- The clamp thread's priority can now be set by the user to trade off between maximum performance
and the threat of potentially freezing one's system. - The clamp cycle can now be started after a settling period, or by way of a digital trigger input.
- A new data source was added, Voltage Stepper, which produces square steps.
- Several tools were added, including a pseudo-random synaptic background noise conductance, a
"wire" facility to pass data from input to output channels, a facility to interpret data on an input
channel as a conductance, and an experimental software-defined voltage clamp using PID control. - The chemical synapse model can now produce stochastically sized post-synaptic potentials.
- Data saving has become much more flexible, both in terms of output format and in terms of the naming
of the output file(s). - The GUI has received numerous upgrades and improvements to usability.
- We have added MSVC build capability. The MSVC build runs faster, but does not support the Digidata
driver. For Digidata 1200/A users, a mingw build is still provided. - A number of bugs have been fixed.
Three executables are provided, with support for Digidata 1200, for National Instruments (NI) interfaces, and for both. Unless you require Digidata 1200 support, we strongly recommend using the NI-only executable (StdpC_NI.exe). Protocols can, of course, be transferred between these versions, should the need arise.
