1 - 2010-10-01

New feature (N)

1. Color and font settings can be stored in the analysis rather then being retrieved from the preferences.
2. ibaAnalyzer can make use of the infofields 'visualmin' and 'visualmax' provided by PDA to determine Y-axis scaling.

Improvement (I)

1. Comtrade ASCII export/extract is now roughly 4 times faster.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Problem with ibaCapture-CAM on some systems.
2. Problem with reading headers of .dat files, for large headers sometimes an infofield was misread.

 

Version 5.18.0 - 2010-09-06

New features (N)

1. New CountSamples function that counts samples, works also for non equidistant data.
2. XMarkValid, XCutValid, XMarkRange and XCutRange functions adapted so they do not resample non equidistant data.
3. Extracting and exporting of text channels to ASCII files.
4. Importing text channels from ASCII files.
5. New Kurtosis and skewness statistics funtions:
   1. Kurtosis, kurtosis statistic over the entire signal.
   2. KurtosisInTime, kurtosis over intervals.
   3. MKurtosis, rolling kurtosis
   4. KurtosisValid, kurtosis in intervals determined by a digital signal.
   5. VectorKurtosis, kurtosis taken in the vertical direction of a multidimensional expression (i.e. over a cross profile).
   6. Skewness, skewness statistic over the entire signal.
   7. SkewnessInTime, skewness over intervals.
   8. MSkewness, rolling skewness
   9. SkewnessValid, skewness in intervals determined by a digital signal.
   10. VectorSkewness, skewness taken in the vertical direction of a multidimensional expression (i.e. over a cross profile).
6. When zoomed in and using the arrow keys to move markers, the graphs will pan to enable moving the markers further than the zoomed area.

Improvements (I)

1. ibaAnalyzer does not register itself anymore as a COM-component when it is started without any switches, you need to use the /regserver command line switch explicitly.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Problems with non equidistant boolean data.
2. The trendquery replace path option did not work correctly.
3. The sum function returned zero and discarded the current sample where the reset signal is true. Currently it returns the current sample and initializes the running sum to the current sample, similarly as the sum function behaves for the first sample of the signal.
4. In report generator, an error was thrown if elements other than tables cause a page break. It is still better to not have elements in the report that cause page breaks but it will no longer result in an error, the page break will be ignored.
5. Infofield and InfofieldText did not work correctly when multiple nonappended files were opened and absolute time synchronisation was off.
6. Printing video's, video was printed upside down when in RGB format.
7. When zooming and dragging the zoomrectangle completely to the left or right border of the graph, the resulting zoom was due to rounding errors not always incident with resp. the beginning or end of the signals.
8. When choosing to import non equidistant data with the ibaAnalyzer time format, the fractional part of the seconds was disregarded when running ibaAnalyzer on a system where the decimal point is not '.'.
9. Occasional crash when using filters.
10. Crash when setting the linetype to points for a constant signal.
11. When setting E-mail options for the report, the dialog was shown twice.
12. In windows 7 the search dialog next to the signal tree did not show properly.
13. Fft-presentation of a digital signal was not depicted correctly.
14. Digital signals in the frequency domain were not depicted correctly (e.g.: FftAmpl([expr],...) > [limit]) ).
15. When double clicking a signal in the signal tree, the recorder view did not scroll to the newly generated graph.

 

Version 5.17.7 - 2010-07-05

New feature (N)

1. Export to ASCII file, possibility to export other infofields besides the technostring.

Bug fixes (B)

1. ibaCapture-HMI on Windows 7 gave problems.
2. Trendqueries were broken since 5.17.6.
3. Various problems with Y-axis scaling of FftInTime and OrderAnalysis functions.

 

Version 5.17.6 - 2010-06-17

New features (N)

1. Sort function: sorts the values of a signal, allowing one to quickly see how many values are above or below any given limit.

Improvements (I)

1. When exporting or extracting non-equidistant data to a .dat file, it was not possible to select a timebase smaller than the smallest difference between two samples of the exported channel.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Loading CSV files with non-equidistant data used too much memory when the data was widely spaced apart in time.
2. The RecordNr field in tables for the report generator was one too high for every additional page.
3. Fixed time shifting of .dat files when not synchronized on absolute time.
4. Versions 5.17.3, 5.17.4 and 5.17.5 wrote a 'frames' infofield that was of by one from time to time, resulting in unreadable channels. This only happened when you had deselected the option to average the samples.
5. Static frequency markers showed sometimes the wrong unit (sec instead of Hz) when the analysis is loaded.

