Collection Software and Changes
7.626
March 26, 2025 - Pushed out new version of main along with fr, hg and di. New commands FT and FB information can be found here. The FR shows less information during the scan, but finishes much quicker. DI has been fixed to rectify the issue where it doesn't always post updates in the bfile during its scan.
April 7, 2025 - (currently on test branch only)
- Main.asc
- The lamp warm up wait now checks the lamp's intensity every 10s and if SL is <0.1% or HG<2% stable then quits waiting
- Increased the timeout for Brewer prompting to avoid frequent popups during motor zeroings.
- sl.rtn - Fixed Failed/Aborted messaging.
- hp/hg.rtn
- Minor improvements for stability and speed.
- Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if micrometer is way off, neither HP nor HG have to finish even one scan forward.
- Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if the micrometer is estimated to be more than 3 steps off, the scan backwards is skipped. Volodya: Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if micrometer is way off, neither HP nor HG have to finish even one scan forward. Volodya: Time-saving feature during recovery. Eliminated the unnecessary back and forth by calstep steps if HG needs to repeat.
- Now, if the micrometer is estimated to be more than 3 steps off, the scan backwards is skipped.
- mm.rtn - Added a few more macros
- ap.rtn - Trying using channel 8 (rate meter) for HG current for MB. Volodya: Replaced reporting of HV in MB with lamp on with that of lamps off due to it being affected by fluctuations in +15V.
- fr.rtn - Turned out it was much more difficult to calculate the number of steps between the current position and the LED in the SB. Fixed now.
- Typing ^ in the main will break the program (This is mostly put in originally when a lot of keyboards didn't have scroll lock anymore and before VS found out most laptop lets you do fn+k for scroll lock )
- When enabling AZ in IC, it won't error out with can't find “PD”
- skc.rtn
- had all the other instruments removed from the list to ignore az is turned off.
- It will now check for following schedules, and will ignore if az is turned off
- idle
- inside
- lamps
