caQtDM

["Mezger Anton Christian" <anton.mezger@psi.ch>]

Dear all,

 

Again an major upgrade of caQtDM is available ( Version 2.8) . Information can be found at our PSI-Website http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/caqtdm/

 

Since version 2.5 many things have been changed and added. All these are documented at the website.

The most important changes are:

 

-        Added –dg parameter at the command line

-        Toggle button added

-        Text entry behavior and look

-        Fixed memory overflows due to non null terminated strings from epics

-        Slider and thermo problems were fixed

-        stripplot and Cartesian plot have now a dialog for changing their scales online

-        remove parent option added for related display

-        more curves possible in stripplot

-        pep files used at PSI (used for tcl/tk application)  are accepted by caQtDM

-        a script control has been added and the execution can be followed with an output/debug window

 

and last but not least, performance has been drastically improved.

 

Also a windows distribution package (caQtDM.msi) is available. This package allows you to use the Qt designer, caQtDM with EPICS immediately after installing.

 

For linux, you could use the shell script caQtDM_Build for building the package. However you should install Qt and Qwt before.

 

Let me know of its usage, improvements, bug fixes, hints. Tell me if you like it.
