ChangeLog

### 2.3.1

2017-01-12  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* module/Cryostat: "R-T insert with a heater" deleted from cryostat insert menu.

* module/Cryostat, ppsel/res: "Insert with a heater and a sample puck" is added in the list of inserts in cryostat module. This is the default insert type when "linear" or "stepped ramp under magnetic field" is selected from resistivity module.

2016-10-22  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* lib/Plot2D: Log X, log y, and grid control button have been added to the Plot2D widget. The icons of these buttons are located in lib folder along with the Plot2D class definition file.

### 2.3.0

2016-10-01  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* res.py (acquire_RH): Sweeping of H is divided into 4 phases. The end of each phase is checked against H >= or <= of its terminal value. This allows the loop to come out, even if both H_max and H_step values are set to zero.

2016-09-07 Gitansh Kataria <gitansh95@gmail.com>

* mgps: Range names changed to generic RANGE_1

* MGPS_Constants: Range names changed to generic RANGE_1

* app_mgps: Range names changed to generic RANGE_1, and Display now shows 6A range instead of 2A

2016-09-06  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* module/Cryostat: A new module, named Cryostat, is added. It deals with cryostat and insert. Current supported models are:

	Cryostats:

		 i) Double walled steel
		ii) Quartz with electro-magnet

	Inserts:

		  i) R-T
		 ii) X-T
		iii) R-T high resistance
		 iv) R-T with heater

* module/xtcon: It uses cryostat module as a resource for applying temperature sensor map for different inserts. For example, for R-T insert with heater, the sample temperature and heater temperature are identical.

* ppsel/res, ppsel/hires, ppsel/sus: While preparing for a run, these modules manipulate cryostat settings based run mode.

2016-09-03  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* module/mgps/MGPS_Method: Field run_mode is added to MGPS method class.

* ppsel/res: MGPS support is added to resistivity module. Two new run modes -- (i) R-T (linear ramp) with H, and (ii) R-H vs T (stepped ramp) -- have been added.

* ppsel/res/(res, app_res): GUI_RH_SettingsPanel and GUI_RH_SettingsDialog added. The dialog can be opened from 'R-H settings' menu item.

### 2.2.0

2016-05-04  Krishnendu Chatterjee  <krishnendu.chatterjee@gmail.com>

* app/Preferences: Get preferences first read from system preferences, then override from user preferences.

* app/Preferences: Set preferences write both to user and system preferences. However, if the user does not have admin right, changes in system preferences are discarded.

* apps/AppGlobalSettings: All entries are made active. is_admin() function is no longer in use.

** cm_range settings in sourceParameters and meterParameters are synchronized.
** Driver callback to device thread now waits for scheduled task to complete. This is important to perculate device data to different threads.
** I-V loop is improved. It now uses Vsrc (instead of Vsample) and current to loop over entire I-V range.
** output_off function is improved. Now it suitably selects between voltage (high resistance load) or current (low resistance load) source to switch off excitation.

** Susceptibility module structure has been unified with res2 and res4.

** A separate class named XLIA_Driver has been implemented in xlia module.

** Export callback implemented in AppAnalyzer module. It save the data in csv format.

** In susceptibility measurement, chi is normalized with respect to reference amplitude as well as reference frequency. This is required because secondary pickup of the susceptometer is linearly dependant on both drive amplitude and frequency.

** While plotting X-F, the user has a choice to perform either uniform stepping or non-uniform stepping. In the former, the stepping size is fixed, while in the latter the stepping size is expressed as a percentage of the current frequency. Thus while sweeping over a large range, non-uniform stepping is more useful.

** Qrius has some entry widgets that change background color while typing. These are particularly important when communicating to a hardware. For example, the temperature setpoint widget becomes white while typing and becomes yellow after the entered value is successfully set.

Earlier this was done explicitely in the callback of each widget. This increases the length of the code, and makes it untidy. Three classes, viz. XEntry, XFloatEntry, and XIntegerEntry, have been implemented to incorporate this feature at the widget level.

Here, the widget changes its background color to 'peach puff' (light red) on each callback, which is initiated if the user has typed in a new value or by pressing 'Enter'.

In the callback routine, the widget value is reset to actual (e.g. the value as returned by the hardware), which also sets its background color to 'yellow'.

Currently only 'tcon' module is using this widget. All other modules need to use this.

** A new module, named XDict, has been added. This is used to store/retrieve run data using python's dictionary object. The dictionary format has been updated to incorporate (data, unit) as a tuple against a single key. Earlier they are stored using two seperate keys. However, the old runs can still be oened using a compatibility scheme implemented in XDict.

** AppAnalyzer has been re-written using XDict and Plot2D class.

** Widget icons have been made uniform throughout the program. Now they are controlled from a single line in main.py using tkFont module.

** A number of unwanted modules have been deleted, i.e. fileio, fileie, plotxy, tlog.

** Module res2 checked and heavily re-written using object oriented approach.

** Plot2D module added for generic plotting. This module supports zoom and pan while being updated in real time acquisition.

** Module plotrt, plotxt, and plote have been removed. Plot2D is being used in all places, except analyzer, which still uses plotxy.

** Module res4, tcon, and sus have been updated to incorporate Plot2D

** The temperature recording loop in 'tcon' module has been updated as per with acquisition loop in 'res4' module.

In the current implementation, the real time temperature data is logged in a tab seperated file, named 'last_run.log'. This file is created inside USR_DATA_FOLDER/htr directory, where USR_DATA_FOLDER is chosen by the user using 'Global Settings' menu. This file is over-written every time a new run is started. The sole purpose of this file is to provide a way to retrieve the data in case of an unwanted termination of a run, e.g. due to power failure.

On successful completion of a run, the entire data is saved using Python's dictionary format in a time stamped file inside USR_DATA_FOLDER/htr directory.

** Res4 modules now uses Preferences to store log and data files.

** Only the latest log file is stored with name 'last_run.log'. The complete data is stored in dictionary files at the end of the run. In case, the run terminates abruptly, the lastest data is atleast available for recovery.

** The data file name is formatted as YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.xprt or xpiv depedning on the run mode.

** TCON communication speed changed to 9600 and parity set to none.

** Three new function, namely readHeaterTemperature, read_CJ_Temperature, and readSampleTemperature, have been implemented. They read temperature directly from the hardware. This is a consequence of Pt100 and TC calibration, where all calculations need to be done on firmware, and the final results are transferred to the computer.

** Time axis in temperature plot was buggy. Fixed.

** bCheckTimeout function in xlia.py has been renamed to comm_timedout. This is less ambiguous from the point of view of boolean return type. (bCheckTimeout() == True) is ambiguous, while (comm_timedout() == True) means the communication has timed out.

	-- It skips first six lines of the ascii log file in order to read the header.
	-- It returns the filename of the newly created xprt file, which is necessary while importing the file in open menu.

** Voltmeter ranges in res4.py and app_res4.py have been updated. Currently three ranges, viz. 100mV, 1V, and 10V, have been made visible to the user.

** File analyzer.py has been updated to directly display imported runs (previously import used to create xprt file in the background).

** It is worth mentioning that most of the modified lines in 'svn diff' are due to removal of trailing spaces.