 

Version 5.17.5 - 2010-06-04

New features (N)

1. TrimText function, removes leading, trailing or internal white space from a text channel.

Improvements (I)

1. When scrolling by clicking the little arrows from the scrollbar in the recorder window, the recorder window scrolls a graph at a time now instead of a pixel at a time.
2. Executable size decreased by removing the embedded icons and images that were redundantely present for every language ibaAnalyzer supports.

Bug fixes (B)

1. When a very large number of graphs was depicted, scrolling using the scrollbar did not work.
2. The TextCompare function did not work correctly when the case insensitive option was selected.
3. Crash when using text literals (i.e strings between quotes) in simple functions (+,-,=,OR, etc...).

 

Version 5.17.4 - 2010-05-26

New features (N)

1. ToText function, transforms a numeric signal to a text channel, optionally with user specified formatting.
2. TextCompare function, compares two text signals or a text signal with a static text, returns -1 if the first text is lexicographically smaller than the second text, 0 if the texts are equal and +1 if the first text is lexicographically larger than the second text.
3. InfoFieldText function, generates a text channel from an infofield.
4. Installer adapted so that installation under Windows 7 is allowed.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash with the statistics grid while showing non-equidistant data.
2. SetReset function did not work properly when the second argument was constant.
3. The trendquery builder when getting the table names had a potential buffer overflow problem resulting in an ibaAnalyzer crash.
4. Crash when trying to query files from the overview and the first channel is a text channel instead of a numeric channel.

 

Version 5.17.3 - 2010-04-26

New features (N)

1. ibaCapture-HMI windows are now included in the ibaAnalyzer print out and report.
2. Ability to turn of the averaging when exporting .dat files.

4. The number of pages in the report generator can be set to an ibaAnalyzer expression.

Improvements (I)

1. Improved the speed of the advanced preview in the file open dialog.
2. The loading time of .dat files that were still being written is dramatically reduced.
3. The time to switch from modules to group view of the signaltree or loading a .dat file while in group view is dramatically reduced.
4. A large number of functions now works on non-equidistant data without resampling the data first provided that only one of the arguments is non-equidistant and the other arguments are constants. The modified functions are : "Unary -","OR","XOR","AND","<>","=",">=","<=",">","<","-","+","/","*","mod","min","max","min2","max2","pow","abs","sin","cos","tan", "asin","acos","atan","sqrt","log","log10","exp","sign","floor","ceil","round","not","shl","shr","avg","stddev","percentile", "resample", "convertbase" and "XY"
5. XY view did not show digital signals properly.
6. Scrollbar added to the content edit box of the text variables tab in the report dialog so that the text is not limited in size by the size of the dialog.
7. Textchannels can now be extracted as well.
8. XMarkValid, XCutValid, XMarkRange and XCutValid adapted so they work on text channels also.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Problem with boolean non-equidistant data read from a CSV file.
2. Crash when using groups and opening .dat files in advanced view.
3. In the report designer, placing video objects from triggers was impossible because their name got mangled.
4. Further problems with E-mailing fixed (subject line was missing).

 

Version 5.17.2 - 2010-03-19

New features (N)

1. Text channels can now be dragged and dropped onto videos.

Improvements (I)

1. Faster axis zooming when using the wheel mouse.
2. When using the little arrows, rate of in or out zooming is now dependent on how far you move the mouse away from the arrows after clicking.
3. Instead of aborting the file export when videos could not be exported, all videos that can be exported are exported and a warning is given after the export.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash when importing .txt files, non equidistant local datetimes and an empty column as first column.
2. When setting a manual scale on X-axis of XY-view derived from an expression, the manual scale did not update if a new file was loaded or an expression changed where the manual scale expression is dependent on.
3. An analysis file from version 5.17.1 or 5.17.0 was no longer compatible with previous versions of ibaAnalyzer -> solution: open and resave them with this version.
4. AddSeconds function did not work anymore in L&L15, updated to the latest servicepack of L&L and the bug is fixed there.
5. Extractor libraries: they did not always generate unique File-IDs in the database, causing constraint violations.
6. Problem with the navigator fixed when moving the dragrectangle with the arrow-keys and pressing Ctrl.
7. E-mailing report problems fixed.
8. Shl and Shr functions did not work correctly for textchannels when multiple .dat files were appended.

 

Version 5.17.1 - 2010-02-23

Bug fixes (B)

1. When using the parameterstring legends, legends in print and printpreview were broken.
2. The functions GetFirstIndex and GetLastIndex were not working correctly when constant values are uses as part of the vector the functions act on.
3. The buttons to forward or reverse a frame did not work for some videos if the video was positoned on resp. the beginning or end of the .dat file.
4. ibaAnalyzer did not run anymore on windows 2000.

