Compatibility note ] [ + Added feature ] [ * Improved/changed feature ] [ - Bug fixed ] In case of questions or problems, please contact support@neurocheck.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from NeuroCheck version 6.1.7 to 6.1.8 (SP1) ! Changed file format for check routine files. ! Changed file format for configuration files. ! Changed file format for Process View files, Control Panel files and Control Panel Menu files. + Added support for Windows 10 operating system. + Added control panel menu command "Register initialize from file". + Added command line option "/CPUAFF" to set the desired CPU affinity. + Added "Project snapshot" to Diagnostics tool. + Added category "Devices in use" to Diagnostics tool. + Added command line options "/systemcheck" and "/projectsnapshot" to Diagnostics tool to allow non-interactive operation. + Added "Diagnostics" menu item in the "?" main menu in manual mode to start the Diagnostics tool directly from the NeuroCheck software. + Added new data format converter for Modbus communication over an Ethernet adapter (NcFmtCnv.NeuroCheck.Modbus.NET.dll version 6.1.0). + Added format options for an input string in fieldbus data format converter (NcFmtCnv.NeuroCheck.Fieldbus.NET.dll version 6.1.4). * Improved window management of Process View: Window can not be closed by clicking on the top right red cross unless the commands "Process View Show" and "Process View Hide" are available. * Improved "Serial communication test" dialog. * Improved fieldbus communication behavior for multi instance operation (NcFb.Hilscher.CifX.NET.dll version 6.1.4). * Removed impossible option "Stop bits = None" for serial port driver (NcSc.SerialPort.NET.dll version 6.1.2). - Problem fixed with calculation of "White pixels" and "Black pixels" feature in check function "Compute Features" for non-rectangular ROIs. - Problem fixed with Automatic mode start behaviour in check function "Initialize Data in Register". - Problem fixed in "Reset" operation of TCP/IP over Ethernet driver (NcSc.TcpIp.NET.dll version 6.1.5). - Several minor problems fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from NeuroCheck version 6.1.6 to 6.1.7 ! Changed file format for check routine files. ! Changed file format for process view files. + Added new check function "Initialize Data in Register". + Added new check function "Get System Information". + Added buttons "Import values" and "Export values" in Data Register Manager to manage files containing the register values only, for example for use by check function "Initialize Data in Register". + Added command line option "/NODPIWARNING" to prevent from displaying a warning message on startup. * Improved color display of ROI group results in "Count ROIs". * Extended TCP/IP over Ethernet driver to support more than one device of type "TCP-Client" per Ethernet adapter. (NcSc.TcpIp.NET.dll version 6.1.4). - Problem fixed with creation of ROIs in special cases in check function "Create ROIs by thresholding". - Problem fixed with editing the "Text" property of menus and commands in Control Panel Menu Editor. - Problem fixed with setting of column widths in "Check Function List Visualization" in Process View Designer. - Problem fixed in high-speed image stack acquisition of NeuroCheck camera driver (NcDc.Baumer.UI.NET.dll version 6.1.4.0). - Several minor problems fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from NeuroCheck version 6.1.5 to 6.1.6 ! Changed file format for check routine files. ! Changed file format for process view files. + Added scale invariance in check function "Template Matching". Proportional and non-proportional scaled search options are available. + Added configurable "Input Reset Mode" for serial communication (for TCP/IP or RS232 devices). The data format converter pins can be reset for request-reply communication pattern or buffered for a fieldbus like behavior. (NcFmtCnv.NeuroCheck.Serial.NET.dll version 6.1.4). + Added socket polling to detect interrupted TCP/IP connections. TCP/IP server and client start to reconnect automatically. (NcSc.TcpIp.NET.dll version 6.1.3). + Added option to ignore usual output reset at startup for fieldbus devices. Useful for multi instance operation. (NcFb.Hilscher.CifX.NET.dll version 6.1.3). + New property added to specify column width in "Check Function List Visualization" in Process View. * Improved zoom usability using mouse wheel in result view. * Improved copy and paste functionality of grid points in template editor in parameter dialog of check function "Template Matching". * Improved performance reading multiple pins in check function "Read Data into Register". Refresh of data format converter is called only once per channel. * Improved performance reading from multiple channels in check function "Read Process Input Bit". Only the channel of a data format converter is refreshed instead of the whole data format converter. * Class names can be renamed in check function parameter dialog of "Color Matching". * Multiple driver event mechanism is not applied in case of "High detailed level" logging for special analysis of regular high speed inspections. * Additional parameter for process command "Register reset" in remote control. Input, output and free registers can be reset separately. * Additional parameter for Control Panel Menu Command "Register reset". Input, output and free registers can be reset separately. * Improved error handling in data format converter communication. - Problem fixed with feature "Template Index" in check function "Template Matching" when using rotated templates. - Problem fixed with groupwise execution in check function "Color Matching". - Problem fixed with language specific function names of Buttons in Control Panel Designer. - Problem fixed with marginal differences in calculated rotation angles between 32 and 64-bit systems in check function "Template Matching". - Several minor problems fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from NeuroCheck version 6.1.4 (RTM) to 6.1.5 + Extended Plug-in Interface to directly access camera image acquisition. + Added detailed information about multiple check routine IDs on the "Check type" page in the Software Settings dialog. * Extended possible range for check routine ID from 16383 (14 bit) to 2147483647 (31 bit). * Changed load behavior of external DLLs to make Windows no longer block modules downloaded from internet. * Check routines with invalid flow configuration now display an error upon loading. * Improved runtime performance for data register visualization of data type "String" in the result view. - Problem fixed in configuration of length of floating point numbers in overall fixed protocol mode. (NcFmtCnv.NeuroCheck.Serial.NET.dll version 6.1.3). - Problem fixed with displaying Log files in Internet Explorer. - Problem fixed with saving look-up-table in "Polygon" mode in check function "Apply Look-up Table on Image". - Problem fixed with display of gauging "Degree" sign in the result view. - Problem fixed with manually saving images on Windows 8. - Several minor problems fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from NeuroCheck version 6.0 to 6.1.4 (RTM) Please refer to the "What's new in NeuroCheck 6.1" documentation. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
