This was the original version of COMBIgor, established in around 2010 at the National Renewable Energy Labratory which was just a few shared prodecures for various instruments in the lab that were collected into a single folder

This version of COMBIgor took version 0.0 and structured the data in a way which made comparison between instruments possible. There was no version control between 1.0 and 2.0, however many additonal instruments were added to the package during this time.

This is version was release by Kevin Talley in November 2018 to the internal NREL staff. It was a substantial upgrade from previous versions and none of the orignal code was reused. The number of instruments was reduced from verison 1.0. None of the exisiting experiments from 1.0 would work and had to be imported thorugh the project menu.

Changes:

NREL_LMC

• • load can now load a whole folder of .json files.

BackgroundRemove

• • sets scale of mask to match the vector “signal data”

  • sets scale of background to match the vector “signal data”

  • Fixes setting mask as Signal and Background

  • Displays the Background name when selected on Plugins panel

Vector Peak fit

• • Fixed FWHM pre calculation, to count for negative X-axis values

Diffraction Ref

• • Added capabilities to produce plots and compare peaks in data

Bruker D8

• • Added improved data plotting, now included in the menu.

NREL_UVVIsNIR

• • Fixed Calculation of Absorption from -Ln(T)/(1-R)/d to -Ln(T/(1-R))/d

Display

• • Fixed appending of 2D data to existing plot

Changes handled by Update function:

• • Changes globals with names that contain “Gadgets” to contain “Plugins”

New Add-ons:

• • SSRL_HTWAXS

  • Example Plugin

Special Notes:

• • Due to the Gadget > Plugin change, a previously started v2 experiment will not compile. To fix this, the user must click “Edit procedure” and then change all instances of “Gadget” with “Plugin”, this includes line 7, and possibly 2 more in the following 13 lines. After compiling the window, they must run COMBIgor > Help > Update.

Changes:

• • System Font or Arial for windows are default panel and graph text

  • Changed layout of Display Panel for larger fields

  • COMBI data file capability

  • Auto plot on load user preference

  • The meta data type “SampleID” which is just the Library Name + “_S#” where # is the sample number (indexed to 1)

Changes handled by Update function:

• • Adding the Global value: sPlotOnLoad for an auto plotting option

  • Added Filter fields to the Display Panel and display globals

New Add-ons:

• • Pie Maps

Changes:

• • Display panel upgrades for mapping tab

  • Display panel upgrade so less feilds have to be re-selected

Changes handled by Update function:

• • Renames the "AllLibraries" folder in each project to "FromMappingGrid"

New Add-ons:

• • SolarCell

  • Rigaku_Smartlab

This is the inital version housed on www.github.nrel.gov and released at time of the pacakage publication.

Changes:

• • Use of a Logo wave added to the top of the add-ons panel

  • Expectation thickness feature added to Dektak8 instrument

  • Example mapping grid files for loading, as uposed to defining

Changes handled by Update function:

• • Adds the Logo wave to the package globals folder for use on add-ons panel

New Add-ons:

• • Ellipsometer

  • TernaryPlotter

  • NREL_Utilities

Changes:

• • Matrix wave changed dimensionality to [rows][columns][sample] to better suit image plotting functions

  • DiffractionRefs - complete overhaul with added functionalities

  • Display - Now shows waves in library subfolders (bug fix)

  • Bruker D8 - Frame loading, transformation, and plotting capabilities added

  • Dektak8 - Mask offset for single feature scans

Changes handled by Update function:

• • None needed
