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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features in Revision 4.0.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. New pop-up menu selection from the Wave Form view shows the "Bring-to-Center" state of each marker. Select a marker from this menu to toggle this feature on or off. When active, the "Bring-to-Center" feature will scroll the data to the center of the waveform view when the marker snaps to the next or previous edge.

2. New pop-up menu selections in the Table and Wave Form views to "Hide" or "Show" all signals with a single click.

3. New pop-up Menu in the Status Window to toggle the marker time indicators to "Single Units" as used in other areas of the software or "Expanded Units" which seperates the time into multiple time divisions.

4. The "Capture Date/Time" displayed in the Status Window and Print functions will now display according to local country settings instead of just in the standard U.S. format.

5. The Hardware buffer can now be cleared (reset) with a single click on the buffer's "percentage used" status display.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolved Issues in Revision 4.0.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Corrected - Exporting experienced unexpected delays when initiated from the Export List or Export Table option on the File menu, but performed correctly when initiated directly from a List or Table window's menu. Now all export functions are performed without experiencing any delays.

2. Corrected - Network paths specified in UNC format (\\server\shared) were not allowed from export windows unless specified as a locally mapped drive, but were allowed when saving or opening files. UNC paths are now allowed when exporting.

3. Corrected - On the Synchronous Signal type (i.e. SPI, etc), if the "enable" active state was set to "Low", it was decoded incorrectly until the first transition in the captured data but functioned correctly when set to "High" or "ignore". This version corrects the enable channel decode.

4. Corrected - The Help File would not open when an example file was loaded, but opened properly if any other file was open in the software. Now the help file is always available regardless of the file opened in the software.

5. Corrected - When exiting the software, the "Save Changes" dialog ignored the "Cancel" selection but correctly processed the "Yes" and "No" selections before closing. Now the "Cancel" selection will properly stop the software from exiting.

6. Corrected - When creating a new signal, the editor is automatically opened to verify and change settings. If the "Cancel" button was selected from this editor, the new signal remained until manually deleted. Now the new signal will be deleted automatically when "Cancel" is selected.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features in Revision 4.0.2 (08/08/2007)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Modified Signal Editors to display example data at the same zoom-level and time span as Wave View 1. The results of editing a signal's properties can now be viewed dynamically at any point of interest.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolved Issues in Revision 4.0.2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Corrected Synchronous Signal type parsing to properly "ignore" the assigned enable channel when set to ignore.

2. Corrected Signal editors that did not dynamically update the example data when making changes.

3. Corrected random shutdown delays when exiting the application.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolved Issues in Revision 3.0.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Corrected the "Enable" behavior of Synchronous Signal Types. The Enable channel behaved as a "Hold" if the enable channel toggled inactive and then back to active between clock transitions. When simply changing states between clocks, it behaved as a reset. This was corrected to always behave as a "Reset".

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:

• XP
  1. Search Windows Update? : “No,not at this time” (just saves time)
  2. “Install the software automatically” (the default)
  
  
  
• Win Me
  1. “Specify the location of the driver”
  2. Select “Specify a location:” Then enter the path to the TechTools\drivers directory in the edit box. If you used the defaults during installation, this would be: “C:\Program Files\TechTools\DigiView\drivers”
  
  
  
• Win 98se
  1. “Search for the best driver...”
  2. Select “Specify a location:” Then enter the path to the TechTools\drivers directory in the edit box. If you used the defaults during installation, this would be: “C:\Program Files\TechTools\DigiView\drivers”
  
  
  

Power:

• DV1-100,DV3100: Plug DigiView into a POWERED HUB (one with its own power supply) or directly into a USB port on your PC. 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.

Speed:

• DV1-100: USB 1.1, but compatible with USB 2.0.
• DV3100, DV3400: You will experience better performance on a 2.0 port, but a 1.1 port is sufficient.
