20.10.2010 - Version 2.4.5 maintenance Release
- changed: copy protection removed. (due to false positive virus alerts, was pointless anyway)
- changed: "%" value of bandwidth B(3dB) removed. (pointless)
- added: option to ask user for printout language (a bit stiched together, but wth? :))
- fixed: div/0 error when startfrequency=stopfrequency
- fixed: "File not found." error is properly dislayed now
- fixed: filename is now properly displayed in title
- fixed: "Insufficient Data Error" when chaning coupling factor
- fixed: loss tangent unit is now displayed properly
- fixed: preferred printer is now displayed properly
- fixed: x-axis of repeat measurement is now displayed when no thermal sensor is attached
- fixed: ".txt" extention is now correctly added (error could not be reproduced???)
- fixed: results are cleared after new calibration
- fixed: Q and B values switched in printout
- fixed: old spectra with Q(mech) are now properly loaded again
- Full changelog.

- added: measurement of serial resistance Rs at resonance frequency f(min)
- added: user-defined precision threshold for k and q calculation
- added: auto-backup mode can now be chosen
- changed: EMC now remembers all preferences
- changed: automatic protocolling improved
- fixed: filename chaos in backup directory corrected
- fixed: eps(rel) is now recalculated correctly, if any geometry is changed to <=0 after measurement
- fixed: floating point error, when changing k without data
- fixed: print layout
- Full changelog.

25.11.2004 - The Dancing Hysteresis
Since I've beeen asked quite a few times: Here it is. The Dancing Hysteresis Video (2.4mb) for you to download :-)
We're developing Piezolab HYS, a program to automate dielectric hysteresis measurements. I recorded this nice video of the temperature-dependent behaviour of the dielectric hysteresis of soft-PZT (-200°C to +200°C). To play the video you will either need the XviD (Freeware) -codec.
And here is the Ec(T)/Pr(T)-diagram (not a video):
You can nicely see at which temperature the ferroelectric domains have enoughenergy to overcome the major pinning effects in the microstructure.
