Versions

v1.0

The Java runtime delivered with Edgar has been updated to v6u20
New automatic file naming schemes (Auto by Time, Auto Increment, Eight-3)
New display window with enhanced navigation and zoom controls and support for multiple curves within a single window
Support for instruments with dynamic alignment of the interferometer optics
Housekeeping module to monitor instrument vitals (uses 1-wire technology)
Matlab MAT-file output option (files generated by Edgar can now be directly opened in Matlab without using external tools)
New cross-platform installer (works on Windows, Linux and Mac)
Now uses Jython v2.5.1
New script manager (displays list of running scripts and state information, and allows individual scripts to be stopped)
Ability to pause, resume, and stop an acquisition at any time from a script
Support for V-data model TCG IRIG/GPS unit
Extends the Grams/SPC format by adding Edgar specific parameters to unused portions of the header (blackbody temperatures for each scan, the annotation file name, temperature conversion factors, scan direction flags, hot or cold blackbody indicator flags)

Support for 2:1 oversampling
Support for a 32-bit scan size value (requires an Annotator firmware update)
In addition to IRIG-B timestamps, the Annotator real time clock can now be synchronized with host system time, synchronized with a network time server, or manually set (requires an Annotator firmware update)
In IRIG-B timestamp mode, the Status bar indicates whether or not the Annotator has a lock to the external IRIG-B input (requires an Annotator firmware update)
A new control on the Configuration tab allows turning the instrument White Light on and off
Support for direct connection of a C-MIGITS INS unit
New Find ZPD and Verbose options for the Analyze File tool
The output format for raw igrams (16-bit fixed point, 32-bit fixed point, or 32-bit floating point) is now stored in the ini file and restored at startup
The detector gain for each channel is also now stored in the ini file and restored at startup
The live spectra display is now implemented

The Java runtime delivered with Edgar has been updated to v6u12
Sweep Speed control on the Configuration tab has been changed from discreet radio buttons to a spinner that will allow any speed between 100Hz and 500kHz
Preamp filter settings can now be included on the instrument Status panel and in the annotation spreadsheet
New FTS Controller reset button (on the Configuration tab)
New File Export tool
New Processing tab with support for basic arithmetic operations on files
Optional Aperture and Focus controls on the Acquisition tab
For systems with a Scene Mirror, the ability to set position to any arbitrary angle, in addition to the preset positions

The Java runtime delivered with Edgar has been updated to v6u7
Edgar now supports an External Acquisistion Trigger
Edgar can now read temperature data from an integrated blackbody calibration source over either a direct comm link or a network connection
A new Radiation Calculator tool has been added
The Compute Spectrum tool can now generate calibrated spectra using a two point (cold source, hot source) calibration method
Enhanced support for running Python scripts, including a built-in script editor
Entries in the Edgar log files now contain the elapsed time since program startup
New detachable View Controls widget, and Ganged View Controls display option
New Window layout options (Cascade, Grid, Tile Horizontal, Tile Vertical)
New Analyze File tool
Scroll bars have been added to control panels opened from the right edge of the Edgar window. (This makes it possible to run Edgar on a low resolution screen and still have access to all controls and buttons.)
X-Axis calibration tool

The default live igram display now defaults to the center 512 points
Raw igram files can now be stored in 16-bit fixed point, 32-bit fixed point, or 32-bit floating point formats
The Output Files control section of the Acquisition controls have been modified so that now there is a common path for Channel A, Channel B, and Annotation files
Improved data acquisition interface results in better performance, especially on low end systems (validated on 1GHz Celeron with 1GB memory)
Grams/SPC header viewer and editor (right click on window to show header)
Support for header memo field from Acquisition, Coad, Compute Spectrum, and Radiation Calculator control panels
Fixed bug in day-of-year decoding when IRIG input is from V-data TCG/GPS unit
Anneth support for boot from USB (the embedded system no longer requires an IDE boot drive)

The Java runtime delivered with Edgar has been updated to v6u3
The conditions (open or closed) of the tabbed panels (left, right, bottom) are now stored in the ini file, and restored at startup
The Annotator Flasher utility has been added to the Tools menu
File output control has been modified so that you are warned before overwriting existing files
The most recently used system folder is saved in the ini file and used as the default file output location at startup
An option to turn on or off scaling (based on the detector gain setting) of raw 16-bit data files has been added

Problems with dropped packets in Ethernet acquisition mode have been fixed
New Annotation, Detectors, Logging, and Peak Tracker sections have been added to the Preferences editor
A Peak Tracker panel has been added for generating a bar graph of live detector peak-to-peak signal levels
An option for streaming the annotation data to a spreadsheet has been added
Several new features have been added to the Status panel
Support for all (8) preamp gain settings for the new preamp/ADC module has been added

The Preferences editor (under the Tools menu) has been updated so that most of the important ini settings can be set directly from Edgar without having to use a text editor to edit edgar.ini
The display colors for Channel A and Channel B can now be set in the ini file using the Preferences editor
A startup memory leak that caused frequent crashes on some systems has been fixed
The live igram display has been fixed so that it now works with only 1 detector present
Collect to disk has also been fixed so that it works with only 1 detector present
Collect to disk has also been changed so that it is now based on number of scans instead of number of seconds

Basic data acquisiton features for direct fiber optic input frame grabber (Arvoo PCI-FI) and Ethernet interface
No calibration tools
Limited processing tools
