Release Date: August 20, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Added support for two new spectrometers that are as yet unreleased

· Moved the Update Center to a new server that should be better able to handle the network traffic. Note: SpectraSuite may cache the old server settings and refuse to check the new update site for changes. If this occurs, the user can correct this problem by removing their cached user settings. The simplest way to do this is as follows. First, apply this update. Next, find the “userdir” (in the menu, go to “Help”, then “About” and click the “Details” tab, then look for a line that shows which directory is the “userdir”). Next, shut down SpectraSuite and then move or delete the “userdir” directory. Finally, restart SpectraSuite. SpectraSuite should then look for updates from the correct server. This change was necessary so that the server could be relocated as needed to obtain more network bandwidth.

Bugs Fixed:

Fixed bug that prevented setting the laser wavelength (for computing Raman Shifts) while in Absolute Irradiance mode
Spliced-Spectra view would allow users to switch processing modes and stitch together spectra with incompatible Y-axis units
Connecting to a multi-channel Jaz system would take a very long time to complete
Y-axis on preview graphs would not correctly show logarithmic values when the minimum Y-axis value was less than zero
Exception when clicking on a preview graph
Maya 2000 and Maya Pro 2000 did not work under Linux
Exception when canceling out of “Show Overlay” dialog from a processed spectrum file icon
Strip chart would not save to file at specified time intervals
Laser wavelength editor dialog had an extra character in the title
Exception when ADC1000-USB and NIR spectrometer data are spliced
Update Center tries to use FTP when HTTP updates are specified, which prevents those behind firewalls (that block FTP) from obtaining updates. Note that the new update center configuration will use HTTP, but there may be other technical problems keeping files from being provided. This issue should be resolved prior to the next release.
Spliced spectrum made did not update correctly when multiple channels of an ADC1000-USB were spliced together
Manual was out of date. The current manual is still somewhat old, but should be updated further in the next release.
Strobe/Gate delay toolbar did not appear to work
Units/input values for the Strobe/Gate delay were invalid (was milliseconds, is now microseconds)
The graph produced via the Fluorescence Measurement wizard would be in scope mode instead of relative irradiance mode

Release Date: April 3, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

Added the ability to control a USB-ISS-UV/VIS with the USB2000+ (compatible firmware is required for the USB2000+ for it to work with the USB-ISS-UV/VIS).
Added a new feature in SpectraSuite to allow users to put the NIR-256 and the NIR512 into High Gain Mode. Additionally, users can store a default enable/disable value for the High Gain Mode in the EERPOM of the NIRs, and SpectraSuite will respect this default enable/disable accordingly.
To utilize this mode, right-click on the NIR spectrometer in the Data Sources window, choose “Features” and then click on the ”High Gain Mode” tab.

Bugs Fixed:

Fixed bug that caused the graph cursor bar to not move with the wavelength spinner when the acquisition was paused.
Fixed bug that caused the Centice MMS-Raman spectrometer’s features to not show up correctly under “Spectrometer Features”.
Fixed bug that caused the “Save Spectra Collection” dialog box to not resize properly and also caused the buttons to show up too small on Mac OS X.
Fixed bug that caused the “Percentage” text boxes on the PARSpec Module view to show incorrect values.
Fixed bug that caused users of the USB650 and USB325 to always be presented with an “Invalid Spectrum” error when trying to load a dark or reference sample from a file in one of the wizards (Absorbance Wizard, etc).
Fixed bug that caused the Spectra Splicing Feature to not work correctly when trying to splice an acquisition from a USB650 or USB325 with another spectrometer.

Fixed small bug in the Trigger Configuration Wizard that prompts the user to select an action for his/her trigger.

Release Date: March 31, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

Added some file-checking to make sure that users aren’t trying to open the text file that is saved by default when performing a High Speed Acquisition. Before, SpectraSuite would attempt to load this file, despite it being in the wrong format. Now, if it is detected that the user is trying to load this file, the user is presented with an error message dialog box instead, informing him/her that he/she needs to save a High Speed Acquisition via the “Save Spectra Collection…” action first.
The High Speed Acquisition capability is invoked by right-clicking on a spectrometer and choosing “High Speed Acquisition”.
To open a saved set of spectra, click on the menu item: File.Open Load Spectra Collection

Bugs Fixed:

Fixed bug that caused Auto-Toggle Strobe/Lamp enable feature to not respect the state of the Strobe/Lamp Enable. Now there are 3 possibilities:

Strobe enable on, auto toggle on: Lamp toggles on for each scan and off afterwards
Strobe enable on, auto toggle off: Lamp comes on and stays on
Strobe enable off, auto toggle on or off: Lamp is off

Fixed bug that caused Spectrometer Simulation to not work.