 

Version 5.17.0 - 2010-01-27

New features (N)

1. Video stills can now be included in reports.
2. Time and length interactive markers can be synchronised on a position or speed signal.
3. You can specify text variables (e.g. comments) in the report dialog which you can use in the report designer.
4. Shl and Shr functions work now for text channels.
5. Language of the user interface can be switched with a command line option (/english, /french, /german, /spanish and /russian), this only works under Vista and later versions of windows.
6. In the signal search tab you can now select to show the comments as extra columns in the grid. (right click on the grid and choose the options from the context menu)
7. ibaCapture-CAM, it is now possible to andvance the video frame by frame.
8. You can specify a parameter string to change how the signal legends are depicted. You can specify parameters so that the marker values are depicted for that signal. You can specify an empty parameter string as a way to hide the legend.

Improvements (I)

1. Report component updated to newest version of L&L (version 15). This includes laguage packs of the designer for Spanish and Russian.
2. Comments of channels or expressions are now also extracted.
3. When opening .dat files and not loading or saving any analysis, ibaAnalyzer would not ask to save the analysis when quiting. This was intentionally coded that way as to not bother people who only open and view .dat files. This behaviour is changed so that if the user has typed something in the signalgrid ibaAnalyzer will ask to save the analysis when quiting.
4. Preferences dialog is now resizable.
5. Limit on number of lines to import in grids from a CSV text file has been removed, used to be 500.
6. The resizable dialogs have icons now.
7. If a video synchronisation signal is constant this means the TCP/IP connection between the video-server and PDA was lost, an appropriate error message is shown in the video window now instead of trying to show the video.

Bug fixes (B)

1. XCutValid function behaved incorrect when multiple files with offsets were appended.
2. When extracting to file no error was reported when the path to extract to was invalid.
3. In the global logicals dialog, you could not switch between logicals by pressing arrow keys repeatedly.
4. In the report designer, you could not have the same graph multiple times with different properties.
5. In the report designer, you could not have more than one embedded picture.
6. If you specified for a digital signal in an analysis a line type different than the default and you loaded the analysis before the .dat file, the default line type was taken anyway.
7. Diagnose buttons for computed columns, chart fields and report table data fields did not work correctly.

 

Version 5.16.1 - 2009-11-04

New features (N)

1. Resample function now has an optional parameter to disable interpolation, the old sample to the left of the new sample is taken instead.
2. StdDevInTime, similar to Max-, Min- and AvgInTime, calculates standard deviation over an interval

Bug fixes (B)

1. Crash when modifying the dimensions of a logical while you were still editing an expression in that logical.
2. ibaCapture-HMI, when the synchronisation signals had offsets, the video's did not show unless going to the markers tab.
3. The french language pack for the report designer was missing.
4. Setting the properties of graphs in the designer did not work if you set it the oldfashioned way (Source->VariableProperties->Button Click) instead of the new way (rightclick on graph->Contents or Data->(Contents)->Button Click)

 

Version 5.16.0 - 2009-10-26

New features (N)

1. New "Sum" function that sums every sample, meant to be used on a signal consisting out of a discrete number of samples.
2. Search dialog in the file open dialog.
3. Introduction of Spanish resources.
4. Tooltip showing the channels comments when hovering over its legend in the graph.
5. Tooltip showing the names of the channels in the graph when the graph is hidden and when hovering over the little hide/show triangle.
6. Ability to add tables to reports based on signals.
7. Ability to query string channels from database through the trendquery or overview.
8. Possibility to show the relative time not only in seconds but also in hours or minutes.
9. Possibility to extract multidimensional channels to a new .dat file (previously only extracting to database worked).

Improvements (I)

