  GraphHist GraphHist

  Graphing dialog; Histogram shown as bar data
  • Histogram data filled-in, to more match DSC displays.

• Anchor
  GraphStretch GraphStretch

  Graphing dialog; Histogram stretch
  • Available via; Control ->expand Data Interpretation -> select Decompress -> click "Histogram Stretch".

• Anchor
  GraphROI GraphROI

  Graphing dialog; Multiple ROIs

  • Up to 8 ROIs of any type can be set.

  • There is an 8-way radio button on the Mouse Selection Area dialog (click on the Mouse Selection bar on the Info panel) to select and define the ROIs.

    

  • One ROI is active at a time, and that ROI drives the Analisys Graph, Noise Measurement, etc.

  • The active ROI can be changed on the Mouse Selection Area dialog, or by clicking on the ROI outline in the video window.

  • Also, how the mouse interacts with the ROIs on the video window has been changed.
    
    • To move an ROI, you must click on its line. Clicking away from an ROI line will drag the image (that is, you can now drag the image without locking the selection).
    • A Rectangle ROI can now be resized by dragging a corner or edge. Also, Rectangle ROIs are drawn as rectangles rather than as two sets of parallel lines, so the image is less cluttered when there are multiple of them.
  • ROIs can also be set programmatically with Python, devware.set_active_mouse_sel(index) and then devware.set_mouse_selection(...).

• Anchor
  MouseLock MouseLock

  Mouse; Lock Mouse Selection

  • When enabled, the currently selected mouse type's location will remain unchanged when switching between devices and images.

  • Using the same width/height, the value(s) stay the same.

  • Using different width/height, the value(s) scale to match the relative location.

• Anchor
  GraphStats GraphStats

  Graphing dialog; image stats added
  • Mean, Max, and Standard deviation can be displayed for Intensity and Histogram; right-click and select "Intensity Statistics" or "Histogram Statistics", respectively.

• Anchor
  LogTimestamp LogTimestamp

  Log dialog now has a time-stamp relative to the last time it was cleared.
  • In milliseconds, makes it easier to gauge the time between log events.

• Anchor
  EmbeddedData EmbeddedData

  Embedded data / Statistics tab
  • For those parts that provide metadata and statistics, a new tab is available next to the image display tab.
  • The tab is only present when the data is enabled.
  • The Statistics are presented as a true Histogram chart in the "Graphs" dialog, and can optionally overlay in the image.
  • Able to select which items, if any, are overlaid in the image, and the position within the image.
    • Right-click on any of the check boxes under "Overlay" to see a menu of display options, including Show/Remove all items from image Overlay.
  • Also works for images loaded in to DevWareX as long as the .txt file is available (that's where the Embedded Data is stored).

  WatchNonRegs WatchNonRegs

  Watch dialog items can be Non-registers (Python function or STATE variable)
  • Use the "Non-Register ..." button to open the dialog. Select either "Python Function" or "DevWare State", and then "Next".
  • For a "Python Function" follow the instructions provided.  Enter a function name in the "def" text box, then enter your Python code in the box below that, and use the "Test Function" to verify the validity of your function.
    Note: use an indentation of 4 spaces for your initial lines - the editor is trimming that by default to 4 spaces.
    • When you create the Python function in the GUI, it is saved in the Registry.
    • You can also create multiple Python functions in the INI file; here's an example.
  • For a "DevWare State", a list of available states is displayed.

• Anchor
  PresetSearch PresetSearch

  • Enable "SHIP", and run the INI file preset with the configuration you want to record.
  • Select "Export SHIP Log" - the settings are presented in "Wizard" dialog.
  • Select the ship address of the sensor if you need sensor-only, or leave all of them to get Demo3 and SERDES.
  • Deselect "Read", then select Next and then "Save to File ..." to output the results in as an INI file.
