Radiant Change Log ******************* Version 2.3.0 02/12/2019 ======================== New Features: ------------- - Release supports operation under Windows 10 Operation in addition to Windows 7 operation. Improvements: ------------- Bug Fixes: ---------- - Changes/bug fixes made at the lower software and drivers levels to add robustness when running under Window 10. Version 2.2.0 10/15/2016 ======================== New Features: ------------- - Two new primitives have been added - rising ramp and falling ramp. Both primitives have three parameters - initial amplitude value, final amplitude value and duration. The ramp primitive available in Radiant 2.1.0 is now obsolete, and it cannot be included in new patterns. However, patterns generated using Pattern Generator in Radiant 2.1.0 and containing the obsolete Ramp primitive are readable and can be changed or deleted as in Radiant 2.1.0. - The list of available Plexon LEDs was updated to include all current offerings. Improvements: ------------- - Plexon LEDs are now automatically sorted by wavelength in the LED editor and in the LED drop-down lists for channels. - If an .opt pattern file contains information about channel settings different from those currently selected for the channel, an appropriate warning message will be shown before the channel parameters are changed to match the information from the .opt file. - A progress bar is now shown while loading patterns from an .opt or .txt file to a channel. - Patterns loaded from .opt or .txt files that are larger than 20 MB will now be shown in channel displays schematically - as green trapezoids indicating the start and end of the patterns. This will prevent unnecessary redrawings of multiple points of the patterns. The red progress bar indicating stimulation progress will still be shown for these patterns. Bug Fixes: ---------- - Channels that are "not ready" were starting in response to a digital input if another channel was ready. - When Total Duration for a primitive is changed so that it is equivalent to many more than 999 Repetitions, and then the user switches back to select number of Repetitions, the displayed value in the Repetitions field will be limited to 999 (max allowed), and Total Duration will be updated to be equivalent to 999 repetitions (with a proper warning message). Version 2.1.0 6/7/2016 ====================== New Features: ------------- - Added support for upgrading firmware in the field. If Radiant V2.1 is run and detects that one 4-channel opto controller has a firmware version mismatch, Radiant will upgrade its firmware automatically. After upgrading the controller, Radiant will prompt that the controller be powered on and off, and then exit. If there are several controllers with a firmware version mismatch, Radiant will upgrade one each time it is run. After Radiant is restarted after each upgrade, the next controller will be upgraded. This continues until all attached controllers have the latest firmware. - LED Editor added. It allows the user to add non-Plexon LEDs to the drop-down LED selection lists. Also, users can select which Plexon LEDs show up in the drop-down LED selection lists. - Support for all functionality provided by new firmware is added. Improvements: ------------- - Each channel now has Start, Pause, Unpause and Stop Stimulation buttons. Buttons that cannot be used based on the current status of the channel are greyed out automatically. - Start All, Pause All, Unpause All and Stop All buttons are now implemented for each optogenetic controller. Pressing a button will initiate the expected action on the respective channel and current status is indicated. - Progress bar is added for graphical pattern views for all stimulation modes (manual, pattern from file and pattern from Pattern Generator). - Repetitions count is added for patterns loaded from a file. File data are visualized on the channels graphs in the Controller Patterns tab. - Pattern Generator patterns can now be played indefinitely (i.e. they will play continuously until stopped). Bug Fixes: ---------- - Implemented approximately 25 minor changes to correct small errors, typos, usability issues, and other items resulting from internal testing of this and prior releases. Version 2.0.0 12/24/2013 ======================== New Features ------------ - Radiant V2 requires license key. - Pattern Generator added. - Pattern Generator can run if no controllers present. - Possibility to export patterns from Pattern Generator to .ops files. Improvements ------------ - Now all data from .txt files (without headers) are interpreted as either voltage, or current or power instead of binary values. - Timescale units in charts are automatically switched between milliseconds, seconds and minutes depending on pattern length. Bug Fixes --------- - Over 100 internally reported bugs are fixed. There are no unfixed external bugs. Version 1.0.0 12/21/2012 ======================== New Features ------------ - Initial Releaase Improvements ------------ - Initial Release Bug Fixes --------- - None
