jBEAM 2024.3

Block diagram: Improved filtering and tooltips

Analog to the Explorer window, the block diagram now offers a powerful filter search with buttons to configure and apply filters and to highlight the results. This can help to get a better overview in large projects, to analyse component groups or to search for errors.

Moreover, the information displayed as tooltip at the edges can now be configured similar to the Explorer tree node layout. Thus for instance, data object type and unit can be displayed in addition to the data object name.

MDF Importer Saves Channel Load Status

The MDF importer now offers the option to save individual channel settings in order to ensure that the initially set load status is applied even if with changing import files channels are missing in between. Besides losd status, also specific channel properties (I, IT, GT) are saved in a channel setting file (.chs).

„All Files“ filter for Multi File Import

The Multi File Import now offers the option to select all files instead of only files with the same extension as the currently selected file. This might be useful e.g. if the file extension is used to number files (measurement.001, measurement.002, ...).

Kistler CSV Importer Enhanced for ComoNeo

The Kistler CSV Importer has been enhanced to support current ComoNeo format. The ComoNeo measures the cavity pressure and other quantities during injection molding. The files then contain cyclic production data which is supported partially. As there are various Kistler CSV formats, this importer will soon be renamed to Kistler Como Zyklusdaten CSV.

Prototype for maXYmos CSV Importer

A prototype for a maXYmos CSV Importer has been implemented. The Kistler maXYmos is a family of XY process monitoring systems providing evaluation objects to define individual evaluation criteria. The prototype importer can read the measured data and a growing number of evaluation objects. Currently, the importer is not yet available in a regular jBEAM edition but can be provided in a full trial version for interested users.

Check for Valid Action-Events

The various components that can work in sequential mode, like AppendValues, EventAnalysis or Histogram, now actively receive an error status if the necessary action items are not selected or found. For example, the result action data object of the multi file importer StatCtrl provides the commands TRIGGER after the import of a new file, or CLEAR after a click on "Reset". Especially in large projects, this feature helps to ensure that the configuration of such commands is correct.
