The batch control window can now save its content as a template for future work. Use the local menu commands Actions/Save current content as template and Actions/Load template to save and load the tables. A file called batch_control_template.xlsx in the user application directory is used to store the template.
Objects of type ‘colorbox’ and related special computaton objects could not be edited any more. This has been fixed today.
View elements of type ‘Lines’ had a problem with a blank following another blank in the text: A line break was generated and one character of the next word was missing. This has been fixed.
You can now export the computed average spectrum to an object in the list of spectra. The property dialog allows to specify the name of the receiving object.
If a name of an existing spectrum object is defined, the average spectrum will be copied to the field ‘experiment’ – as if it were a measured spectrum. This way you can compute integral quantities for the average spectrum.
A bug using the third set of temporary target values has been fixed.
We have introduced some new commands to manage spectra:
Objects of type ‘color box’ (members of the list of special computations) can now compute the average spectrum and average values of a* and b* for fluctuating layer thickness values. This helps to understand spectral drifts due to production uncertainties.
There was a problem with Windows usernames which sometimes are returned in capital letters and sometimes not. Unfortunately this caused legal users to be rejected. We have relaxed the checking procedure in order to keep you going …
A CODE design can now be exported to the rendering software “Ocean 2015” (made by Eclat Digital).
Starting with a CODE configuration like the one shown below
you can export all data (angular dependence of reflectance and transmittance) needed for realistic simulations in the visible. As an example, the appearance of a bank building (equipped with the simple low-e stack shown above) has been simulated for different weather conditions.

If you overlay several ‘special computation objects’ in a view (like a bunch of parameter variation graphs) and you have de-activated their option ‘Automatic re-computation’, the view update requires many mouse clicks.
Not any more: You can now use a script to update all objects with a single click. Define a script and pass the object command ‘update’ to all objects. Here is an example showing how to re-compute 3 special computation objects named sc1, sc2, and sc3:
object command, sc1,update
object command, sc2, update
object command, sc3,update
