------------- Main changes in the version 2.5 comparing to the version 2.4.4 ------------
*New: Hardware: Support for higher sample rates introduced by the new A/D Converters INT9 and U-PAD2 (200 and 400 Hz).
*New: Signal Names and Units are stored for individual signals according to the configuration of the detector.
*New: Graphs: the Y axis (signal) displays the Signal Name and Units individually for each signal according to the detector used for acquisition.
*New: New RSTD% column in the Calibration - tab. It displays the relative standard deviation of averaged points used during recalibration of the respective concentration level.
*New: The Event Table events can react also to Auxiliary signal level changes.
*New: Auxiliary signals from controled modules (pressure, flow, temperature) can be displayed in chromatograms.
*New: Sequence window - new command File Export enables the export of the sequence table to a text file. (tab delimited format, first row contains column headers, hidden columns are not exported)
*New: Report Setup - Chromatogram - new option to print All/Active Chromatogram/Active Signal
*New: Options for displaying the Events and Auxiliary signals in chromatogram were added to the Graph Properties dialog (accessed from Chromatogram window).
*New: The access to Archive/Restore command for selected users can be restricted in the User Accounts settings.
*New: The menu item and icon Device Monitor was added to Data Acquisition, Chromatogram, Calibration and Sequence windows.
*New: The signal units in the Calibration are set according to the last chromatogram (calibration standard) used for calibration or recalibration.
*New: The maximum zoom level was increased, the time axis can now display intervals down to 0.0001 min
*New: The checkboxes for setting of Peak Coloring in Graph Properties dialogs were renamed.
Note: To see colored peaks in the Calibration Window the calibration standard must have the current calibration linked to it (this can be done in the Chromatogram window - Results tab).
*New: Report Setup - Method the Parameters section was divided to "Instrument Parameters" and "Acquisition Parameters", thus those sections can be selected for printing separately.
*New: For a first row in new Sequence the initial setting of Method, Report Setup and Post Run columns will be taken from the setting in the PostRun Setting dialog. For additional rows those settings are copied from previous line.
*New: In Chromatogram window, the number of Toggle buttons on the Toolbar for active signal selection was increased to 12
*New: The units in the Offset and Scale fields were removed.
*New: Data are exported in selected units, scaling of unists is not used (mV, V, …). Imported Data will not parse scaled Units.
*New: Value Units are in new installations on by default, when upgrading from older version of Clarity, it is necessary to use the Restore Default Columns command from local menu or set the display manualy for each column using "Show Value Units" in the Setup Columns dialog.
*New: The signal units in the Integration table (in Chromatogram and Method Setup windows) are displayed within the Value column.
*New: New level 21 was added to calibration table to enable blank response to be included in calculation of calibration curve. (zero amount on other levels excludes the level from calculation)
#Fixed Bug:
When the "Calibration" mode was set at certrain Calibration Level and the specified level was not created in the used calibration file, the first free Level instead of the specified one was calibrated during calibration from Sequence or Single Analysis windows.
#Fixed Bug: Mathematical Operations, Derivation - during saving of the modified chromatogram the raw data were stored, thus any reintegration led to loss of the derivation.
#Fixed Bug: Global Peak Width and Global Threshold parameters were not properly imported when opening CSW32 chromatograms.
#Fixed Bug: Noise and drift are displayed in signal units.
#Fixed Bug: The print of audit trail table ignored the formating on screen
#Fixed Bug: The actualization of file list in File Open dialog after manually setting a path
#Fixed Bug: The Status Bar in DataAcquisition dialog reorganize to display available information better.
#Fixed Bug: Tooltips on Run Sequence and Run Single icons provide additional information, such as "why it is inactive".
#Fixed Bug: The message "Password has been cleared" was incorrectly recorded in Audit Trail upon password change in User Accounts dialog.
#Fixed Bug: The Chromatogram Import dialog enables to define "Signal Name" and "Signal Units" during import.
#Fixed Bug: The Ctrl + Enter shortcut now enables to create new line in the Note field in Method Setup dialog.
#Fixed Bug: Hardware: drivers for INT7 and INT9 are compatible with 32bit Windows Vista systems.
******* Known Limitations ********
* Windows Vista
Clarity is not supported on 64 bit PC’s (both Windows XP and Vista).
When installed to C:/PROGRAM FILES with User Account Control (UAC) active, the access to data and system files may be restricted and the Clarity migt fail to operate correctly.
Excessive number of warning messages needs to be confirmed during installation.
* Sentinel HW key installation
The Sentinel HW key driver might not be installed automatically in some circumstances. In such case it needs to be installed manually, using the Sentinel Protection Installer 7.3.2.exe installation program. The program is located in the HW_DriversSentinel subfolder on the installation CD. Alternatively it can be downloaded from the producer web pages http://www.safenet-inc.com/support/tech/sentinel.asp, key type is Sentinel SuperPro.
For new installation, use the Custom option during installation and disable the installation of Sentinel Protection Server and Sentinel Keys Server.
For already installed keys, run the Installer with the Remove option first (the requested computer restart is not necessary) and than again with the Custom options as above.
* U-PAD2 under Windows 2000
Due to the driver problem the computer crash (restart) may occur, when the U-PAD2 is disconnected during analysis. This bug is not yet fixed in the last driver version. Under Windows XP or Vista this problem is not occuring.
