Dfind 1.1(.2172.52665)

New features

• Method prefix is constant now.
• Selected measurement now remembers its plot colors. Each result has its own unique color.
• "Show trashcan" button was moved to the right hand side. Name of the button was changed to "Show deleted projects" / "Hide deleted projects" (depending on state).
• Plot scaling was not implemented for a right (dissipation axis) and a second right Y axis. Now it is implemented.
• Standard 1-parameter column method for Period level was created
• 1. Default time units are taken from "Preferences" panel only once, during first layer model init. All subsequent plot(s) updates take prefix from the last user setting (right mouse click menu changes etc)
  2. "Configure measurement..." panel uses time units (seconds or hh/mm/ss) that were last seen at any plot at any level
  3. Each plot at 4-plot Smartfit / Broadfit composite view remembers its time units
• The "Create plot" method could create both X-Y plots of parameters or bar diagrams, dependent on Analysis level and parameter selection. Those two varieties were split into separate methods: "Create XY Plot" and "Column Plot" respectively. Emergence of the methods depends on analysis level:
  • "Time" has only "Create XY Plot" available
  • "Period" - both types are available (depends on selected results)
  • "Measurement" - both types are available (depends on selected results)

Fixed bugs

• A dropdown is shown on a Level Table menu icon click. The icon is located at the top right corner of the panel. There are two options now:
  1. "Export table..." - leads to "Export table dialog".
  2. "Result formatting" leads to a result formatting dialog which contains all results which were used in a current Level Table in the form of a drop down box. User is able to format the result (i.e. set unit prefix, change representation, power, number of displayed digitsetc. ) after he/she selected it.
  Previously a warning Information dialog was displayed on the icon click as a result of exporting currently selected entry. It was a mistake.
• All description text is visible in "Delete long-hidden measurements" dialog now. Previously user has to scroll horizontally to read the description.
• MultiPlot view went blank after reopening. Now it is fixed.
• Linear fit method: X constraints didn't work, now they do

• Each harmonic now has its own constant plot symbol.
• POI method result name was changed from "001" to "Shift"
• Sauerbrey and Composite Sauerbrey method didn't show anything when all period roles of the measurement is set to "Baseline (bare)". Now thickness and mass plots shows line at zero.
• A warning message was added saying that Reference zeroing bar can only reside in Baseline bare periods and the period border should snap back to the original position. It appears when a period border is placed inside baseline reference cursor area.
• Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBounds when Max Slope method works on small datasets
• 1. Fixed wrong axis labels
  2. Fixed excessive unit prefixes at X axis
  3. Reestablished connection between values inside Level Table and unit prefix set by method or using "Result formatting" label

  5. A and B values were untied from results correction factors (A and B are constants now)
  6. Fixed NaN labels at Max Slope plot, they are untied from correction factors now (constants now)
• It is possible to add plots from "Layer" level to a Report. This functionality was notimplemented earlier. The list of plot views:
  • Sauerbrey
  • Composite Sauerbrey
  • Broadfit
  • Smartfit
  • Comparing Layer Models
