A. New Features:
B. Enhancements:
The following modifications are included in version 7.0:
1. New Plugin Feature.
Plugins provide a complete mechanism for customization of the captured data. While operating in the new "Auto Run" mode, plugins also have the ability to halt the analyzer, determine which captures to preserve and which captures to discard.
2. New Auto Searches.
Auto Searches expand the normal search to a linked list of positions in the captured data that meet the search criteria. Click on any line of the resulting list to scroll the matching data into view. AutoSearches also have the ability to halt the analyzer, determine which captures to preserve and which captures to discard based on the search result.
3. New Capture History.
Starting with Version 7.0, all captures can be stored automatically to a sequential history. Browsing through the history or jumping to a location in history can be performed with a single click. Specific captures can be "book marked" for easy location. Configuration, bookmarks, history storage and disk space usage are project based so each project can retain its captured files and settings.
4. New History Search.
After saving multiple captures to a sequential history, additional searches can be performed automatically to the entire history by using the Capture History search. This search is similiar to our Auto Search Windows (which can halt the analyzer on a match count), but it differs by searching already captured data files and halts the search when the results match. Just like our Auto Searches, any normal search criteria can be selected.
5. New Auto Run Mode.
Previously, DigiView software featured a continuous run mode for quick acquistion without the need to wait until a trigger condition occurred. Version 7.0 has added a new run mode that waits until a full trigger based acquisition is completed before automatically starting another acquistion. Depending on Acquisition settings, Auto Search criteria and Plugin control, each capture is saved to disk while the next capture begins.
6. New Auto-Halt, Save and No-Save Features.
Saving the captured data may not be desirable during an overnight or extended Auto Run cycle, unless the data contains the information you are hoping to find. Version 7.0 adds the option of discarding unwanted captures and saving just the ones of interest.
7. New Adjustable Time Reference.
The center time referrence in the waveform view was located at a fixed position in previous versions but is now adjustable for positioning to any division to the left or right of center. This time reference point is used for "Jump To" and Snap" features and the sample time indicator at the top of each waveform.
8. New Analyzer File Conversions (Model Convert).
Files previously configured for a specific DigiView Analyzer or Analyzer capture mode can be opened and used with a different analyzer model. The conversion is performed automatically when the file is opened if permission is granted from the user. A file can be manually converted at any time from the file menu. All settings (Signals, Trigger Configurations, Searches) will be converted even if the number of channels do not match. However, if converting to a lower number of channels, some settings may be marked as invalid with a visual indicator and notification dialog if the upper channels were used.
9. New Frame/Field Support.
Data parsing can now use framing information to display decoded data as framed fields or simple unframed fields. Prior versions displayed simple fields for all decoded data except for I2C configurations.
10. New Data Parsers.
DigiView's Internal data parsers use new algorithms for more efficiency and flexability with custom plugins. Additional configuration features allow more customization without needing a custom plugin.
Plugins provide a complete mechanism for customization of the captured data. While operating in the new "Auto Run" mode, plugins also have the ability to halt the analyzer, determine which captures to preserve and which captures to discard.
- Supports user developed extensions.
- Results can be searched, auto-searched, exported, printed (like any built-in signal).
- Can control Frame and Field boundaries, colors and contents.
- Can use the built-in parsers as pre-parsers or work at the raw capture data level.
- Can halt auto-runs, force saving of capture files and prevent captures from being saved (unless forced by other plugins or auto-searches).
- Developers Kit available with multiple working examples
2. New Auto Searches.
Auto Searches expand the normal search to a linked list of positions in the captured data that meet the search criteria. Click on any line of the resulting list to scroll the matching data into view. AutoSearches also have the ability to halt the analyzer, determine which captures to preserve and which captures to discard based on the search result.
- Automatically runs selected searches after each capture.
- User settings allow for halting, saving or skip-saving the capture based on match counts.
- Presents a list of matches and the count.
- Clicking on a search match takes you to it.
3. New Capture History.
