17. DX Version History¶

17.1. 2024.39¶

Scopelimit Ratios and Frequencies:

Fixed an issue where the full table of scopelimit ratios, frequencies, and limits for a given block of data could not be read from a bcx file in version 2022.33.6671. Fixed ARD Mode Frequency field for CSV output to fix formatting bug. Support Ticket #102752

PWMIP.dll Version Confirmation:

We now append a -${VERSION} to the PWMIP.dll name to confirm the version. The version should match the version of DS/DX for which it was built. Support Ticket #102800

Absolute Time Setting for Tracking Plots:

Fixed an issue where applying the “Absolute Time” setting to a time-based tracking plot also incorrectly applied it to a speed-based tracking plot when plot settings were shared. Support Ticket #102847

DATX File Absolute Time:

Fixed an issue where DX did not read absolute time correctly from DATX files, displaying the time axis as midnight January 1, 1970, and showing incorrect recorded start and final times in the validation report. Support Ticket #102926

Signal Math in Viewer:

Fixed an issue where signals created and validated using signal math did not appear in the viewer and could not be plotted. Support Ticket #102933

Additional Fields for .mat Files:

Added datapoint fields to .mat files to align with what CSVs have available. Updated DX documentation on the Help page to indicate how to populate these fields. Support Ticket #102934

Build from Limits Unresponsive:

Fixed an issue where the “Build from Limits” function was unresponsive, preventing the creation of signal elements from an existing scopelimit file. Support Tickets #102935 & #102942

Multi Sample Rate DATX+1 Data Set:

Fixed an issue where processing a multi sample rate DATX+1 data set resulted in incorrect record lengths, showing doubled or quadrupled lengths in validation reports, strip chart plots, and calculated frequency ranges. Support Ticket #102938

17.2. 2024.31¶

Corrected DX issue with reading parameter flagged data from Datx files

17.3. 2024.4¶

“Info Format” on Zmod scope limit options now updates properly (#102893)
DX now properly tracks duplicated speed channels after export (#102884)

17.4. 2023.39¶

Playable Plots (Time, Magnitude, Magnitude+Envelope, Waterfall, and Orbit) now fully load when selected or created, instead of being read directly from the file based on current block number. This change fixes several issues related to block numbering consistency, especially in cases where channels have been filtered or have overlap applied to the FFT. In addition, once loaded, playable plots will generally be more responsive. Plots are playable while loading and load from beginning to end. Once a plot type has been loaded for a specific channel, it will not need to be reloaded until the file is reprocessed or DX is closed. Note: In some cases, it is possible to seek faster than the plot loads, which will cause playback to stop at the last loaded block, waiting a moment for the plot to load will continue playback.

Fixed error on damping fit tabulation nomenclature. “Center RPM” now correctly reads “Center” - #102753
Fixed plot creation issue when selecting multiple of the same parameter from different files to overlay on a single plot. All selected channels are now properly added. - #102754
Auto Scaling absolute time now works for overlaid channels containing different time ranges - #102755
Updated wording for appending or overwriting noise definition files for clarity - #102771

17.5. 2022.50¶

Fixed an issue where inputting signal name with Chinese name caused a crash
Fixed an issue present in version 2021.50.6009 where DX was not collecting all of the peaks that were collected in 2020.47.3055 or 2020.47.4980.
Fixed an issue where dragging a signal onto the canvas in viewer and selecting Magnitude plot, the Time and Block Number did not display in the top left corner.
Fixed an issue where the x-axis selection for envelope plots was greyed out and could only be set to linear in the plot options
Fixed an issue where history plots of a time parameter could not be tabulated without causing a crash
Fixed an issue where a speed pulse train signal defined as a parameter in a .rwx or .datx file could not be converted to a signal and plotted.
Fixed an issue where batch export of plots did not include Z scale and threshold on the Campbell.
Fixed an issue where DX crashed with an error message when opening .uff files.
Fixed an issue where a speed pulse train signal defined as a parameter in an .rwx or .datx file could not be converted to a signal and plotted. This capability existed in previous versions and is useful for visualizing alignment of other signals with 1/rev or multi-tooth tach pulses.
Fixed an issue where history plots of a time parameter couldn’t be tabulated from the right-click menu.
Fixed an issue where processing a design with multiple ADRs and creating a tracking plot with both ADRs caused DX to crash. This occurred when dragging speed and signal from one ADR, and then dragging the same signal from another ADR on top.
Fixed an issue where processing a design with multiple ADRs and creating a speed Campbell with both ADRs could impact the result. Dragging speed and signal from one ADR onto the canvas, selecting Campbell, and then dragging the same signal from a different ADR on top caused the plot to generate incorrectly.
Fixed an issue where the noise definition file was not correctly applied to Dewesoft files. Manually selecting noise on a Campbell plot, saving the noise selection to a noise definition file, and reprocessing the file with a filter element containing the noise definition file did not remove the defined noise. This issue was specific to Dewesoft files, as the noise definition file worked correctly with .datx files.
Fixed an issue where DX crashed when plotting an RPM-based Campbell with channels from multiple Dewesoft files that had extra calculated channels.
Fixed an issue where time did not increment correctly when linking the slider between a time plot and a magnitude plot. The time block number and time were offset between the two plots.
Fixed an issue where processing the same signal with multiple block sizes on the same tracking plot resulted in different plots depending on which block size was plotted first.

17.6. 2022.23¶

Fixed issue where low frequencies were not handled correctly for integration and differentiation in 2022.14.6409