1. Report component updated to newest version of L&L (version 14).
2. When moving markers while pressing 'Ctrl', the markers snap to the closest valid data point instead of the closest data point that might be invalid.
3. It is now possible to combine the /trendsql and /sql command line options.
4. In the case of timeshifting appended files, time shifting the parent files causes the children (and grandchildren, etc) to be shifted also.
5. XY-view is modified so that when using non-equidistant signals it uses the signals directly without resampling to equidistant samples.
6. Large program icons added.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Fft: in the case of showing the power of the fft in db, the values were twice what they should be.
2. Crash when opening .dat files with both video's and analyses stored in them.
3. The X-axis context menu for ibaScope files reported the state of the option "Ignore SynchTime" wrong.
4. Crash when setting reload timer and there is no .dat file opened.
5. Several problems with 3D color select dialog and color axis scaling fixed.
6. In expressions "<=", ">=" and "<>" required a delimeter (either space or '(') after them to be parsed correctly. this was not necessary and this requirement has been removed. The infix operators "OR","XOR" and "AND" are still required to have a delimeter for clarity.
7. Xmarker functions did not work correctly when used in simple expressions.
8. While dragging signals, the drag image was not visible under Vista.
9. Querying from an overview did not work correctly if the microseconds field was used in the query to obtain the overview.
10. When zoomed in on a number of samples for which the signal is constant, autoscale did not work.
11. Crash when selecting a new analysis from the menu options while still in edit mode of a signal grid cell.
12. Reports containing charts were troublesome and were only guaranteed to work if the charts were only on the first page of the report. This has been modified so that if the project file contains no tables the charts work as intended, if the project file does contain tables an extra variable ('ibaAnalyzer.page') is provided that can be used instead of the Page() function in appearance conditions and layer definitions.
13. Opening txt files: first sample was read in incorrectly or not at all.
14. ibaCapture-CAM, replaying video stored in a .dat file did not work if the users temp directory contains unicode characters (because the username contains unicode characters).
15. Folders containing unicode characters in their name were not depicted correctly in the file open dialog.
16. For some printers, graphs near the edge of the paper did not draw themselves entirely when generating reports.
17. When having a large amount of expressions dependant on each other, ibaAnalyzer slowed down when modifying the expressions.
18. Crash when trendquery signals were used in an XY view and the trendquery signals were removed.
19. Exporting multidimensional channels to database didn't work when the column id's of the segment tables were derived from the name of the channel instead of the nr.

 

Version 5.15.3 - 2009-07-01

New features (N)

1. Database support for MySql versions > 5.1
2. ON DELETE CASCADE constraints added for MySql, DB2 and MsSql databases, so that when a row in the file table is deleted, the corresponding rows in the segment and channel tables are deleted as well.
3. Text channels can be exported (only binary iba .dat file format, not text files)

Improvement (I)

1. Reintroduced a date-time picker for the querybuilders.
2. When extracting and specifying a MarkValid interval, the invalid part was stored in a .dat file, now that part is marked by setting the offset instead, this looks nicer when the exported signal is opened.
3. Added the "Ignore SynchTime" option from the signal tree also to the X-axis options.

Bug fixes (B)

1. When selecting a partial visible cell in a grid, the grid started scrolling immediately, making it impossible to select that cell.
2. Problems extracting and exporting .dat files with a .pdo embedded in it if the .dat files contained video signals.
3. Crash when opening another .dat file with embedded video in it after a .dat file with embedded video was allready opened.
4. When exporting .dat files with video in it, the trigger signals were not always correctly exported when specifying an interval to export.
5. The XMarkRange function added extra space (with no data) after the selected range until the size was the same as the original signal.
6. When typing expressions, you could not correctly select the desired function from the listbox by mouseclick.
7. Trendqueries, open range of files -> files were opened twice.
8. Reports did not show tables if there was no signal depicted in ibaAnalyzer.

2. grids: When editing text cells that were not expressions, the editing mode was word wrapping, this is changed to normal editing.

Bug fixes (B)

1. ibaCapture-HMI: When the zoom was selected through the context menu, it was not stored (for instance, it changed back when moving from one video to the other)
2. ibaCapture-HMI: The player window and its frame is now hidden when showing the video fullscreen.
3. ibaCapture-HMI & CAM: Markers were not properly erased when the video was playing (and hence the markers moving) and you dragged or resized the video window.
4. ibaCapture-HMI: When the marker was in the area one sample past the last sample, video dissapeared and could not be gotten back again by moving the marker.
5. Slideshow: the wrong timer for the slideshow was used, instead of the timer set in the analysis the one in the preferences was used.
6. There were further problems with text channels that are not depicted correctly when appending multiple files.
7. VarDelay function did not work properly when the 'delay' parameter was constant.
8. The vector aggregate functions (VectorMax, VectorMin, VectorAvg and VectorStdDev), did not work properly when applied to vectors where entire components were invalid.

New features (N)

1. PercentileValid function, similar like AvgValid, this function calculates percentiles for every interval where a control signal is TRUE.
2. SampleAndHold function, like the same function in PDA, if a control signal is true the inputsignal is copied, otherwise the last value the inputsignal had when the control signal was true is returned.
3. Introduction of Russian resources.
4. CAM videos are printed now.

