  • Addition of functions
    1. OpenJDK 17 compatible.
    2. Function to set the measurement value to be acquired for [Target Measure Item] in [Select Measure Data].
  • Fixed issues
    1. The selection of measurement items specified for pre-processing and post-processing was deselected.
    2. When the work project was saved after the rename of the measurement items specified for pre-processing and post-processing, the names before the rename were saved.
    3. When the names of target measurement items in [Select Measure Data] were changed, the settings of the measurement items after the renaming returned to the default settings.
    4. Variables with the same name as Timing resources could not be specified for the X or Y axis parameters.
  • Fixed issues in the Shmoo Algorithm
    1. After renaming the measurement item specified in the [Target Item], the renamed measurement item could not specified in the [Target Item].
    2. The settings of the [Select Measure Data] were applied to the measurement item that was not the target of the settings.

  • Fixed issue

    1. A variable could not be specified to the Shmoo axis by one click.
      This occurs at Shmoo axis settings for the first time after starting the Shmoo Plot Tool.

      • Behavior after improvement

      • Revisions in which this phenomenon occurs
        Rev 2.46.00

  • Fixed issue

    1. The tracking settings were disabled when loading the Shmoo conditions.
      The tracking settings were disabled when loading the Shmoo conditions that had a resource specified for the axis with the same name as a variable.

      • Behavior after improvement
        The tracking settings are enabled for the above conditions.
      • Revisions in which this phenomenon occurs
        Rev 2.24.00 to 2.46.00
    2. The name of the [Item Name] was different from the name of the [Measure Item] in the Shmoo log.
      There were cases where the name of the Item Nameeasurement item name being executed) was different from the name of the Measurement Itemeasurement item name for Shmoo acquisition) in the Shmoo log.
      In addition, the [Item Name] was used for the file name of the Shmoo log, so the log was saved with incorrect name.
      This occurs when the measurement item to be executed is changed with the following settings after starting the Shmoo Plot Tool.

      • In the Standard Mode
        The setting of the [Measure Item] in the [Analysis Tools] and the [Setup and Execution]

      • In the Expert Mode
        The selection of the flow item in the flow item list area

      • Behavior after improvement
        The same measurement item name as the [Measurement Item] is displayed to the [Item Name].
        Shmoo logs are also saved with appropriate file names.

      • Revisions in which this phenomenon occurs
        Rev 1.00.00 to 2.45.00

    3. A memory leakage occurred when the Shmoo conditions were loaded.

      • Behavior after improvement
        Improved the memory leakage when the Shmoo conditions were loaded.
      • Revisions in which this phenomenon occurs
        Rev 1.00.00 to 2.45.00
    4. An error occurred when executing the flow after loading the Shmoo coniditions and exiting the Shmoo Plot Tool.

      • Behavior after improvement
