Il s'agit de
la première version multilingue de xyscan. La première
langue autre que l'anglais est le français. Il n'y a pratiquement
pas de changement de fonctionnalité par rapport à 3.2.2. xyscan
permet maintenant de vérifier les mises à jour. Cette fonctionnalité
est encore en phase expérimentale. Les vérifications ne sont
pas faite automatiquement, mais doivent être déclenchées à partir
du menu Aide->Vérifier les mises à jour.
Only change
compared to 3.2.1 is the addition of a new docking window (Plot Adjustements)
that holds two spin boxes that allow to rotate and
scale (zoom
in/out) the current plot. Rotating is mandatory if you want to scan a
tilted plot. Scaling was added for convinience but typically will not
increase scanning precision. The docking window is not visible by default.
To view use View->Plot Adjustements
.
Starting with this version xyscan does not handle the scan of tilted plots any more. It assumes perfectly aligned plots (i.e., not tilted w.r.t. the vertical or horizontal). Scanning tilted plots required precisely aligned markers (in x and y each) making the scanning of perfectly aligned plots (99% of all cases) more cumbersome. Instead xyscan now allows to rotate a plot before the scan should that be necessary. To do so use the spin box in the Axis panel (next to the log buttons). Use the crosshair to check for horizontal and/or vertical alignment.
Due to this change, setting the markers is now much simpler. Instead of setting the markers exactly on the axis (which was necessary to determine the tilt) all one needs is to define the exact x (y) position for x (y) markers. The other coordinate is not relevant any more. The old square markers were replaced by gray lines.
Other changes:
When all markers
are set and log is pressed the displayed numbers are now updated instantaneously
(before the cursor had to me moved once).
Fixed bug in error scan handling. Error handling method (mean/average/asymmetric)
selected for x was applied to the y errors and vice versa.
The crosshair can now be moved quickly to the current mouse pointer position by double-clicking the left mouse button. This speeds up the settings of the markers and the scanning considerably.
xyscan now allows you to store the scanned points in form of a ROOT macro. To do so the filename has to have the extension .C. For all other extensions (if any) the data will be written as before, that is as a table in plain text format.
Marker can now also be set via keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3, Ctrl+4, for lower, upper x, and lower and upper y, respectively.
Minor changes to the page layout of the printout.
Fixed typo in marker position dialog. Otherwise identical to 3.0.2.
Version 3.01 is the first release of a complete rewrite of xyscan. The previous version (2.09) is not supported any more. While the user graphical user interface changed quite a bit the basic workflow remains the same. Users that worked with xyscan before should have no problem to adapt to the new interface. The main new features are:
