Release 1.2.3.0 (30 August 2013)
--------------------------------
Addede new features:
1) Multi-pulse capture and analysis
- Up to 512 frames
- Easy measurement pulse to pulse comparison tool
- Histogram for distribution viewing
- Licensed Option with 30 day trial
2) Enhanced waveform math functions
3) New X vs Y Plot, viewing in between channels/waveform math operations
4) Pulse width triggering
5) SCPI support for Marker Search
Fixed issues:
1) Trace become weird when pulse is small and timescale is large
2) Marker placement not being at the threshold value % set previously
3) Restore Saved Setup does not remember Run\Pause state
4) Default Preset does not clear selected FDO Table
5) Droop measurement settings not saved/restored in Save Current Setup / Restore Saved Setup
6) Error which require PPA application to abort when placing both markers on function trace
7) Wrong maximum limit for Zoom mode when scale is not in multiples of 1,2, and 5
8) Wrong measurment units for Peak and Average power in CCDF
9) Other fixes
Known issues:
1) PPA soft-keyboard contains corrupted key symbol for the 4 arrow buttons.
2) LXI Lan interface may be broken after performing a direct upgrade from previous CDF based version.
Recommended to do a complete uninstall of the older version before performing the upgrade
3) Sampling rate at certain high time-base settings has been degraded due to firmware design change.
Will revert to the original sampling rate in the next FW release.
