OmniPlex Change Log See the Release Notes for additional information and details Questions or problems? Contact support@plexon.com Release 1.19.7 May 22, 2020) - Added support for the 16 channel version of the AuxAI card (10 kHz/chan maximum sampling rate, PCIe chassis only) - Fixed a bug where an invalid frequency range could be specified for the Spectral 3D view. Release 19.4 (November 22, 2019) - Fixed a bug where the grounded/true reference option was incorrectly disabled for HST64DS and HST64DSH headstages. - Fixed a bug where some pxc files did not load correctly on OPX-A systems. Release 19.3 (October 17, 2019) - Fixed a bug in PlexControl where the Units View could crash on a disabled channel. - Fixed a bug where some pxc files did not load correctly. - Fixed a bug in the C/C++ and Python Native Client SDKs where continuous channel numbers were off by one. Release 19.2 (August 2, 2019) - Fixed problem where DHP systems with PDL firmware version 2.0 displayed an error message after the DHP was updated to the latest firmware (DADH 2.9 / DPWR 2.2). Release 19.0 (July 17, 2019) - Added support for 128 channel digital headstages (HST128DS). Note that HST128DS support requires a DHP firmware update to signal board (DADH) firmware version 2.9. See: C:\Program Files (x86)\Plexon Inc\OmniPlex\Common Files\ffu\ FFU_instructions.pdf for the update procedure. - Added true peak alignment feature for aligned extraction in thresholding device options. - Toggling between live and snapshot display modes no longer affects unit editing status. - Added support for the Native Client API to PlexNetLocal and PlexNetRemote. - Added ability to change length of only the currently selected sorting line (hold down CTRL while using toolbar spin control). - OPX-A systems can now include AuxAI card (if present in chassis) in new topologies (see Topology Wizard). Note that the AuxAI input range is +/- 2.5V for OPX-A systems. - Attempting to change client options before saving changes now warns that changes will be lost unless saved. - Configuring a DHP headstage port for the wrong headstage type (e.g. HST64 vs HST32) now prevents DHP data acquisition from starting, as opposed to only generating a warning message; missing (disconnected) headstages still only generate a warning, unless no headstages are connected - Made additional improvements to digital headstage detection for greater reliability with odd cable lengths. - Fixed bug where OmniPlex allowed the user to select grounded referencing or true referencing for 64 channel digital headstages in the DHP device options, although this option had no effect, since HST64D hardware referencing is determined by the specific model of headstage and is not user-programmable. - Fixed bug where changing the Minimize Client Latency option while PlexControl was open could cause unexpected behavior. - Fixed bug in low-true logic option in individual events mode on eChassis DI card (DIN). This fix requires updating to DIN firmware version 2.2.

See: C:\Program Files (x86)\Plexon Inc\OmniPlex\Common Files\ffu\ FFU_instructions.pdf for the update procedure. - Fixed bug where changing between 32 and 64 channel digital headstages could cause incorrect channel numbering in certain cases. - Fixed bug where the per-port pullup/pulldown options for the eChassis DI card (DINe) were swapped between ports A/B. - Fixed bug where a pxc could be loaded with a different timestamp resolution than the resolution currently in Server, which caused various problems. - Fixed bug where magnification changes in a continuous view that were caused by another view changing its magnification (with Chain Control enabled) didn't update the magnification value shown in its toolbar control. - Fixed bug with saving the default pxs directory in Server. - Fixed bug where the initial update of the sort quality metrics swapped the LRatio and Isolation Distance values. - Improved quality of interpolation in main spike window. - Improved performance at high channel counts.
