12.5
(Evaluation
version
released
2024-02-12)
Version 12.5 brings several
enhancements:
GUI Optimizations: Ternary Plot, Binary Plot, and Periodic
Table: The graphical user interface (GUI) has been
optimized.
New Options:
Additional features have been introduced.
Ternary Plot:
Introducing the FreeDraw option,
enabling users to draw freely on the canvas.
FreeDraw also facilitates the
placement of a scalable arrowhead at the initial spline/polygon
point.
Added a Tick density combo box,
more examples, and guidance.
Simplified operations with
the replacement of the Spline/Fill mode combo box selection with
Spline/Polygon & Fill radio buttons. Periodic Table:
Enhanced viewing of groups
and periods by clicking on group numbers (above) or period numbers
(left side) to highlight both group and periods.
Added the ability to hide/show
displayed content in the table with a single mouse click. Common
Improvements in Ternary plot & Binary Plot:
Reduced flickering when hovering the mouse
outside the triangular (or rectangular) frame if "View
coordinates" is enabled. Improved interaction: Clicking on a
Spline-point or a Fill point now automatically selects the
corresponding element in the combo box. Productivity Enhancement Example: Changing the Color of a Fill
Point: New Approach (Only 4 Steps):
1.Click on a fill point.
2.Open the fill point Color
combo box.
3. Scroll to the desired
color.
4.Select the color. Previous Approach (6 Steps):
1.Open the fill point combo box.
2.Scroll through the combo
box to locate the fill point.
3.Select the fill point.
4.Open the fill point Color
combo box.
5.Scroll to the desired
color.
6.Select the color.
These enhancements streamline user interactions, making tasks more
efficient and user-friendly.

CHEMIX School
8.00 (released 2020-5-21)
New
v8.00 YouTube video Tutorials
- Added
a Data Logger (Curve Fit - Function Plot - Data Logger)
: In this CHEMIX School version, a serial port data
logger has been added. The purpose of this new addition is
to be able to acquire and view serial data collected
from micro controllers such as Arduino.
- Added Plot of vertical
lines XiYi to Xi(Yi=0) to the Interpolation & Curve
Fit drop down list. Suited for visualization of data
acquisitions from e.g. Geiger-counters.
-
Added Initialize to default button. --> All settings to
startup conditions.
- MAX
number data points has been increased from 400 to 1000 . - Added Sort & Swap:
Sort X-data from low to high or swap X <-> Y.
- 0%-2%-5% Additional space before/after and
above/beneath XY Max & Min values.
- Added Save as *.CSV (comma-separated
values)
- It is now possible to see the total number of XY
pairs in a data set. Standard logging
(default): Receive X Y data
1) Stops logging automatically after a selected number of data
points (Max 1000pts).
2) Possibility to keep
track of up to 1000 of the Last log points . When a
selected number (e.g. 1000 pts.) of logged
data points has been reached, (X,Y)-1
will be replaced by (X,Y)-2 and (X,Y)-2 will be replaced by
(X,Y)-3
and so on . ( Replace old
points after ### points)
Each second the logger will read and present available serial
data. If log-data is received, the data will be copied to the
data-edit field
and automatically plotted.
NOTE: To receive a big list of XY data (limited to <= 1000 X Y
pairs), use "Standard logging" (advanced logging unchecked) and
the logger will once a second read, collect and present as much
data as possible dependent of the baud rate. Advanced options (checked): Conditional statement (options):
Log if | Y(i)-Y(i-1) |
>= | c |Log only if
| Y(i)-Y(i-1) | >= | c |
Log if
Y(i) !=
c Log only if Y(i) !=
c
Stop if Y(i) > =
cLogging will be stopped if Y(i)
> = c
Stop if Y(i) < =
c Logging will be
stopped ifY(i)
< = c
Red Alert if Y(i) >=
c
Entire plot area will go from
white to redifY(i)
>= c
Red Alert if
Y(i) <=
c
Entire plot area will
go from white to red if Y(i) <= c
Operators - meaning: | c | absolute value,
<= less than or equal to,
>= greater than or equal
to , != not equal to
Audio - (Red Alert) : In combination with the visual Red
Alert, an audio signal (default 2 signals 2 seconds apart)
can be heard.
This can be turned off or changed from Settings in the File
menu.
