What's new in Raman Data Search and Storage 2013.09.10
Sep 16, 2013
- Was added a new column with corresponding mineral class for every entry. Also, from the dropbox of the corresponding column green header, user can select a pre-choice Mineral Class for a fast sorting;
- Was fixed the issue for chemical formula format on the crystal structure window.
New in Raman Data Search and Storage 2013.09.01 (Aug 30, 2013)
- Was integrated a 3D crystal structure viewer of every mineral. Using Jmol library (http://jmol.sourceforge.net), with the new release, users can see and play around with the crystal structure of selected mineral entry. Also, for the pro-jmol users, a console tab was implemented;
- Format chemical formula for all entries (empirical formula);
- Was added a samples folder which contain several Raman spectra in different formats;
- Was fixed the issue of the external links of every entry. This was an Java update issue. With this update, now this functionality it works also for other OS's;
- Was added a new button (Clear search), which clear all fields from the main panel. The buttons below Raman spectrum was redesigned;
- Added a menu item (Reverse X-axis) for the main Raman spectra Chart Panel;
- Was fixed the issue of "remove multiple peaks" function from the New Spectrum panel > Analyze tab. When this bug occur (when multiple selection of the peaks, not all!), the "remove" button delete peaks one by one, and not all selected Raman peaks;
- New Help file;
- Other minor fixes, in terms of Dialogs and Messages when specific actions occur.
New in Raman Data Search and Storage 2013.06.01 (Jul 26, 2013)
- New feature called RIA (Relative Intensity Assignment) which is a tool for the assignment of the Raman bands in terms of intensity (e.g. very strong, strong, medium, weak and very weak). This tool is divided in two categories: (i) which works very well with baseline-removed Raman spectra, and (ii) is better for high fluorescence Raman spectra;
- A Quick Start Guide was created which is directly related to the RDSS forum (http://rdrs.uaic.ro/forum/). The Quick Start Guide contains video tutorials for various features that you will find at Raman Data Search and Storage application;
- Was added a manu bar to the New Raman Spectrum window which contains an option panel for the Raman spectrum;
- The panel "DataSheet Peak(s) Assignment" was set to always on top to facilitate the search for the Raman peaks in the main panel;
- New menu items was added: "Forum support" and "Donation".
New in Raman Data Search and Storage 2013.04.01 (Apr 17, 2013)
- The connection timeout after a short time of inactivity was fixed;
- The color of tables was changed for a good readability;
- The image photo for every entry of the database was fixed in terms of search filter. The photo does not match to the selected mineral;
- Was integrated the feature called: mouse coordinates for every Raman spectrum. Was added a real time coordinates of the Raman Spectrum when the mouse is moved over the spectrum;
- Was added reverse X/Y-axis function;
- Was added a line width function. Decrease/Increase the line width by one. Possible range is from 1 to 5;
- Was integrated a slider which moves an cursor line along wavenumber axis. This slider can be moved also by the mouse wheel;
- Was fixed the import issue of .rruff files;
- Was added a file filter to see only files with the following extensions: *.txt, *.rruff, *.csv, *.asc, *.dat;
- Was integrated a new feature which get peaks from a raw Raman spectrum;
- Was added a new feature called Peak DataSheet Assignment for the imported raw Raman spectrum;
- Was fixed the peak annotation from the chart plot to maintain proportion (Y-axis / intensity axis) when the spectrum is zoomed out/in;
- Was added a new feature called Peak Assignment for every entry of the database. In other words, every entry have now a tentative assignment of they peaks (main and other - in terms of intensity);
- An updater function was integrated. So, from now user will know when a new version of RDSS is available;
- An algorithm for automatic peak finder was integrated. The algorithm use two variables: threshold and gap. Works very good with adjusted-baseline Raman spectra.
