• Improved the reliability of LCC devices during repetitive sampling.
• Added improvements to support the Delsys Trigno Wireless system.

Channel Settings Dialog

The Units Conversion dialog options are now always enabled as appropriate when accessed from the Channel settings dialog.

Macros

The ManualStimulatorPulse example Macro has been removed from the Manage Macros dialog.

• Improved scrolling performance in channel calculations.

Export

‘Use simple format’ can now be used in Export MATLAB.

Stimulator

Users can now specify very narrow stimulator pulses.

Data Pad

Various improvements have been made to editing formulae and entering data in the Data Pad.

Welcome Center

Improvements have been made to the Welcome Centre functionality to better support the Experiments folder.

General

• Added support for new generation Octal and Quad Bioamps.
• Added ‘synchrony’ arithmetic expression for showing synchronization between two event channels.
• Fixed a bug where arithmetic expressions using another channel’s raw data weren’t always being loaded properly from settings files.

Upgrading from a non-English version of LabChart using Feature Manager now installs the correct language version.

The DMT Device Enabler now initializes correctly from LabChart.

General

Added support for the Spirometry 2.5 Extension.

General

• General user interface and stability improvements.
• Improved stability of modules when analyzing while sampling.

Chart and Scope View

• Improved responsiveness of the Movie View marker.
• Reinstated the ability to make a selection when sampling.
• Reinstated Scope macro commands.

Import

Reinstated the ability to selectively import channels from EDF files.

General

LabChart is now fully compatible with Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

Windows

• LabChart 8.1 or later do not support Windows Classic theme.
• In the Preset Comment "Event Configuration" dialog, if "Comment only on first stimulus" is checked, the comment is disabled for the entire record after the first pulse.

Mac

• If you are on OS X v10.11 (El Capitan) and have already upgraded to LabChart 8.1.2 - Please upgrade to 8.1.3 here on our website rather than in feature manager. You can then proceed as normal for all future upgrades.
• There are some features that were present in LabChart 7 that are not currently included in LabChart v8.1. Click here for more information.
• The ADInstruments Blood Flow Meter is occasionally initialized with only one channel enabled. The user can manually enable the second channel.
• For machines that have high-resolution Retina displays, users may encounter responsiveness and stability issues when using the Scope View.
