Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

 

Releases 2-5 and 2-5-1 of the measComp module are now available.

 

This is from the R2-5-1 release notes:

********************************

-drvMultiFunction.cpp

    - Fixed bug in waveform digitizer mode, current channel was being calculated incorrrectly.

    - Improved poller to reduce the number of error messages when the device is not available.

- E-1608::AInScanStart_E1608 (Linux)

    - Added 5 retries to start waveform acquisition. It appears that sometimes the connect() has not actually completed before acquisition is started, and the device returns a "not ready" status.

    - Improved error messages when acquisition does not start correctly.

    - Bug fix for 1-byte message not being sent correctly.

- mcBoard_E-1608.cpp (Linux)

    - Bug fix where lock was not taken when it should be.

 

This is from the R2-5 release notes:

********************************

- Improvements to USB-CTR04/08 support

    - Added support for reading the 8 digital I/O bits in the MCS scan. This allows capturing the status of input and output bits during a scan. There are now 9 MCS spectra: 8 for the counters and 1 for the digital I/O.

   - Added ability to select counters to use in the MCS on an individual basis, rather than the first and last counter to use. This also applies to the digital I/O word.

    - Added an AbsTimeWF waveform record containing the absolute time of each point in waveform digitizer and MCS scans.

    - Added support for cbDaqInScan and cbDaqSetTrigger on Linux.

    - Added TrigMode record to control the trigger mode of DaqInScan.

    - Fixed bugs on Linux when the number of counters selected was not a power of 2. The data could be wrong and it would stop before the number of channels to collect was reached.

- Added support for E-DIO24 module on Linux and Windows .

- Added autoconverted OPI files for edm, caQtDM, CSS-Boy and CSS-Phoebus.

- Updated the version of the Measurement Computing Windows UL library from 6.51 to 6.72.
