TxPlan - What Was New in Version 2.0

TxPlan Program

Description

Release Date: October 2011.

The following main features were added or changed in version 2.0:

A tab character in the title line or in carrier labels will now be displayed on the diagram as a line break. So the user can specify a multi-line title, or multi-line carrier labels, within the constraints of the current text file format.
Minor improvements to image layout. Carriers now drawn in red.
Current bitmap image dimensions now shown on window title-bar. Allows user to resize window to desired bitmap size before saving image.
Added a check box in the View Options, so user can choose to label carrier edge frequencies, in addition to the default centre frequency labels.
New "Clear All" item in Edit menu, deletes all loaded carriers and resets program to defaults.
Program now remembers last work folder when restarted.

Registration dialog and registration code functionality added to support new Advanced Features.
New tabs on the View Options dialog to allow the user to edit the Colours and Fonts used on the diagram. And new commend on View menu to reset to Default Fonts.
New Edit menu to allow the user to Add, Modify or Delete carriers within the program, without having to manually edit a text file.
New File menu item to Save the Carriers list to a text file format for later re-use.
New "Fit Carriers" item in the View menu. Changes the left and right frequency edges of the diagram to exactly match the loaded carriers.
New Scrunch Carriers command in the Edit menu, to automatically adjust the centre frequencies of all carriers to remove any overlaps or gaps between carriers.
New Shift Carriers command in the Edit menu, to translate all carrier frequencies by the same fixed amount. For example to simulate the effect of a frequency converter, BUC or LNB.
New Save Intermod Report command in the File menu, to produce a list of the frequencies of the Third Order Intermodulation Products which would result from passing the carriers through a non-linear device, such as an amplifier.

Fixed problems saving bitmap when path name plus file name is greater than 128 characters.
Fix so diagram will properly display when negative values entered for carrier levels.
Option to use extended file name extension (*.carriers.txt) to differentiate Carrier files from other text files, but still have them accessible from the default text-editor.
Now using HtmlHelp, which is still supported by Windows 7. Instead of the older WinHelp, which required Windows 7 users to separately download and install WinHelp for Windows 7.