Starting with Version 7.0, all captures can be stored automatically to a sequential history. Browsing through the history or jumping to a location in history can be performed with a single click. Specific captures can be "book marked" for easy location. Configuration, bookmarks, history storage and disk space usage are project based so each project can retain its captured files and settings.
- Automatically saves each capture (from Run, Auto-Run or Preview) until stopped by the user, disk limits, count limits, an auto-search or a plugin.
- User options set the number of captures to maintain, the amount of disk space to use or preserve and the behavour when limits are reached (halt or round-robin over-write).
- Capture History browse button loads the selected capture and invokes all current searches and draw routines.
4. New History Search.
After saving multiple captures to a sequential history, additional searches can be performed automatically to the entire history by using the Capture History search. This search is similiar to our Auto Search Windows (which can halt the analyzer on a match count), but it differs by searching already captured data files and halts the search when the results match. Just like our Auto Searches, any normal search criteria can be selected.
- Automatically searches a history of capture files.
- User settings allow for halting the search based on match counts.
- Searching can be performed forward or backward and restarted from the current history position.
5. New Auto Run Mode.
Previously, DigiView software featured a continuous run mode for quick acquistion without the need to wait until a trigger condition occurred. Version 7.0 has added a new run mode that waits until a full trigger based acquisition is completed before automatically starting another acquistion. Depending on Acquisition settings, Auto Search criteria and Plugin control, each capture is saved to disk while the next capture begins.
- Automatically re-arms and runs after each capture, honoring all buffer, prefill and trigger settings.
- Runs until halted by the user, a plugin, an auto-search or user defined disk limits.
- Can maintain a fixed number of 'most recent' captures, stored in round-robin over-write mode.
6. New Auto-Halt, Save and No-Save Features.
Saving the captured data may not be desirable during an overnight or extended Auto Run cycle, unless the data contains the information you are hoping to find. Version 7.0 adds the option of discarding unwanted captures and saving just the ones of interest.
- Auto-run sequences can be halted by a command from a plugin or match criteria in an auto-search.
- Similarly, capture files can be force-saved or save-cancelled by plugin commands or auto-search match criteria.
7. New Adjustable Time Reference.
The center time referrence in the waveform view was located at a fixed position in previous versions but is now adjustable for positioning to any division to the left or right of center. This time reference point is used for "Jump To" and Snap" features and the sample time indicator at the top of each waveform.
- Sample Time Reference for each waveform view can be relocated by dragging with a mouse.
- Each waveform view remembers the time reference location independently.
8. New Analyzer File Conversions (Model Convert).
Files previously configured for a specific DigiView Analyzer or Analyzer capture mode can be opened and used with a different analyzer model. The conversion is performed automatically when the file is opened if permission is granted from the user. A file can be manually converted at any time from the file menu. All settings (Signals, Trigger Configurations, Searches) will be converted even if the number of channels do not match. However, if converting to a lower number of channels, some settings may be marked as invalid with a visual indicator and notification dialog if the upper channels were used.
- Captures performed with one DigiView model can be converted to a different DigiView model.
- Conversion offered if the loaded file does not match the attached hardware.
- Can be invoked from the File menu at any time.
9. New Frame/Field Support.
Data parsing can now use framing information to display decoded data as framed fields or simple unframed fields. Prior versions displayed simple fields for all decoded data except for I2C configurations.
- We now provide the concept of Frames and Fields in all windows. Data can be presented as Frames(packets) of Fields of data.
- All snap functions can snap to Frames (with a shift-override) or default to field boundaries.
- Searches have been updated to support searching for sequences of Fields in sequencies of Frames.
- List windows can toggle between showing 1 field per line or 1 Frame per line.
10. New Data Parsers.
DigiView's Internal data parsers use new algorithms for more efficiency and flexability with custom plugins. Additional configuration features allow more customization without needing a custom plugin.
- All built-in parsers have been completely re-written to take advantage of the new plugin framework and Frame/Field formatting.
- Added built-in parser for SPI (no longer have to use 2 - SYNC parsers to read both channels).