Fixed bug that caused “Save Spectrum Collection” action to balk when provided with an already-existing directory to save files to.
Fixed bug that sometimes prevented SpectraSuite from starting up on Windows platforms.

Changes in this release:

New Features:

Reduced the minimum allowed integration time for the Maya 2000 from 15 milliseconds down to 13 milliseconds. You can set the integration time for all spectrometers via the “acquisition parameters” panel near the top-left corner of the main SpectraSuite application window.

Bugs Fixed:

The USB-ISS-UV/VIS light souce now shows up in the “Data Sources” window when attached to the USB325 spectrometer.
Removed the external hardware trigger mode feature from the Maya and Maya Pro spectrometers (this mode was not supported by these devices).
The “Blackbody” label now displays properly when you choose “graph layer options”. To see this, right-click within a graph panel and choose “Graph Layer Options”. One of the tabs that will appear should now be labeled “Black-Body Layer”.
Corrected a problem that caused an exception when the user clicked within a graph panel, then clicked the “peaks” icon and then the “Configure” icon button.
Text fields were widened in the “Version Info” feature panel so it no longer clips the version numbers displayed for certain spectrometers. To bring up the “Version Info” panel, right-click on the spectrometer in the “Data Sources” window and choose “Spectrometer Features”. Then click on the “Version Info” tab.
Fixed a problem that prevented saving of irradiance calibration factors. To save irradiance calibration factors, right-click on the spectrometer in the “Data Sources” window and choose “Spectrometer Features”. Then click on the “Irradiance” tab. Enter the factors and click the “Save Factors” button.

Release Date: March 4, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

Support for Microsoft Vista (32-bit only) has been added.
Enhanced the feature that saves Omni Spectrum Collections from a High Speed Acquisition. High Speed Acquisitions are initiated by right-clicking on the spectrometer in the “Data Sources” window and choosing “High Speed Acquisition”. This feature now saves a series of single files, each containing one spectrum in a user-defined directory. This does the following:

Fixes the issue with the OmniSpectrumCollection file taking a large amount of time and memory to load
Allows users to save collections as a series of text files which is much faster to load
Makes it possible to load a single spectrum file and keep running the data though as an acquisition. This results in the ability to re-process previously-acquired data, so long as a suitable reference and dark spectrum are saved and loaded.

Added the ability to change the integration time for a QE65000 in 2D mode the same way the integration time can be changed for 1D mode.

Bugs Fixed:

Strip Chart file saver no longer drops zeroes from the acquisition time’s millisecond portion.
We are now able to access more than one Jaz spectrometer on a multi-channel system.
Fixed bug that caused SpectraSuite to hang when writing data to spectrometers’ EEPROM (Wavelength Coefficients, etc)
Fixed a bug causing the USB-ISS-UV/VIS to not work properly with the USB4000

The “Network Spectrometer” feature panel for the JAZ network spectrometer now accurately reflects the start-up state of the spectrometer (ie. IP address, connection state, etc.).
Additional enhancements to the SpectraSuite Spectrum-Splicing feature accessible under Tools | Splice Spectra
Added Analog-Out with an HR4000 or HR2000+ as an option for Triggering. This can be found under Tools | Triggers | Configure New Triggers.
Added the ability to transpose the 2D data when saving the spectrum to a text file. This will allow the resulting text file to be opened in Excel.

Bugs Fixed:

Removed “Rescan Devices” and “Remove Spectrometer” from the display thread so that SpectraSuite is not frozen until these finish executing.
Enhancements/clean-up to the Trigger Configuration Wizard GUI.
Fixed a commonly-thrown exception in the Absolute Irradiance Graph.
Fixed some bugs in the graphing code that caused the X-Axis to sometimes be incorrectly placed.

Release Date: January 21, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

Added a “Save Spectrum to File” event in the SpectraSuite triggering system accessible under Tools | Triggers.
Made several enhancements to the SpectraSuite Spectrum-Splicing feature accessible under Tools | Splice Spectra:

Added a color legend to show what the green and yellow regions mean.
Optimized the user interface to reduce flicker when moving sliders.
Enhanced the preview graph shown at the bottom of the Spectra-Splicing window.
Made the user interface more intuitive so that it will prevent users from accidentally splicing spectra of different processing modes together.
Made it possible to splice together multiple acquisitions from the same spectrometer (consequently allowing users to use a spectrometer at multiple integration times in the same spectrum).

