Native-mode compilation also offers immediate execution speed increases to users calling external DLLs. In addition, the developers improved the package's data-import capability. Users manipulate data as channels, which might represent a single column of numbers within a multiple-column datafile. Previously, if an import required more than one channel of data, users invoked a separate text editor to specify a header file to instruct the program to import and label separate channels. Now a menu-driven import generator guides users through the process of deciding the name, number of samples, sampling rate, any offset or rescaling and units of a channel.
Users can also select specific channels to import from a multichannel file.
A command-line interface provides an alternative to those preferring to type in a selection. Finally, SPL, the compiled language that allows users to add custom functions, now supports multiple return values, thus functions can return values to separate variables. Inc. All rights reserved.
