==========================================
DigiView DV1-100, DV3400
Software Version 4.0.3

Revision Date: 02/01/2008

B. Resolved Issues
C. Previous release information
D. Installing USB Drivers


==========================================
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 4.0.1
==========================================


1. Corrected the position of the Trigger marker when using files created with the "New" function.

2. Corrected a non-fatal error when "locking" the console or minimizing a remote desktop.

3. Corrected the behavior of "not equal" search matches in all Serial and State Signals.

4. Corrected search matches when specifying a sequence of multiple values in a single search term that included duplicate values.


==========================================
Resolved Issues in Revision 3.0.4
==========================================


1. Corrected the CLOCK edge sampling on Synchronous Serial signal definitions when using an Enable channel.


==========================================
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".

==========================================
Resolved Issues in Revision 3.0.2
==========================================


1. Corrected "Expanded" bit values of Bus and Analog signals.

==========================================
Installing the USB Drivers
==========================================


DigiView's USB drivers will be installed with the application software so that the operating system can automatically detect and load all required files. If DigiView has been connected to the USB port BEFORE installing our software, then you will need to follow the directions below or reboot your machine.

Windows handles installing the USB drivers the first time you connect the DigiView to your system.

- DV1-100: 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: Plug DigiView into any USB port. You will experience better performance on a 2.0 port, but a 1.1 port is sufficient.

- When the Windows ‘New Hardware Wizard’ starts, select ‘NEXT’ until it prompts you for the driver location.

- If you are installing from CDROM, select the ‘SEARCH CDROM’ option. Otherwise, select the ‘search specific path’ option and enter the path to the install directory noted above (default: c:\program files\ techtools\digiview).

- Click NEXT and Windows will install the drivers.