Added a Full Width at Quarter Max (FWQM) measurement.
Added ability to scale current out signal on a USB-AOUT or USB-LS-450-4/20 to user-defined min and max. This functionality can be found when selecting a “Continuous Current Out” trigger under Tools | Triggers | Configure New Trigger.

Bugs Fixed:

· Various bug fixes in graphing code (this fixes some weird behavior that occasionally caused the X-Axis to show up at a weird place on the Y-Axis)

· Fixed problem that sometimes the preview graph on the Combine Calibration File dialog to show up incorrectly.

· Fixed bug that caused the Y-Axis label to change when changing the X-Axis units.

· Fixed bug that caused the Y-Axis label to always show up as “Intensity (counts)” when splicing spectra of other processing modes together. (For instance, if you’re splicing two absorbance measurements together, the Y-Axis label on the spliced graph will now reflect the appropriate units).

· Fixed bugs with “Show Raw” and “Auto Equalize” buttons on the “Exposure Image” feature panel of the QE65000 and MMS-Raman spectrometers.

· Fixed bug causing the image on the “Exposure Image” feature panel on the QE65000 and the MMS-Raman spectrometers to sometimes disappear if the feature panel is resized.

Release Date: January 4, 2008

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Replaced 3^rd party charting library with a version devloped in-house. This fixed several long-standing issues.

1. Font colors and typefaces are now configurable. To change these items, right-click the graph and choose “Graph Layer Options”.

2. Eliminated the superfluous “Min must be less than max” warning message.

3. Fixed various anomolies when drawing preview graphs.

4. Fix a problem with panning and zooming which caused trend lines to occasionally fail to line up correctly with the axes.

· Added preliminary support for the current-loop output feature of the USB-AOUT and LS-450-4/20 devices. Users can now generate a 4 to 20 milliamp signal that is proportional to scope mode intensity. The output signal can be based on three different input modes (all based on scope mode values).

1. Intensity at a single wavelength.

2. An average of intensities for a range of wavelengths.

3. The value of an integration over a range of wavelengths.

To activate the current-loop output signal, go to the “Tools” menu and choose “Triggers” and then “Configure New Trigger”. Then choose “Continuous current out”. Next, give your trigger a unique name. Then choose the spectrometer that will supply the input intensity values. Click “Next” and choose the input mode (single wavelength, averaged wavelengths, or integration) and specify a wavelength value(s). Lastly, choose the spectromter to which the USB-AOUT or LS-450-4/20 device is attached. The current-loop output signal should immediately begin to track the input intensity values.

Note: the signal will appear across the following two connector pins:

· pin 6 -- ground

· pin 8 – signal

Refer to the “Installation and Operation Instructions” document for the USB-AOUT for more details. You can download this PDF document from www.OceanOptics.com

Bugs Fixed:

· Further improvements to photometry on spectrometers that don’t cover the entire visible range.

Release Date: December 6, 2007

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Added “Jaz Network Spectrometer” to the Spectrometer menu. This is intended for use with the Ocean Optics Jaz spectrometer, when released, to connect to spectrometers via Ethernet. When this menu item is selected, it will create a placeholder for the spectrometer in the Data Sources area. Right-click on the icon, select “Spectrometer Features”, and go to the “Network” tab. Enter the IP address of the Jaz unit on the network (leaving the port as 7654) and press “Connect”. It is recommended that you then click “Update Status”. If the spectrometer is found, it will indicate that you are connected. At this point, you may start acquiring from that spectrometer as usual. Note that this feature is still somewhat experimental and will be improved in the near future.

Bugs Fixed:

· Fixed a bug in the chemical concentration calculations. When using the calibrated concentration mode, the resulting concentration was using the inverse of the correct extinction polynomial.

· Made the QE65000 image mode tool properly recognize the firmware version of supported spectrometers.

· Fixed an issue that may have limited SpectraSuite to a maximum of four spectrometers connected at one time, and may have prevented Windows from recognizing a spectrometer after it had been plugged/unplugged four times.

Release Date: November 11, 2007

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Added a tool to splice spectra together. This is primarily intended for combining the outputs of different spectrometers for broad-band analysis (for instance, combining a UV/VIS spectrometer with an NIR spectrometer). To use this feature, select “Splice Spectra” from the Tools menu. There is an interactive editor that will allow the user to specify the wavelengths that are contributed by each spectrometer, and an overall graph at the bottom that shows the current splice result, with any gaps denoted in yellow. Note that this feature should be selected after starting the acquisitions on the spectrometers. That is, to combine two spectrometers and do a broad-band absorbance measurement, first start absorbance measurements on both spectrometers and then splice the spectra together.

