ActivVisionTools in general

o Functionality:
  • The activation of components using the TAB key has been fixed for all tools.
  • The input for text fields is now also accepted as soon as the focus is passed on to another component (not only when pressing the Return key).
  • Wrong input values in text fields caused a runtime error. This has been fixed such that in the case of a wrong value the input is replaced by the default value.
  • Information about problems with ActivVisionTools is now logged in the file AVTGeneral.log in the directory %TEMP%. This file is overwritten each time an AVT program is started.
  • The default value for UsePopUpMenuAppl has been changed to True.
  • Now, when selecting a new unit in AVTViewCalibration all tools are re-executed to display the values with the new unit.

o Bug Fixes:
  • The status information is now stored correctly using the AddIn. Please note that it is not possible to run more than one Visual Basic session at the same time. Besides this it is not possible to combine multiple projects (using the ActivVisionTools) into one group.
  • A wrongly set HALCONROOT does no longer cause a fatal error.

ActivView

o Speed-Up and Enhancements:
  • The visualization of images and results in AVTView, which was slowed down in some contexts, has been sped up.
  • The speed of creating an instance of AVTView has been improved.

o Functionality:
  • Information about problems with frame grabbers is now logged in the file "AVTImageGrabber.log" in the directory %TEMP%. This file is overwritten each time an AVT program is started.
  • There is more space for the combo boxes in AVTViewImageGrabber.
  • If PicPort is selected in AVTViewImageGrabber, the combo box "Field" is no longer activated. Furthermore, all available cameras supported by PicPort can now be selected.
  • The frame grabbers PCEye and DFG-BW1 are now better supported.
  • The frame grabbers PCEye, MatrixVision, and DFG-BW1 are no longer detected if they are not installed. To make use of this feature one has to use the latest frame grabber interfaces.

o Bug Fixes:
  • An infinite loop caused by trying to read images that are not available has been eliminated.
  • The parameters selected in AVTViewImageGrabber for a frame grabber are now automatically stored in the DSC file.
  • In case the frame grabber was selected automatically by AVTViewImageGrabber the parameters were not adaapted correctly. The user had to click on the name of the frame grabber to activate the correct selection. This problem has been fixed.

ActivGeoCalib

o Speed-Up and Enhancements:
  • The parameters to find the calibration plate have been improved.

o Functionality:
  • After selecting a new reference image (using the slider or the text input) the calibration is now automatically applied for the new reference image.

ActivBarcode

o Functionality:
  • In the text output in the lower part of AVTBarcode1D now the text of the barcode inside the active ROI is displayed (instead of the result of the first ROI).

ActivFeatureCalc

o Bug Fixes:
  • Ghost results caused by AVTFeatureCalc (and displayed by AVTDecision) have been eliminated.
  • The results were not correctly set when the operation was set to "none". This bug has been fixed.

ActivDataView

o Bug Fixes:
  • If AVTDataView is started with a disabled update, no tools appear in the combo box (therefore also no ROIs). This has been fixed.

ActivDecision

o Functionality:
  • Default of "Update Enabled" for AVTDecision is now False.

ActivFile

o Bug Fixes:
  • The bug that AVTFile somtimes did not write an output file has been fixed.
  • In AVTOutputFile the file size is now always calculated when pressing the corresponding button.

ActivSerial

o Functionality:
  • After the tag END a carriage return has been inserted.
  • The end tag for objects has been changed to '/OBJECT'.

ActivVisionTools NLS

o Functionality:
  • UNICODE is now supported for all NLS files of the ActivVisionTools.
  • In the german version the text of AVTMeasureResult has been modified to fit into the tool.

o Bug Fixes:
  • A runtime error that was caused if the NLS files are write protected has been fixed.

ActivViewer

o Speed-Up and Enhancements:
  • The visualization of images and results in AVTView, which was slowed down in some contexts, has been sped up.
