ZigBee / IEEE 802.15.4 application board information

Release 7.8

bullet

Small fixes to Plot Object and Slider controls

bullet

Code changes to prevent lock-up on Japanese OS's.

Serial/TCP Gateway Update

bullet

Removed license checks.

bullet

Removed code which made it incompatible with other TCP applications by using undocumented handshaking between StampPlot and the Gateway.

bullet

Download and replace the current version or run from any location.

Release 7.5 

Bug Fixes:
bulletCorrected time logging when using !LOGD

Additions:

bulletStampPlot may manually grab data being returned from a device.  This is useful to prevent StampPlot
 from processing the data as it normally would. This was added to support configuring the XBee and XBee Pro ZigBee / IEEE 802.15.4 modules from MaxStream. Many other uses may be found.

Instructions added:
bullet!GRAB time  - Grabs returning SERIAL data to be stored in a macro value, GRAB. Time is the number of seconds to wait for incoming data.  If not specified, 2 seconds will be used. Once data is arriving, GRAB will continue to collect data until no further data is received for 100mS. All carriage returns (ASCII 13) and commas will be replaced with spaces in returning data. Note GRAB works only with serial arriving data, not user entered or TCP data currently.
bullet!WAIT time - Pauses execution for the number of seconds given.
bullet!SPLT data - Splits the data based upon the Parse Character (!PCHR ;). Data split may be retrieved using (PARSE0) (PARSE1) etc.
bullet!SRAW data - Sends the string provided without adding a carriage return.
bullet!MOFF ON/OFF - Disables the message window from opening automatically.
!MOFF ON
bulletExample: Placing the XBee into command mode and changing the destination address, such as to a DL of 2.  The general sequence of events for configuring is:
bulletWait 2 seconds for a Guard Time
bulletSend +++ with no carriage return
bulletAfter 2 seconds OK is returned from unit as being in command mode.
bulletSend AT command of ATDL 2
bulletOK is returned
bulletSend AT command of ATCN to exit command mode.
bulletOK is returned from unit
Code for the sequence:
!WAIT 2
!SRAW +++
!GRAB 3
!STAT (GRAB)
!SEND ATDL 2
!GRAB
!STAT (GRAB)
!SEND ATCN
!GRAB
!STAT (GRAB)

Release 7.0 Updates 
* READ *

bullet

This release marks a change in the licensing scheme and registration codes. 
bullet

A single code is being used for all versions.  This code has CHANGED from prior versions to remove
the licensing controls that were causing issues.

bullet

The Home/Educational version has been removed from the installation.

bullet

The FULL VERSION is available for use by home and educational users for FREE!
Registration codes DO NOT need to be entered for home/educational use, though licenses 
may be purchased for $25 to support this product's continued development.

bullet

Non-Educational / non-home use requires purchase of a license.

bullet

If you had a prior license, and would like to new codes, please Email us, preferably with a screen shot
of your "About" window for your current version of StampPlot.  support@selmaware.com 

bullet

This release installs to new directories and shortcuts so as not to overwrite older licensed versions.

bulletNEW MATH!
bullet

StampPlot can now perform multiple expressions in a single line.

bullet

Spaces MUST be used between each value/operation.

bullet

Operations are performed left to right, unless additional brackets are used.

bullet

The old way is optional in case this way causes problems.
OLD:  !STAT [[2,*,5],+,3]
NEW: !STAT [2 * 5 + 3]
for precedence:
!STAT [2 * [5 + 3]]
using other operations:
!STAT [(AINVAL0) * 50 + 3 / 3 SIN Format 0.00]

bullet

If you distribute your macros and use "new math", ensure users upgrade their product.

bullet

A bug with a plot glitch when the maximum points is reached has been fixed.

bullet

The Immediate window will no longer clear automatically.

bullet

The selection of COM port and !PORT instructions has been modified to allow port numbers > 9 (up to 15).

bullet12/29/05:  Released a Primer for Developers
Primer for StampPlot - Developer License (pdf)
This 25 page primer demonstrates building of a simple configuration and other tips and tricks we find useful.  This may be tested by using the non-licensed 10-minute evaluation.

There are currently no updates to Version 3 Release 6 executable files.

If you do not have this latest version, please download it here.

Use the Calculation & Plotting Control for FAST and SIMPLE
manipulation and display of data!

The calculation and plotting controls is available with Release 5 and installs as a choice on the default selection screen.  
This control allows:

bullet

50 formula functions can be developed and referenced to manipulate incoming analog data.  SIN, COS, LN, LOG, ABS, etc.  Also supports IF-Conditionals to run code or developed plots.

bullet

25 Plot configurations can be developed using incoming data, manipulated data, or other StampPlot values.  Drop-down choices allow quick plotting of data in a variety of formats to show relations between data.  Plot with circles, arcs, lines, etc, using different data for different parameters.

bullet

Configurations may be named and saved locally or built as a macro configuration for distribution.

bullet

See the on-line help files for more information!

 

 

Release 6

bulletThe normal version of StampPlot will not run on some international version (Japanese, Hebrew, others) of Windows due to the registration controls causing the program to 'hang'.  This release includes a version licensed for only for home/education that will run on those OS's.
bulletFew fixes here and there.
bulletUsing InstallShield (R) for simpler updates.

Release 5:

bulletAdded Calculation and Plotting Control
bulletModifications to StampPlot in support of new control.

Release 4:

bulletAllows addition of new controls plus other good features. - See on-line help files.

Release 2.1
This version uses a new installer and as such the installation size has grown considerably.  

bullet

Plotting from a standard log file
It is now possible to plot data collected from in data log files, either as raw data, or historical with proper date/times and intervals.

bullet

Saving settings
Some plot parameters (Axis values and labels, real time setting, log scales setting) and all current values of plot control objects can be stored the Windows registry and recalled.  Updated installed macros to allow saving/loading of settings.

bullet

File and toolbars opens various file types
The 'Open Plot' and the Open button on the toolbar allows opening of plot file (*.plt), macros (*.spm), snapshots (*.jpg) and data files (*.txt) using the respective programs for each.

bullet

Limiting file sizes.
The data and message files may be size limited by the number of KBytes to save, the remainder is truncated.

bullet

OAnalog Object Routine
An oAnalog  selection has been added to allow event code to be ran on the arrival of analog data.  This allows manipulation of analog data without having to use the DEFAULT macro routine or DA_ Object names.

bullet

The hot-Key for running the start-up macro has been changed to CTRL-F1.

bullet

The license names have been modified to the following:
StampPlot Pro - Developer's License
For the ability use the macro editor and object builder.