Bug fixes (B)

1. Some errors in the German translation of ibaAnalyzer strings were fixed.
2. For a .dat file with an embedded video, when opening the video it sometimes immediately started playing if not on the markertab.
3. Some video configurations causes the videos to be loaded with an error until you reload the .dat file or press the reset button.
4. There was trouble selecting the rows in the signalgrid for analyses with a large number of expressions/signals opened.
5. When exporting to a .dat file, if you were on the marker tab, the starttime of the exported file was always the time of the first marker, regardless off whether you selected to export the entire time range or the marker range.
6. Videos kept playing when they passed the end of the .dat file range.
7. When in a no-records zone and video playing out of the zoom area, from time to time you could not start the video anymore with setting the speed to the reverse.
8. ibaAnalyzer crashed when clicking the expression button of the last line in the grid when that gridline was not entirely visible.
9. The new text channels were not depicted correctly when appending multiple files.
10. QDR files with vectors in it gave problems.

11. The new function LSQPolyCoef, with which you can calculate the coefficients of the polynomial least squares fit of two datasets.
12. The new function Polynomial, that given a vector of coefficients evaluates that polynomial for a given set of X values.
13. The new funtions VectorMin, VectorMax, VectorAvg and VectorStdDev, which calculate resp. minimum, maximum, average and standard deviation of each sample of a vector signal (logical, signal or result of a computation that returns a vector) This function can also be used to filter out the time or length component from a qdr signal (or expression derived from a qdr signal) and to speed up calculations that would otherwise be done on both components.

Improvements (I)

1. The list of recent files for trendqueries and ordinary queries are now seperate.
2. When extracting to database, the precision of the file timestamps was limited to 1 second. You can now select to extract an extra column to contain the microsecond part of the file timestamp. Normal querying will modify the timestamps reported in ibaAnalyzer with this extra precision.
3. Functions returning an X value (like XFirst) store their result differently so that when used in functions expecting X values (like XMarkRange) there is no loss of precision.
4. Overview and querying can be combined from the command line.
5. You can choose to not automatically append a range of files queried from the overview.
6. a merge field can be specified at the command line for trendqueries.
7. When opening both a .dat file and issuing an /sql command, the .dat file is now no longer overwritten by the result of the sql command. Instead it is opened at the second fileposition, leaving room for the result of the /sql command.
8. The last visited folder in the file open dialog is differently remembered for .pdo and other files (.dat and .txt). Also, folderoptions (including the last selected prefered folder) are stored in static variables instead of constantly being read and written to the registry. This means that two instances of ibaAnalyzer running on the same computer will not interfere with eachothers folderoptions.

Bug fixes (B)

1. A couple of bugs with the color 3D plots are fixed.
2. Converting signal references from names to numbers in expressions didn't work if the name contained square brackets ([])
3. Start and stop triggers were missing or depicted to small in printouts and reports.
4. Constant signals were extracted with a timebase of always 100 seconds.
5. If a signal was bright magenta colored, it's legend was not visible.
6. When only selecting the first character of a technofield for reports or for extraction, the enitre technofield was reported/extracted.

 

Version 5.13.2 - 2008-11-17

Bug fixes (B)

1. Zooming added an undoable state, while zooming itself could not be undone, zooming and undo/redo are now independent.
2. The orderanalysis function crashed if the DC component was not suppressed.
3. Digital and analog signals where not correctly ordered for QDR files, resulting in channels that where unavailable when the signals were not shown seperately.
4. Initial timecode was not correctly initialised when opening video's, resulting in problems with newer versions of the ibaCapture-CAM product.
5. Exporting of logicals was not consistent if the logicals where not valid expressions, the exporting took also longer than necessary.
6. Chartfields where not remembered correctly when modifying only one field.

2. The "Length Segments" profile could not be selected anymore in the database extractor, profile selection.
3. When adding computed columns or info fields in either the report or extract dialogs by double clicking a signal in the tree, the next gridline was selected. This didn't happen when one was on the last gridline (although a new gridline was added at the end), causing the last gridline to be overwritten.
4. The graphs in the advanced view of the file open dialog did not contain legends.

 

Version 5.12.3 - 2008-06-13

Bug fixes (B)

1. GetRows function (very likely also other array functions) did not work properly when not at the beginning of the expression.
2. Expressions typed in grids could not be longer than the size of the cell.
3. Color and line thickness select didn't work on windows 2000.
4. Extract dialog, the quantity in the grid should now be typed and displayed with a '.' for the decimal point and is displayed with correct rounding.
5. ibaAnalyzer had performance problems for larger analysises.
6. The option to have the module name prepended to the signalname caused ibaAnalyzer to crash when the analysis was loaded before the .dat file.
7. Filters which name starts with a digit cause problems, this is no longer allowed (rename function will prepend an underscore).
8. Resample function didn't update when you changed the sample rate from an unacceptable rate to an acceptable rate.
9. Spurious trace removed, it caused an unnecessary logfile to be generated.