Any missing directories are re-created on program start up. Missing example files are NOT re-created unless the entire directory is missing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Corrected DV1-100 Trigger Indicator on
captures of fast or busy signals.
Model DV1-100 - The Trigger indicator has been corrected to accurately indicate the position of the trigger event in the captured data regardless of the speed of the data. An error introduced in version 6.0 caused the trigger position to display in the middle of the data when capturing very fast or "busy" signals.
2. Corrected DV1-100 Prefill Option behavior.
Model DV1-100 - Changed the hardware behavior when the prefill option is changed. The hardware will be reset whenever this option is changed to clear the internal buffer and reconfigure the prefill setting in the hardware. Previously, this option did not take effect until the hardware was manually reset or untill after the next automatic transfer.
3. Expanded Search Window Display capability.
The Search Window can now display an unlimited number of defined searches. Previous versions limited the display to 25 search definitions.

1. Corrected Post Trigger Buffer
Configuration.
For Models DV3400 and DV3100, version 6.0 introduced an error that prevented an "early" trigger by enforcing the post trigger buffer setting before acting on a trigger condition. This version corrects the error and allows a trigger condition to be detected before the buffer prefill reaches the post-trigger buffer setting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Corrected Critical DV3400 Bug.
Version 6.0 introduced a data decompression error for DV3400 configurations. Version 6.0.2 corrects the decompression algorithms to acurately display the captured data.
2. Changed the Active Signal / Active Marker highlight.
Version 6.0.2 changes the highlight of the Active Signal to only appear while dragging or snapping the Active Marker. The additional highlight lines above and below the waveform were a distraction while analyzing the data.

1. Corrected DV1-100 Trigger Indicator
Display.
Version 6.0 did not indicate "Post Filling" after the hardware trigger condition matched. The hardware properly triggered and the data automatcally transferred properly. This is merely a minor cosmetic correction that only affected DV1-100 users.
2. Corrected Non-English Installations.
Version 6.0 would only install our new drivers on English Language Operating Systems. This installation corrects our driver installation utility to install on any language platform.

1. Conditional Installation for 32bit and
64bit Drivers.
New, digitally signed 64 bit and 32 bit drivers are included in this installation with full support for VISTA and Win7 operating systems. The proper 32 bit or 64 bit drivers will be registered with Windows during installation, making driver installation and updates an easy process. If for some reason the drivers are required later, they can be found in the "Driver" subfolder of the installation directory.
2. Corrections:
a. Save File Dialog: Corrected - Selecting a file before manually entering a new file name caused the selected name to be used.
b. Signal Names & Exporting: Corrected - By default, the signal name was used as the export file name. If invalid file name characters were used as the signal name, an error could occur which prevents changing the name during exporting. Invalid file name characters will be filtered when editing a signal's name. Existing signal names will be corrected when opening an existing file.
NOTICE: On existing files, after the signal name is corrected, SEARCHES that used a corrected signal should be checked to verify proper signal selection. All other settings (triggers, tables, lists, etc) are not affected by this correction.
c. XP only - Corrected the "Link Waveforms" function. On XP systems, the waveforms could be unlinked but could not be re-linked.
d. XP only - Corrected the Hardware Buffer indicator. On XP systems, the percentage indicator reflected the correct buffer usage, but the bar indicator only displayed its position mark and not the fill color.

1. Driver Installation
Enhancement.
a. Enhancement to driver installation on Windows 2000 to assist Windows in finding the proper files. If for some reason the drivers are required later, they can be found in the installation directory.
b. Minor bug correction regarding USB initlialization of the DV3100.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. New Measurement feature for all Signal
definitions.
Each Signal definition will calculate measurements according to the signal type. For example, any Asynchronous signal will calculate number of characters while the Boolean signal will calculate the number of transitions. The measurements are displayed in the Status Window for each adjacent pair of markers and the Active-marker / Trigger-marker pair. Some Signal types will display more than 1 measurement
2. New Mouse Wheel Support in All Windows.
The mouse wheel can be used for fast zooming in each waveform view. In all other windows, the mouse wheel can be used to scroll vertically. The mouse wheel will affect the currently focused window.
3. New Multiple Monitor Support.
All Digiview windows will be restored to the previous used monitor and the position on that monitor. If a monitor is no longer available, the location will default to the primary monitor (the main Operating System monitor).
4. New "Zoom & Scroll" History Buffer.
Every scroll or zoom action will be stored in a history buffer, similiar to a browser's history. This feature is handy if you accidentally marque and want to return to the previous zoom or if you want to quickly browse back and forth between multiple points of interest.
5. New Scroll feature for the Status Window.
The status window now contains more information, including the new measurements feature, so scrolling was added to view this information while the status window is docked or otherwise limited in size.
6. New Display options for State Signals.
State signals can now be viewed as Hex, Decimal or Octal values.
7. New Button Bar on Waveform Views.
The old "floating" button bars have been replaced with a simpler button grouping above each waveform view. This will recover the wasted horizontal area of the main window and reduce the possibility of unintentionally using the wrong button group.
8. New Scroll Bar position on Waveform Views.
By popular request, we have repositioned the scroll bars to be consistent for both waveform views. The scroll bar now resides above the "Quick Flags" of each waveform view whether in single or split mode. The new button bar is positioned beside the new scroll bar location.
9. New Live Status information.
All information relating to a marker's movement will be updated in real time as the marker is being repositioned. This feature can be used for fast analysis of timing and other measurements without releasing the marker or dropping it on a waveform. The Status window will continuously update while the marker is in motion.
10. New Direct Signal Export.
The export functions have been modified so that any signal can be exported directly from the main menu, even if a Table or List window has not been created for that signal.
11. Color Theme Update.
Color Themes have been slightly modified for greater marker color choice and color maching. Now, every marker color set is usable with any color theme. The slight color and usage modifications will increase each theme's usability.

