jBEAM changelog

jBEAM continues to evolve over time as new features are implemented in response to customers' requests and specific application requirements. This is why jBEAM includes a changelog to provide users with an overview of the software's history. We will continuously update this changelog to reflect the future development of jBEAM.

New layout

jBEAM GUI
The layout of jBEAM has been revised completely. The color scheme and icons have been redesigned in particular.

Master page for header and footer

Graphic
It is now possible to define master pages for the header and footer of a graphic page. The user can choose between different types and conditions, like: title page, even/odd page, portrait and landscape format. There is also the option to consider the master pages only for printing or the presentation via screen. Additionally, the master page can be located in front (e.g. for watermark) or in the background.

Redesign of Multi file importer (pt. I)

Import/ Export
When importing multiple files, it is now possible to choose a directory for the export by hand. Alternatively, the currently selected directory of the exporter can be used.

Redesign of Multi file importer (pt. II)

Because of this new feature the entire dialog has been adapted. Therefore, the definition of the action inputs is now located on top right, within the tab Automation. The buttons for control are now on the right side, next to Actions.

Definition of unknown units

Channel name and Unit mapping service
For the channel name and unit mapping service the new feature Unit replacement has been added. Analogous to the normal mapping, a mapping file can be selected here.
However, there is no conversion of unknown units, it is now possible to declare unsupported units, which will be replaced by their respective supported unit.

The entries of the mapping file have to match the following scheme:

"old" = "new" or old = new

Image import with preferred resolution

Import
Pixel images can now be reduced to a defined size during the import. The format of the image is maintained during the process. If there is an unknown format, the image will be saved as a lossless png file. The resolution preferences can be selected in the Print/Report tab in the Preferences.

Measure module OPC unified architecture

Measure
Under the menu entry Measure -> Measure Modules there is the new component OPC UA. It is a point of intersection between the data objects and a server.The structure of the server is readout and shown as a node. A specific root node can be selected to use only a part of the whole structure. If the signals are used as input items, their values will be written into channels with every step of the trigger. If signals are used as output items, the output value of the data objects can be written on the server. Depending on the access authorization, restrictions may occur.

Align graphic objects on page

Graphic
There is a new entry in the context menu of graphic elements: Align on page. The command can also be found in the menu under Graph Editor. If more than one element is selected, the objects will be aligned on the graphic page as a group. Their original order will not be changed.

Alignment of values in table

Tables
The alignment of values has been redesigned. The new panel Layout contains icons to select the alignment (e.g. left, right) intuitively. Additionally lines can be hidden and the background color adjusted. A real-time preview is also available.

New filter icons

Explorer window
The filter icons have been redesigned as follows:

opens the filter dialog (also possible, if no filter is active)
activates and deactivates the configured filter
selects all nodes, that match the filter criteria

The icons also have been changed in the table window.

Operations for data item filter

Explorer window
In the filter configurations it is now possible to determine via operations, how the configured filters should be linked together.

Configuration of multiple diagrams

Data explorer
The data explorer now supports the joint configuration of multiple map graphs. First, all relevant diagrams should be marked and Modify should be selected in the context menu (right click). A new dialog opens, where all configuration possibilities can be selected collectively according to the graph type.

Layout definition for axes and diagrams

Preferences
Under the tab Graphic elements it is now possible to define layouts for diagrams and axes. To provide a better overview, the former settings have been incorporated into the new tabs: Graphic objects, Diagrams and Axes.

The tab Diagrams contains - in addition to the former table (line color, width, type, marker, frame color, fill color, and marker type) - the possibility to determine a Default configuration for curve labels, value labels, and data types. Furthermore, there's a seperate tab for Isoline diagrams, which offers a selection of maps and the corresponding options.

Redesign of data analysis (former Quickview with double cursor)

Data explorer
The Data Analysis window can be opened via context menu by either clicking on the relevant data object in the explorer tree or on the graph in the graphic window.The layout of graph and table can now be changed via the icons in the title bar:

1. side by side	4. unified x-data
2. below each other	5. cycle analysis (disabled by default)
3. show/ do not show graph	6. show/ do not show table

Individual file names for reports in Multi file import

Auto-sequences
This component now offers the possibility to specify the file name for the generated report. Therefore, the field Export file kernel was added. The file name (without suffix) can be generated via a formula. The input can be done with the help of the Formula Editor.

