What's new in Nest-o-patch 2.1.9.4
Apr 1, 2021
- Minor bug fix release. In the ver. 2.1.9.3, Mean and CV for opening times were not shown in the "Single channle kinetics" Tab. Now this is fixed.
- Algorithm of multigaussian fit of the current histogam was refined.
New in Nest-o-patch 1.2 (Oct 9, 2014)
- Functionality:
- Butterworth and Bessel filters were replaces with Gauss and Moving average Minimisation of the sum of simple (unweighted) squares was added as a test for binomial distribution fitting.
- Overlayed sections of a Trace can be exported into a multi-column csv table.
- Seleced portion is saved if a selection exists, complete trace if no selection is defined. Note: this is write-only export; such table cannot be opened by Nest-o-Patch.
- At a large zoom, markers for individual points of a Trace optionally may be shown.
- Options to use comma or semicolon in csv files is added. (Previous behaviour: only semicolon was used; this is default option now).
- Usability:
- In the "Follow baseline" mode, last point can be removed by pressing [Backspace].
- A user can now leave "Follow baseline" mode by pressing [Esc] key.
- Commands added to set vertical scale to the Borders or to the complete data range.
- Keyboard can now be used for navigation along X axis.
- Buttons to visit official site of the program, to add bug report, to start a topic in the forum and to write to the author were added to aboutbox.
- "Undo" and "Redo" buttons added, which allow to undo or repeat last Baseline correction. "Redo" may be useful in 2 situations. (1), after unwanted pressing "undo" button and (2) if you have for some reason reloaded a Trace.
- Additional Levels can now be added to an earlier defined set. In the Amplitude histogram tab, Levels can be moved by a mouse. After Selection, not only borders of a selected fragment, but also its length is reported in the Notebook. Therefore, this instrument may be effectively used for measuring distances along X axis.
- "Bubble" tips are used along with Satusbar for all speedbuttons.
- New icons for many speedbuttons, hopefully more clear and less ugly.
- Statusbar tip created for almost every control in the program.
- Tab order is optimised.
- "Select all" for Trace now is enabled only when Tracesheet is active, which makes possible to use Ctrl-A in the Notebook.
- Bug fixes:
- configuration file is saved not in the folder of the program, but in a user's local AppData directory. Therefore, it is possible to install Nest-o-Patch to a normal "Program files" folder.
- "Wipe selection" deletes all points inside the selected area (earlier last one was left; deletion of a single point was impossible).
- Scrollbar page and arrow work even at very large zoom.
- Program will not irreversibly crash upon decreasing window size to minimum.
- Program will apply corrections to the whole Trace in linear view even when highlight exists.
New in Nest-o-patch 1.1 (May 21, 2014)
- This version is essentially identical to 1.1 Beta 3, with one small bug fix: the program executes correctly kinetic analysis when Selection extends to an end of a Trace and channel state is indefinite at the end.
- One small interface change: number of digits increased at the Amplitude histogram.
New in Nest-o-patch 1.1 Beta 3 (Apr 22, 2014)
- Bug fixes:
- Loading data from Patch-Master, Program will not subtract initial Y-value (Sweep.Zerodata) from all Y-values of a sweep.
- Program will not crash when a user attempts to load non-existing HEKA Trace.
- New versions of both ReadPluse.dll and ReadPMaster.dll needed!
New in Nest-o-patch 1.1 Beta 2 (Apr 16, 2014)
- Support for the data, recorded with most current HEKA software - PatchMaster.
- As a consequence of (1), a trace for loading may be selected (since PatchMaster supports up to 16 traces). If some of the selected series do not contain selected trace, a warning is issues and a trace is loaded, skipping these series.
- Possibility to make time scale relative to a group, series or a sweep. In the latter case a recording is displayed with "paralleled" sweeps (like in PatchMaster or Pulse themselves).
- Possibility to calculate an average current on an interval. If no levels specified, relative to "0", otherwise relative to level "0". If a recording is shown with "parallel" view of groups, series or sweeps, it is calculated for each of them.
