Release Notes

skope-fx

Version 1.0.0.383

Release date: 16.06.2026

Features

  • Provide ability to truncate the displayed part of the acquisitions by specifying a start and end time

  • Automatically close pre scans visualizations to reduce the number of open tabs.

  • Handling scans started by external clients: improve field model matching and data visualization

    • Scan started by external client that has a field model associated, use that field model

    • Scan started by external client that has no field model associated with it:  use the last field model in the session if available

    • No field model available in the scan or the session: show magnitude and phase data, and leave field model association open

  • Better handling of sessions files that are opened in another application

  • Various UX improvements (displaying tags, recent sessions overview, opening snapshots, various editable fields)

  • Add infrastructure to handle changing session file and communication protocol versions

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where it was possible to select acquisitions for display that were not received yet

  • Ensured session metadata is saved when saving a session

  • Fixed an issue with automatic selection of Trigger Ignore Time when repeating an externally commanded scan

  • Fixed an issue where the scan visualization flickered

Release date: 27.03.2026

Features

  • Select / deselect complete orders of spherical harmonics at once when plotting k or G.

Bugfixes

  • Better handling of scans in the scan queue.

    • No scans are lost from the scan queue if they share the same name.

  • Better handling of scans that are cancelled, particularly during pre scan.

  • Scan comparison works properly for already open scans.

  • Improved caching of system configurations.

  • Better error messages when trying to connect to an incomplete system.

  • Improved autosaving logic.

Version 1.0.0.340

Release date: 20.01.2026

Features