1. Corrected - Asynchronous signals were not
inverting the parity decode when using the "Invert Signal Value" option in the
Signal definition editor.
2. Corrected - If a new List Window was created before any data was captured, the software could possibly hang.
3. Corrected - If a file was saved with a new name while the software was closing, the old file name was stored as the "last opened file" instead of the new file name.
4. Corrected - If a window was maximized when saved or closed, the window would be restored to the proper size, but not in the maximized state. The software will now remember the both the maximized and the "normal" window size and position.
5. Removed - Saving and loading of "Template Files" has been removed. A better method of creating a new file with the same configurations as another file is to open the desired file and use the "Save As" function to save the file with a new name. All window and trigger settings are dependant upon the signals defined. Since the Template method removed all signals, it had no benefit over using the "New File" method.

We have 2 versions of the installer; the Current
Release and a Legacy Release. The CURRENT RELEASE supports 32 and 64 bit
versions of XP, Vista and Win7. The Legacy release supports Win 98se, Win Me
and Win 2K. It is available from our web site but is no longer updated or
supported.
Our DigiView software and drivers are Authenticode signed. If Windows reports that the publisher is unknown or that the software is not signed, then the files are corrupt, infected or otherwise modified. Cancel the installation, delete the file and download an authentic copy from our web site: http://www.tech-tools.com. The Authenticode signature is timestamped to ensure the signature remains valid even if our Certificate eventually expires. In other words, it will not 'time-out.' You will be able to re-install the software and drivers, even if we go out of business or fail to renew our certificate.
Run the application installer BEFORE plugging in the hardware. It installs the application software and pre-installs the drivers. You can accept the defaults or modify to suite your needs. Depending on your Windows version and system settings, Windows might ask your permission to install the application and again to install the drivers.
When the installation is complete, plug in the DigiView. Current versions of Windows will see the hardware and will find the pre-installed drivers automatically. Other versions will present a Add New Hardware Wizard.
Answer as follows for the smoothest installation:
Our DigiView software and drivers are Authenticode signed. If Windows reports that the publisher is unknown or that the software is not signed, then the files are corrupt, infected or otherwise modified. Cancel the installation, delete the file and download an authentic copy from our web site: http://www.tech-tools.com. The Authenticode signature is timestamped to ensure the signature remains valid even if our Certificate eventually expires. In other words, it will not 'time-out.' You will be able to re-install the software and drivers, even if we go out of business or fail to renew our certificate.

Power:
- DV1-100, DV3100, DV3200: Plug DigiView directly into a USB port on your PC or into a POWERED HUB (one with its own power supply) . You can not use a bus-powered hub; it does not have enough power to operate DigiView.
- DV3400: Powered by an external power supply, so USB power is of no concern.
- DV1-100: USB 1.1, but compatible with USB 2.0.
- DV3100, DV3200, DV3400: You will experience better performance on a 2.0 port, but a 1.1 port is sufficient.
User Interface: Windows GUI
