What's New in Version 8.5

Probe Auto-colouring

Fixed probes on the schematic change colour to reflect the colour of the graph curves they create. This eases associating probes with plotted curves.

If the curve is highlighted in the graph window, the colour in the schematic will also reflect the highlighting.

Script Language: foreach and foreachdiv Statements

foreach iterates through all the elements in a vector. More convenient than a for loop.

foreachdiv iterates through the divisions in a multi-division vector. A convenient way to analyse data from multi-step analyses

Parameter Editing Dialog Creator

The dialog creation spreadsheet is now incorporated within the symbol editor. The tool will also allow you to preview the dialog before applying it to your subcomponent.

Since an external program is no longer needed and there is no copying/pasting necessary, the ease and speed of developing a dialog has been greatly increased.

Triggered O-Scope Plotting Function

This function will overlay multiple segments of a curve to produce a waveform similar to an oscilloscope trace. This will allow easy comparisons between sections of periodic signals.
