Release Notes

4.0.2

CAPA

This release is not backwards compatible and requires a firmware with version 4.4. Please use the Firmware Updater to update the firmware.

  • New features

    • Potentiostat tool
    • Cell regulation toggle button on the Initialize System pop-up
    • Cell regulation toggle button on the Application Exit pop-up
    • Head nose wash workflow
    • Accessible area in the navigation tool
    • Toggle camera button in the navigation tool
    • Preparation workflows added: Prepare Printing Chamber and Prepare Probe
    • Bottom (green ellipse) and top camera (blue ellipse) are presented in the navigation tool

  • Bug fixes

    • Visible range in the oscillator is always shown

  • Other

    • In the left port, only probe plate and well plates are available for loading. In the right port, only calibration plate and printing chambers are available for loading.
    • Error handling is improved in the Calibrate XY (Stage) and Calibrate XY (Head) workflow
    • In the Calibrate XY (Stage) workflow, after moving to the reference position, the probe will be set to content height
    • Movements while aligning laser are limited from 1 to 1000 micrometers
    • After the mapping is done, the probe is retracted by safety retract distance
    • After automatically maximising the signals (in the Prepare System workflow) the signals will be presented in different colours
    • Dragging is disabled in some parts of the the Calibrate Pixel Size workflow
    • No-go area is activated when the Mapping workflow starts
    • For running CAPA 4.0, .NET 5 must be installed (if not already present)
    • The probe is fully retracted when the wash is aborted (in the Head Nose Wash workflow)
    • If the wash tool is closed while a wash procedure is in progress, the wash procedure will be aborted (it will not run in the background)
    • New parameters are added (in the 3D Printing, 3D Calibration, Mapping workflows) and the parameters are split in: parameters and advanced parameters
    • The items from the postgres database will be transfered to a new XML database and deleted

3.3.1

CAPA

This release is not backwards compatible and requires a firmware with version 4.0. Please use the Firmware Updater to update the firmware.

  • New features

    • A warning is presented in case a specified number of days have passed since the last rail lubrication
    • An option to only drop the probe is available

  • Bug fixes

    • In the Calibrate pixel size workflow, the magnification cannot be set manually to zero
    • The Calibrate pixel size workflow cannot be completed if а lens is not selected
    • The plate editor can only create plates with features on them that are in the full range of the probe
    • In case the default plates are not present, the first available plates will be presented as default ones
    • During the Stage Calibration (XY) (fine) workflow, the offset is inverted (made in the correct direction)
    • Better error messaging is presented when the system is trying to move out of scope
    • Possible deadlocks during start-up and shutdown are removed
    • The zoom function does not affect the calculations during the Calibrate pixel size workflow

  • Other

    • The description of the status during the printing is improved
    • Extended error handling while gripping or dropping a probe
    • In the Prepare System workflow, the configuration of the probe cannot be completed if local specifications about the probe are not downloaded, or if local ones are not selected
    • Bigger cursors on the video feed have been added
    • In case the Bot fails to initialize, a dialog box enabling you to close the app will appear

3.2.0

CAPA

This release is not backwards compatible and requires a firmware with version 4.0. Please use the Firmware Updater to update the firmware.

  • Removed features

    • Conversion options for deflection
    • Calibration offset has been replaced with internal probe offset
    • Relative positioning in navigation tool

  • Bug fixes

    • Activate result history list button initially
    • Correctly show print file preview
    • RecordLogFiles option in 3DP workflows targets all log files, not just deflection log
    • Tell user to go to a well instead of a sample in Go to Well action in Prepare System workflow
    • Shutdown components that failed their initialization and free their resources
    • This resolves the issue which caused CAPA to hang during a shutdown
    • Always show correct probe plates in Calibrate Z (Height) workflow
