Releases History ############################################################################# ==============> OBSOLESCENCE WARNING <=============== ############################################################################# NOTE: Windows 2000 will not be supported in future releases. NOTE: Wind River VxWorks 5.5.1 will not be supported in future releases. NOTE: The processor models PowerPC 603 and PowerPC 440 will not be supported in future releases. ============================================================================= ==============> IMPORTANT WARNING FOR VISUAL BASIC USERS <=============== ============================================================================= All new software development should use recent platforms, i.e. VB.NET. Support for VB6 will continue only for the older models. New models/families will only be supported on VB.NET. ============================================================================= ==============> IMPORTANT WARNING FOR LABVIEW USERS <=============== ============================================================================= All new software development should use recent platforms, i.e. LV 8.x. Support for LV 7.1 will continue only for the older models (the LLBs are frozen as of Release 3.2). New models/families will only be supported on LV 8.x. ============================================================================= ==========> IMPORTANT WARNING FOR VXWORKS 6.1 TO VXWORKS 6.6 USERS <========= ============================================================================= There is a bug in the workbench corresponding to the VxWorks 6.1 to VxWorks 6.6 versions. These versions of workbenches ignore static constructors and destructors of all included libraries (e.g AqDrvVxW.a) during the munching phase (the phase during which all constructors and destructors are collected). To fix this problem, go to the properties of the application project and check that the LIBS macro has a correct value (the path of the included library). Then go to the ‘Build Tools’ tab, select the ‘Linker’ build tool and replace the line : $(ADDED_OBJECTS) %Libraries% | tclsh by the following one: $(ADDED_OBJECTS) %Libraries% $(LIBS) | tclsh ============================================================================= 1. Installation: ================ Preliminary notice: Upgrading from an old version on Windows 2000 --------------------------------------------- When upgrading from an old version on Windows 2000, you must uninstall all Agilent Acqiris devices manually prior to running the installer. Agilent Device Class -------------------- Agilent Acqiris Software version 3.2 and later installs Agilent Acqiris instruments under the 'Agilent' device class (Acqir500.inf). They appear in the Windows Device Manager with a grey diamond icon, under the heading 'Agilent' when listed by type. With Acqiris Software versions 2.14 and older, Acqiris instruments were installed under the 'Unknown' device class (Acqirv03.inf and older). They appeared in the Windows Device Manager with a large yellow question mark icon, under the heading 'Other devices' when listed by type. Acqiris Software version 2.15 through 3.1 installed Acqiris instruments under the 'Acqiris' device class (Acqirv04.inf). They appear in the Windows Device Manager with a grey diamond icon, under the heading 'Acqiris' when listed by type. If devices are already installed on a system with a version prior to 3.2, they will continue to appear under the 'Unknown' or 'Acqiris' device class after installing version 3.2 or higher. Only new devices, installed after updating to Agilent Acqiris Software 3.2 or higher, will subsequently appear as 'Agilent' class devices. To have all Agilent Acqiris instruments appear as 'Agilent' class devices, you should first uninstall all Acqiris instruments listed as 'Unknown' or 'Acqiris' class. Uninstalling devices -------------------- Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 In the Device Manager, select the instrument to be uninstalled. Select 'Uninstall' from the 'Action' menu. Once all the instruments to be uninstalled have been uninstalled, select 'Scan for hardware changes' from the 'Action' menu, or reboot the computer. Please note that only present devices are normally visible in the Device Manager. If you are installing Agilent AcqirisSoftware for the first time on your computer, run Setup.exe and follow the instructions carefully. If you are upgrading to a more recent version, it is recommended to uninstall any previous installation before running Setup.exe. You can specify the same Install Folder, and Setup will overwrite the previous installation. If you wish to keep multiple versions on your system, please refer to the User Manual for more information. NOTE: For a first time installation on your computer Agilent recommends that you install the software BEFORE installing the hardware on your system. When upgrading to a new version, you should leave your modules installed and powered during installation. Please contact Agilent support at acqiris_support@agilent.com if you encounter any installation problem. ============================================================================= 2. Environment: =============== Setup will define 2 new environment variables on your system: AcqirisDxRoot = Install Folder (Acqiris Software root) AcqirisDxDir = bin subdirectory of the Install Folder (\bin) AcqirisDxDir will also be added to the PATH. ============================================================================= 3.

Partial readout with different starting sample or segment can be repeated with re-reads (F5 key). Waveform storage in binary format is supported. >>> IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT VERY LONG MEMORY AND AcqirisLive <<< > Upon startup of the application, the available physical memory on the computer is checked. The total data buffer size is then limited to the available memory minus 10% of the total memory. It is also possible to limit the total data buffer size to a fixed value with the cmd line arg -bn (where n is the limit in MBytes, e.g. -b200 will limit the buffer to 200 MBytes). The data buffer is then shared among the active channels. > When the total acquisition memory (sum over all active channels) exceeds the data buffer size limit, readout of the data will be partial. The special operation modes such as Segments Average, Average, Digital Filter and FFT are not supported with partial data readout. > Partial readout is controlled with the Very Long Memory panel (menu Options -> Very Long Memory...). The first segment and the first sample to readout can be specified. Note that if the buffer is large enough for at least 1 full segment, only full segments will be read (i.e. first sample control is ignored). > When saving data to file, you will be prompted for a maximum number of segments per file. AutoStore is also supported for very long memory digitizers. Use the 'AutoStore Very Long Memory...' menu item to start an AutoStore run when the data volume per acquisition exceeds the data buffer limit.
