• Digital trigger performance improved significantly and we can now keep up with most 10MHz signals
• Analyzers are now 5-10X faster - we can keep up with most 10MHz signals
• Digital edges snapping threshold was reduced to support dense data

• Analyzers - keep settings correctly between runs
• Data management - Redux was replaced with MobX to improve app stability and performance
• Fixed crash when analyzer result tooltip includes a very long text
• Disable zoom in/out keyboard shortcuts in text areas

2.2.8 is a small follow up release after the big 2.2.7 release from last week. It mainly focuses on exception handling and memory management. The app now properly clears old memory when recording in looping mode, and it deletes sessions on a background thread to keep the UI responsive when restarting captures or closing tabs.

Reminder: releases now include a new interface for writing high-level protocol decoders in Python. Check out the documentation here: github.com/saleae/logic2-examples

Bug Fixes

• fixed frequent crash in digital rendering that occurred after some digital data had been deleted
• now properly delete memory when the capture buffer gets full.
• moved session deletion to a new thread, so it doesn’t block the UI.
• changed most USB error handling from hard crashing to an error notification.
• reduced memory usage of digital recordings.

TLDR;

2.2.7 brings dramatic performance improvements to digital capture processing and digital rendering! Our aim was to get the software to run smoothly when recording digital signals near the limit of the devices’ performance. Digital data processing is now 10x faster, meaning fewer “backlogged” captures!

Reminder: releases now include a new interface for writing high-level protocol decoders in Python. Check out the documentation here: github.com/saleae/logic2-examples

Bug Fixes:

• Timing markers now snap to digital transitions again
• saved calibration files are now loaded properly when offline
• analyzer export now respects the currently selected display radix, instead of always exportin ASCII.
• Custom protocol analyzers: if no results are added GenerateFrameTabularText, the frame is now hidden from the protocol results list view
• Traces color now update immediately on change

Behind the scenes:

• detailed performance instrumentation
• significantly improved UI performance in live mode (5-10x)
• dramatically improved processing performance of digital data (10x)
• dramatically improved rendering performance of digital data (3x)
• migrated analyzer management to a better state management system
• refactored processing state updates from the data processing system

Features:

• Custom protocol analyzers that have a “FilePath” or “FolderPath” TextSetting now have UI to select files or folders
• press Ctrl+0 to reset text zoom (ctrl +/- zooms text size)
• Cmd/ctrl+click on a decoded protocol result opens the analyzer sidebar tab and scrolls to that result

Python high-level analyzers are finally here! We haven’t polished the feature at all yet, so expect a lot of changes and improvements over the next few weeks. Please post your issues, your suggestions for improvements, and please share the high-level analyzers you write!

Documentation and examples can be found here: github.com/saleae/logic2-examples

What’s new

• High-Level Analyzer Extensions! You can now write a short Python script and process decoded protocol results - change the text, merge multiple results, filter or create new results from scratch.
• Added an RMS analog measurement and digital clock frequency measurements - Python measurements are coming soon!
• Analyzer Export

Bug fixes

• Right-click analyzer text will now open its menu
• Stream to terminal button is now working properly
• Behind the scenes: performance tracing, integration tests, dll downloads, channel reordering refactor
