Version 2.00r4
19-Dec-2003
Mostly small changes with the installer, Siezmo, Special Thermal. Couple bug fixes with ForceReview.



Version 2.00r3
12-Dec-2003
Working on the New Force review, fixing bugs. Fixed problems with many (> 4) stretching events and fitting to the WLC model.
Fixed more bugs than I care to remeber with the WLC tab. Still not perfect, but a LOT better. Finally tracked down what the hell was causing the fit to say singular matrix, so that should not happen nearly as often.


Version 2.00r2
04-Dec-2003
Fixed up Long Dwell. It now will collect User In channels (if set from the Set User Channel Menu).
The old school force review will now put the parts together for you. The new school (v 2.00r0) force review will not be able to deal with these force plots, so it is a good idea to keep them separate on the hard drive.

Fixed the color of the realtime Long Dwell
Added a menu item to display the realtime dwell data (see LongDwell Graph)
Fixed the Long Dwell away from surface forward pull
and the Long Dwell Towards the surface reverse pull

Also fixed bug with long dwell not putting data back together correctly after changing the number of points in the Force plot.

Fixed a few more bugs with velocity / points per wave controls for dual pulls and long dwells.

Fixed the Zposition calculation for the offline Long Dwell.

Fixed RealTime Reverse pull Long Dwells, the data was not being put back together correctly.

Changed it so that when you switch between forward and reverse pulls it adjusts the start dist to cover the save region (if possible).

Added the very simple Long Dwell Gain Panel.



Version 2.00r1
01-Dec-2003
Bug fixes, mostly with Dual Pull. Found the help file that 2.00r0 lost.
Dual pull offline should be Good - to - Go (GTG) for old school and new school.

The slow trigger was fixed up in some previous version, and apparently I forgot to write it down. But I have rechecked it and it works for dwells, reverse pull, non-synched velocities, and even Dual pulls. In version 1.33r3 it only worked for forward synched pulls with no dwell.





Version 2.00r0
11-Nov-2003
This version requires Igor 4.08, but Igor 4.09 is recommended.

Has XOP 1.43r3
The MFP3D force review has been inserted into the 1D code. The buggy partially finished force analysis interface added in 1.40 has been removed (that was the testing ground for the 3D force review). The 3D force review is detailed in MFP Master Force Panel. The new force review is opened from the MFP Display - > Force Review Panel menu.

Also tagged in the MFP3D Window manager (see MFP Display -> Window Manager menu).

The 3D Force review loads the data in using a different set of code from that of the old 1D loaders. This translates the data to something close enough to the 3D format so that things can still work. Because of this all of the old 1D code from versions 1.34 and before, is still in here, so you can still do things the old way. But if you want to use both ways, then you have to load 2 copies of your data in. One with the MFP Other -> Load from Disk menu, then from the MFP Force Panel.

You should also be aware that the 3D force review was written using 2 gHz rigs, so if you are still packing an old school 600 mHz 1D NT 4 rig, you might think about just installing this version on a newer computer as a workstation. Some of the operations can take a fair amount of CPU (or you could just not use the 3D review while collecting data).



Version 1.40r1
XX-Aug-2003


Long Dwell (>= 10 Secs)
When you load Long dwell data, the software will plug the waves together for you. Review can color the waves correctly. It also calculates a reasonable time wave (not exact, but should be close). It also calculates the DisplayZ correctly.

added a Programming menu, modeled after the 3D code. New panels will use variables stored in waves, and these waves can be accessed through these menus.

I will make it so that the FPs loaded from disk will go into separate data folders named after the dir they were loaded from.

If you cancel in the save to disk dialog it will not save the files to disk.

Some work was done to the review panel. The major difference being that the review data is now stored in a data folder directory based on the file format that the files were loaded from. This is to help prevent file name conflicts. The majority of the rest of the panel should execute as before.

New review note format. The entire wave note is shown in a table. This does not edit the actual note, it is a copy of the data.


Bug Fixes:
Loading from disk can now overwrite files (was a crash).
The graph Orientation is no long pulled out of the Wavenote. In recent versions it was pulled out, and then would override User graph orientations, so that only the value in the note could be used. The Graph Orientation is also no longer saved in the note (since we are not going to use it anyway).



Version 1.34r2

20-Jan-2003

Bug fixes:
Potential problem with dual dwell fix with regards to calculation of the Zposition wave in the review panel.
Zposition wave is now correctly calculated for the Dual Pull.
Fixed the Zposition calculation for FPs collected with dwell time>=10 sec, prior to longdwell (Version 1.32r1)
Browse can now color correctly when a data folder has both single and dual pull FPs.



Version 1.34r1
10-Jan-2003
The primary difference with this version is the dual pull option. When operating in this mode the MFP will do force plots within force plots. After finishing part of the retract cycle it will go forward again, presumably relaxing the strain on a stretched polymer. There are also optional dwells available before and after the switch of directions. To learn more about this operation please read the Dual Pull section of the general help.

Thermal Tune is started with Control 6 [Keyed Functions]
Accelerators were added to the menus
HTML links to AR web pages were added to the help menu
Added button to set the current date as the base name (for those late night grad students who continue working after midnight, this buds for you).
Added help menus to each of the four main pull-down menus. To turn them on select help->Show Help Menus

Fixed Bug with calculation of the number of points per wave for long dwells.
Fixed Bug for "both" type dwells allowing the user to drop the dwell time to less than 10 after setting the DwellSetting.


Version 1.33r3

5-Nov-2002
*There is now a relative trigger mode in slow trigger.


Version 1.32r1

30-Oct-2001
*The main additions are slow trigger.
*Slow trigger adjusts the start distance between scans to keep the maximum deflection constant.
*Dwells that last for 10 seconds or more are not saved in the wave, so they can be of any length. This version fixes a bug in b5 that so that this works with scan rates other than 1 Hz.


Version 1.31r1

07-Mar-2001
* This version requires Igor Pro version 4. The main additions are fishing mode and averaging.
* Fishing mode allows you to drive the tip up and down using the hamster while watching the results. After you manage to hook something you can then do a normal pull.
* Averaging takes a set of waves and averages them together. There is a stock Igor routine for averaging waves, our new routines get the waves correlated before the actual averaging. This version only works on the approach part of the curve.
* There are some bug fixes also, mostly reported (and fixed) by Jason Bemis of the University of Pittsburg.


Version 1.30r1

11-Jan-2001
Highlights of 1.30

Separate approach and retract speeds.
Video window keeps proper rectangular shape.
Improved low level offset and range support.
Fixed bug which would consume massive resources over time until Igor eventually crashed.
Piezo now less likely to click.
Help buttons sprinkled everywhere.
Totally confusing Thermal panel to test out new help system. :-)


Version 1.20r1

01-Aug-2000
Highlights of 1.2

The acquisition frequency can now be changed.
You can save waves directly to disk.
You can save waves with the "Save Current Waves" button.
There are hot keys for some things.
The Thermal PSD now shows work in progress.
The Realtime graph can be displayed with the axes zeroed.
DisplayLVDT is now called Zposition.
There are macros that save or load waves to or from the hard drive.
You can capture a bunch of waves and then change the InvOLS or the spring constant afterwards.


Version 1.00r1

05-Mar-2000 *First Release