The naming of the file proceeds according to the following scheme: <import file kernel>

To maintain the former file name with the following scheme: <orig export file kernel> (<import file kernel>) the new checkbox consider file name of exporter has to be marked.

Drag & drop of channels and histogram

Quick view with double cursor
It is easier to add and delete channels. This can be done by dragging an existing channel from the data explorer and dropping it into the graph area of the quick view or by marking the channel (in the spreadsheet or graphic) and pushing the delete button.

In the spreadsheet area of the quick view the new column type Histogram can be activated (right click on the head of the spreadsheet and select Histogram). The selected curve is drawn in the histogram mode. There are 2 options possible (see figure).

further information in the Release Notes 7.2.2 (PDF)

Sorting files

Multi file import
In addition to the order of the file system, files can also be sorted by the alteration date in the dialog.

Partial curve and split into matrix

Curve calculations
The maximum amount of columns in the result matrix is now configurable. If the adjusted number of columns isn't enough, the remaining values can be written into the last column.

Complex channel part extractor

Curve calculations
This new component Complex channel part extractor enables the extraction of single parts of a complex channel.

Copying diagram parameters

Graphic
It is now possible to copy diagram parameters via context menu and apply them to other graphs. Additionally, the parameters to be copied can be selected.

Hyperlinks

Speechbox / formatted text / plain text
It is possible to integrate several hyperlinks to the text of speechboxes and into formatted text. Single hyperlinks can be embedded into plain text. Therefore, the passage that should become a link has to be selected. That activates the Link button.

HBM QuantumX - improvement of scan functionality

Measure modules
The scan functionality of synchronized devices has been improved. Furthermore, scale properties of the measurement channels are now listed within the channel properties.

In addition, new dialogs have been introduced. Therefore, the time source can be changed (by selecting auto or ntp) and the measure rate domain can be switched from classic (e.g.9.6kHz, 19.2kHz) to decimal mode (e.g. 10kHz, 20kHz).

New graphic object: Line List

Graphic objects
With the new graphic object Line List x and y coordinates of the start and end point of lines can handed over via channels (also manually, if the coordinate doesn't change). The indizes specify, which points should be linked to each other. Therefore, any shape possible can be drawn.

Integer channel with 32 bit range

Bit arithmetic
Additional to the generation of single bit channels, an integer channel with up to 32bit range can be created. This channel results from each configured bit. Bit 1 is the lowest valued bit, 32 bit the highest one.

Move tests

Curve calculations
This new component is used to synchronize complete measurements. For selected producers or data sources, the desired offset shift for the individual tests can be specified in the form of a GroupOfValues.

Manual channel adjustment

Curve calculations
In this new component, individual values of existing channels can be changed manually.

Detailed properties of channel groups

Table window
The properties of channel groups are itemized in a more detailed way. Additional columns for each single channel of a certain group are depicted. Therefore, the information are more individual.

Folders for Project templates and Multimedia

Preferences
Within the Folder tab additional folders for project templates and multimedia files can be indicated. The registered folders will be quoted as favorites in the respective import and export dialogs.

Display time of tooltips

Preferences
Within the Dialogs tab there is the opportunity to adjust the display time of tooltips via time designation. If the option hide tooltip after is disabled, a tooltip will be depicted as long as the mouse cursor remains on a certain text. Therefore, even longer tooltips can be read easily.

Import of changed mapping files

Preferences
This new functionality is located in the Project-File tab. Like the import of changed data files the related request can be replied automatically during opening the project files.

Support of complex numbers

Data source manager
The data source manager has been expanded to support complex channels.

Table window
Additional values, like 'amplitude' and 'phase', are depicted in seperate columns.

Change format of import files

Data source manager
The data source manager now offers the option to change format. It enables to change the currently used importer while changing the imported data. Therefore, a test can be easily replaced by another test in a different file format. The settings of the format remain during the alternation, while importer-specific settings cannot be applied.

Create new mapping files

Channel name and Unit mapping service
Importer that support channel name and unit mapping offer the additional option to create new mapping files (option 2). After appropriate selection a memory dialog opens. The memory path is automatically displayed and the file can be edited as usual or filled with content.

Various importer formats in multi file import

Auto-sequences
Various importers can be indicated simultaneously in the multi file import dialog. By clicking the '+' further importers can be added.
