------------- Main changes in the version 2.7 comparing to the version 2.6 ------------
Installation:
*New: New installer, it better controls the installation and uninstallation process of Clarity.
*New: During installation the uninstallation of previous version is offered.
*New: Option Uninstall A/D converter system drivers.
*New: The installation to Program Files directory is not allowed in Windows Vista.
*New: Open Whatsnew checkbox in the final installer screen.
Method:
*New: If the template method opened in the Instrument window was changed during a single run, after finishing the current run it will be sent to the controlled devices according to the settings in the Instrument Method Sending dialog.
#Fixed Bug: Method Setup dialog: the validity of values is not required when Cancel is used to close the window.
#Fixed Bug: Method Setup - Integration: the units in the Integration Table were displayed incorrectly (mV instead of detector units).
Chromatogram:
*New: Operations in Integration table: ASTM Noise Evaluation and 6-Sigma Noise Evaluation.
*New: Chromatogram comments: a possibility to add comments to chromatogram.
*New: Summary Table Options dialog: new Show All Signals check box enables to display in the Summary Table also chromatograms without any identified peak.
#Fixed Bug: The Set Signal Names command is now active also for single signal chromatograms.
#Fixed Bug: Chromatogram - Results, Calculation Options window: tooltip displaying the path to currently used calibration file.
#Fixed Bug: Chromatogram List dialog - minor improvements (icon, help button, etc.).
#Fixed Bug: Possible crash after creating a label linked to a chromatogram signal followed by Save As of the chromatogram.
Calibration:
#Fixed Bug: Calibration curve graph is now autoscaled to show all recalibration points.
#Fixed Bug: Calibration graph - the recalibration points were in some cases displayed incorrectly.
#Fixed Bug: The layout of headers in the Calibration Table was corrected - use the Restore Default Columns to apply changes.
#Fixed Bug: Incorrect display of recalibration points in the calibration curve graph.
Sequence:
*New: Tooltips with the acquired chromatogram filenames are now displayed for measured lines (blue) in the filename column.
*New: Sequence window: Changed icon for the Check Sequence command.
*New: Sequence Table, Run column is now editable also for measured lines.
*New: Sequence window: during Single Run the acquisition control icons are inactive (explanation given in tooltip), the actual Run Time (of the Single Run) is displayed in the Status Bar.
*New: New variable for creating file names in sequence table %L adds the Sequence Line Number (= row number in the Sequence Table).
#Fixed Bug: Pasting of several values in a row at once caused filling the other columns with default values instead of the values from previous row.
#Fixed Bug: It was not possible to edit method with External Start set to other option then Start Only.
Print:
*New: Print report - Chromatogram graph in landscape orientation is printed as last item in the printout.
#Fixed Bug: Lab. Header dialog: bug causing crash in print or preview of certain pictures in PNG format.
#Fixed Bug: Page Setup: the Black and White Print option was not applied/stored under some circumstances.
#Fixed Bug: the peaks with colored background were printed incorrectly in landscape graph orientation.
#Fixed Bug: the Integration Table printout now includes measurement units.
Hardware:
*New: Improved detection of HW key during analysis to prevent the incorrect detection of missing key, resulting in the "DEMO - Keylock test failed" mode.
#Fixed Bug: Improved reliability of start run detection on DataApex A/D boards.
#Fixed Bug: The custom units in the A/D converters INT7 and INT9 were remembered only untill the end of Clarity session.
Data Acquisition:
*New: All icons for Acquisition control are now available in toolbars of Instrument, Data Acquisition, Device Monitor and Sequence windows. Use the Reset All command to apply changes.
#Fixed Bug: The actual zoom was lost during signal selection.
#Fixed Bug: The View - Fixed Axis menu command settings functioned incorrectly in some cases.
Backup:
*New: Archive/Restore now supports also the Audit Trail file types (audit, log).
*New: Including Common checkbox enables to include/exclude the files from Common directory.
#Fixed Bug: An Internal Application Error when trying to restore damaged archive file or overwrite existing read only archive file.
#Fixed Bug: Backup, Archive - it was not possible to uncheck the "Common" checkbox.
Miscellaneous:
*New: Error messages with numeric ranges - the ambiguous notations were unified to word descriptions.
*New: Improved tooltips indicating reason for disabled button or icon for Run Acquisition.
*New: New command line parameters seq_export, seq_export_utf8, seq_import, seq_import_append for export and import of sequence and seq_save and seq_save_as to be able to save changed sequence from command line.
*New: The Always on Top command was removed from Clarity. In combination with modal window it could potentially cause a problematic situation.
*New: The demo data structure was reorganized, all demo project names start with a "DEMO".
*New: Closing of Clarity station is indicated by splashscreen.
*New: Instrument window: current user name is displayed in a field in the Status Bar.
*New: Improved import of AIA chromatograms with respect to imported signal range - the used range in Clarity is adjusted for the real signal values.
*New: The buffer for monitoring the signal in the DataAcquisition window when the acquisition is not running has been increased to 300 min.
#Fixed Bug: Instrument window: Clicking the method name in the Status Table opens the Method Open dialog even during analysis. The selected template method will be opened regardless of the actually running method name is still displayed here.
#Fixed Bug: File name variables - corrected functionality for %Z - Time Zone Name and %D - dd_mm_yyyy.
#Fixed Bug: The ranges in graphs can be now defined to arbitrary order of magnitude.
#Fixed Bug: Sequence import: problems in automatic column headers detection.
