The revision history describes all changes to the GoLogic™ software for the past year. We provide this information so that our customers know what to expect before updating...

Version 5.09 - February 18, 2008

New features...

• A new "Mictor" editing option was added to the Channel Group tab. The new editor displays a top-down pinout view of the female Mictor connector on your device. Channel groups can be edited by clicking on the Mictor connector pins. This feature makes our Mictor adapter cables even easier to use.

Bug repairs...

• The TriggerForm list box was updated incorrectly when serial bus sampling modes were active. For example, selecting the I2C TriggerForm in the list would display the correct TriggerForm but the list box was itself blank.

New features...

• A new editing option was added to the Channel Group tab. Channel groups can now be edited using the older "pod" view or the new "spreadsheet" mode. Both display options accomplish the same task, but each edit mode has certain advantages.
• Old 4.3x trace data files can now be imported directly to the "Reference" data area using the "File > Import > TRC file" menu command.
• A new step was added to the ScopeLink wizard so that scopes can trigger on either their AUX/EXT input or any normal scope channel. This allows the scopes lacking an AUX/EXT input (or have a malfunctioning AUX/EXT input) to work properly with ScopeLink.
• The threshold dialog box was improved.

Bug repairs...

• The WaveForm window marker snap feature was disabled when using Repeat Capture mode.
• Improved behavior when the GoLogic is disconnected while the software is open.

Version 5.07 - December 13, 2007

New features...

• A "digitally signed" 32-bit GoLogic device driver was released. Except for the digital signature, this driver is identical to the "2.1" version which you probably use now. Therefore, you don't need to update to this new driver unless you prefer using signed drivers.
• A "digitally signed" 64-bit GoLogic device driver was added to support the XP x64 and Vista x64 platforms.
• Generic "bitstream" serial bus support was added.
A new "bitstream timing" sample mode is now available, a new "bitstream conversion" option is available in the WaveForm window, a new Bitstream Display Plug-In was created, and special bitstream SearchForms and FilterForms were added.
• The personal "My GoLogic" folder can now be renamed using the "Options > System Options" menu command.

Bug repairs...

• Corrected an error when the "Series" TriggerForm ended in a pattern which was all "don't cares".
• The trigger sample is now placed at the end of the trigger-sequence when the "Complex" TriggerForm is used. The software search algorithm which occurs after download placed the trigger at the start of complex trigger-sequences and caused confusion in some cases. In contrast, the SearchForm still scrolls to the start sample of the search-
sequence.
• Corrected an error in the SearchForms when a counter is used.
• Changing a serial bus type in the Sampling tab's serial bus editor now automatically changes the channel groups and WaveForm window display.

New features...

• The new serial bus editor located in the Sampling tab makes capturing and displaying serial data much easier. Up to 32 serial buses can be defined and captured together. The editor automatically adds new channels groups and WaveForm window lines for each serial bus.
• Support for Agilent's new 5000, 6000, and 8000 series DSO's was added to ScopeLink.
• Non-printing ASCII characters are now displayed as hexadecimal values.

• Corrected a slight variance in the simple state mode's trigger position between traces.
• Corrected several cosmetic errors in the TriggerForms.
• Re-directing the "My Documents" folder to a network drive caused errors when that drive was missing. Therefore, the "My Documents\My GoLogic\GoLogicSupport" folder was eliminated. The previous project is now stored in a better location for each user account. After installing 5.05, you can manually load the 5.04 or earlier "My Documents\My GoLogic\GoLogicSupport\Previous.prj" project file to restore you last active project. Once 5.05 exits, you can delete the "My GoLogic\GoLogicSupport" if desired.

New features...

• CAN bus support was added.
A new "CAN timing" sample mode is now available, a new "CAN conversion" option is available in the WaveForm window, a new CAN Display Plug-In was created, and special CAN SearchForms and FilterForms were added.
• Saving and loading project files are now faster.
• The "Edit > All thresholds..." menu command was added.

Bug repairs...

• Corrected an error which caused version 5.03 to ignore USB 1.1 host ports.
• Corrected an error in the auto-save feature's filename edit box.

Version 5.02 - July 13, 2007

New features...

• The serial bus display now operates on trace data captured using any variation of transitional timing mode. Previously, I2C data had to be captured using "I2C Timing" mode, SPI had to use "SPI Timing" mode, and so forth. This change allows different buses to be analyzed together in one trace capture. For example, "I2C Timing" mode can be used to trigger on an I2C bus while spare channels also capture an SPI or RS-232 bus. All buses can be displayed at the same time.
• Program behavior was improved when the serial bus display is configured after trace data is captured. It's still best to configure the serial bus display before taking a trace, but the serial display can now be configured after trace is captured.

Version 5.01 - July 2, 2007

New GoLogic software interface replacing version 4.34 and earlier. New features include...

• Support for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista (32-bit platform only; XP-64 and Vista-64 coming soon)
• Separate setup and trace files were replaced by unified and compressed project files
• All user data is now saved to "My Documents\My GoLogic" so separate user accounts work better
• Improved TriggerForms
• Improved drag-n-drop operations in all windows
• Improved Plug-In Manager
• Better Plug-In programming interface: simpler and allows setup dialog boxes
• Serial bus conversion directly in WaveForm window
• Improved setup for I2C, SPI, and RS-232 analysis
• Improved search and filter features including search on I2C, SPI, and RS-232
• On-line HTML help which incorporates video tutorials
• Symbol table setup simplified by loading them into the channel groups
• Support for text "binary mask" symbol files and associating colors with symbols
• ScopeLink wizard configures oscilloscopes for use with the GoLogic
• Channel groups now support 64-bit groups
• Improved color selection for channel groups and trace display
• Simplified menus
• Dual Numeric windows
• Unique setup for each WaveForm and Numeric window
• Improved printer setup
• Improved Software Development Kit. All features the NCI software supports such as I2C and SPI trigger, controlling several GoLogic units, and remote network access are now possible for SDK programmers.