Bugs Fixed:

· Fixed an error in the USB interface on the Mac that may have prevented multiple spectrometers from being available at once.

· Fixed a lingering issue under Linux that sometimes prevented a spectrometer from being detected.

Release Date: November 5, 2007

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Added support for self-triggering in spectrometers with the appropriate firmware.

· Improvements in imaging for QE65000 and MMS-Raman spectrometers, allowing the CCD image to be visualized and saved as a tab-delimited file.

· Added a Strip Chart Table option that tracks a value over time and updates a table with a new row for each observation.

· Added preliminary support for the Jaz spectrometer. Note that some system files may not update through the Update Center, and require a new installation.

· Rewrote the USB interface for all operating systems. This has the following benefits:

· Adds Linux support for any spectrometers not previously supported (e.g. MMS-Raman)

· Removes the requirement for libstdc++ version 5 being installed on a Linux workstation

Bugs Fixed:

· Fixed a code trigger bug that prevented the user from removing triggers.

· Fixed typographical errors in the descriptions of triggers.

· Limited the update rate of the graph to give more time for updating the rest of the application.

· Fixed a bug that sometimes caused SpectraSuite to generate extremely large log files.

· Ensured that the user manual was properly included in the release.

Release Date: October 1, 2007

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Refined the user-defined triggers from the previous release. It is now possible to configure different types of triggers, including button presses and data triggers (e.g. spectrometer saturated, pixel value went out of bounds) and to invoke different actions as a result (e.g. call user code in Java or C, play audio file, change spectrometer GPIO state for those that provide GPIO). These functions can be found under the Tools menu.

Bugs Fixed:

· Further refinement of the Spanish translation. This translation still only affects the core of SpectraSuite and the Chemistry module.

Release Date: September 7, 2007

Changes in this release:

New Features:

· Added the capability for users to create a button in the SpectraSuite GUI that when pressed will call an external function of their choosing. Note that this feature is somewhat limited at present, but will be extended in subsequent releases. For now, it is possible to call a C function from a DLL, .so, or .jnilib file (that is, under Windows, Linux, or MacOSX), or a Java function from a .jar file (on any platform). The function will take a single integer value that the user specifies when linking to the function. This initial capability will allow a user to create an external library where events are triggered by buttons in SpectraSuite, such that the action to perform is selected by the integer parameter, e.g. pre-defined positions on a translation table. It is expected that this feature will be expanded to allow spectra to be passed as parameters when specific events occur (button presses or data triggers), and a generic set of such events will be developed. In addition to calling user functions, these events will be capable of changing the spectrometer state, e.g. GPIO settings. To see this feature in its current state, look in the menu under Tools | Custom Libraries. To make a button that calls external code, it is necessary to identify the function (Tools | Custom Libraries | Add New External Library), then map a button to it (Tools | Custom Libraries | Configure External Library).

Bugs Fixed:

· Added some omitted strings for the Spanish translation. This translation still only affects the core of SpectraSuite and the Chemistry module.

Changes in this release:

New Features:

The SpectraSuite UI has now been partially translated into Spanish. This includes the Chemistry module and parts of the core. The translated text should appear automatically on computers in a Spanish-speaking locale.
The spectrum for the QE65000 now shows the “dark” pixels for the detector appended to the end of the spectrum. That is, the spectra for this spectrometer will now show an extra 20 pixels at the end, but these are for visualization and are not intended to be used for measurements.
Added option to show eV/nm on the Y-axis when computing Absolute Irradiance. This is available under the Processing | Absolute Irradiance | Conversions menu.

Bugs Fixed:

A bug in the concentration module causing the linear regression to be incorrectly calculated for calibrated solutions has been fixed. The epsilon value that had been shown was in fact the inverse of the correct value.

Set wavelength range of overlay/source to monitor.
Set threshold (y units) difference between overlay and source before a difference is recorded.
Hide/Display threshold range.
Adjust color and transparency of threshold range.
Adjust color of trendline which is outside of range (e.g. any portions of the trendline which fall outside the specified range will change color).
Perform an action when a certain percentage of the trendline meets a specified requirement. (e.g. save spectrum if 95% of spectrum is within threshold)
