Mirrorcle Software Suite

Latest Version: 11.1.1.0

Last Updated on 10/23/2024

11.1.1.0#

Release Date 2024-10-23

  • MirrorcleDraw

  • Added option to reset controller (MCU) in MirrorcleDraw menu

  • Added modulation down to resolution of 0.25Hz for lissajous pattern in Signal Generator program mode

  • Added option to use enumerated strings defined as PlotType for external plot type in mirrrocledraw.ini

  • Fixed bug in MirrorcleDraw causing wrong external plot name after changing the plot type

  • MirrorcleLinearRaster

  • Added calculation to use new parameter in LinearRasterPattern() function, dRatio, more explicitely. Value is calculated larger for fast scans that utilize more bandwidth and smaller for slower scans that do not challenge the available bandwidth.

  • Fixed bug causing blank screen when no device is connected (adds message)

  • MTIDevice-Demo

  • Added more explicit use of all the parameters in SendDataStream() calls to clarify different uses of delaySamples, minimizeJump, and compensateFilterDelay parameters

  • Improved the UI in tracking and RGB examples

  • Updated delaySamples parameter in both raster demos LinearRasterDemo() and RQWaveformDemo().

  • Updated all tracking example function names to be more descriptive, matching what happens inside

  • Fixed bug causing delay in SingleTargetTracking_StreamingData_Lissajous() tracking example, previous function name was DataMode7Raster()

  • Fixed bug causing issue with digital (M) Data rotation in LinearRasterDemo() when using LinearRasterPattern with unlimited streaming

  • C++ SDK

  • Added dRatio parameter to LinearRasterPattern() with deafult value of 0.08f. Allows users to control how much of a given scan distance to allocate to the turning (decellerate and accelerate) portion of the scan. Previously was internally set to 0.05f.

  • Updated comments for many functions in MTIDevice.h to better describe functionality and parameters

  • Updated RQWaveform() alghorithm to optimize sample rate and npts, and allowing any waveform length

  • Updated how internal values for last outputted sample are obtained. Now GetXStop(), GetYStop(), GetMStop(), and GetIStop() functions return last outputted sample position after StopDataStream(), as well as after any SendDataStream() and ResetDevicePositions() Updated API includes an update to the internal values inside of SendDataStream(), such that the last sample sent to Controller after a SendDataStream(), or after StopDataStream(), or ResetDevicePosition() will return as the ‘last outputted sample’. These internal values are utilized to rotate new data in SendDataStream if ‘minimizeJump’ parameter is true, or by user to query where beam is pointing after they stop controller sampling.

  • Fixed bug causing wrong modulation frequency in LissajousWaveform, and allow xFreq, yFreq, modFreq resolution of 0.25Hz

  • Fixed bug causing visible returning point in LinearRasterPattern function

  • Mirrorcle MEMS Controller Bootloader Application

  • Updated the application version to V1.3. This version can replace the firmware more quickly and easily without requiring unplugging the controller cable to reset the controller. New version sends ResetDevice() command to reboot the controller into bootloader mode and then connects to controller bootloader firmware.
