Bug fixes in CIR

• CIR With Data Browser : multiple measurement error when some cir.ini file settings are set.

Released April 15, 2025

Version 10.4 of Vision introduces a new granular zoom feature where users can select the exact zoom value wanted. It also introduces smaller zoom steps when using the mouse scroll wheel as well as zoom +/- buttons to give a more user friendly experience when visualizing images in Vision.

This version also includes some smaller bug fixes in CIR.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where CIR was performing an autofocus even when running a playback mode on save image

• Fixes an issue where the report's header was absent when printing report

• Fixes an issue where copying an image from CIR and pasting that image in another software would yield a blank image in certain conditions

Released February 28, 2025

Version 10.3 of Vision fixes an issue where Vision would not install under Windows Enterprise.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where direct measure were no longer appearing in the data browser

• Setup accept install on non-Professional Win10 and Win11 OSes

Released October 28, 2024

Version 10.2 of Vision introduces a set of bug fixes. Notably,

• In Vision, the team fixed a set of data integrity issues where calibration of a saved image would change and also where the scale bar length could not be adjusted.

• A major change is introduced to CIR inclusions classifications where some type C inclusions are wrongly classified as Type B. All user installing this version will have the new behaviour. To disable it add the ASTME45Strict=0 in CIR.ini

  • In previous algo, roughness could introduce ambiguity in classification between Type B and Type C inclusions, as it was not representative enough.

  • In the new algo, aspect ratio has become one of the main critical parameters. This focus on aspect ratio allows for a clearer differentiation based on the shape and alignment of the inclusions as described in ASTM E45.

  • By prioritizing morphology, the algorithm is more robust and less susceptible to variations in surface characteristics.

  • A work was also done on stringers definition in the algo in order to ensure reliability between Type B and Type D as well.

Bug Fixes

• User Admin : Vision Rights - Stage advanced settings - autofocus parameters and stage positions are not available when granted rights.

• User Admin : log in issue if edition of user name required after a log in failure.

• CFR - Saved result file can be altered by mean of map mode (object can change category)

• CFR - Automatic approval with previous approval signature

• CFR - App verifier User Admin : add instruction to approve report and result issue

• CFR - App verifier User Admin : picture properties in report access violation to investigate.

• CFR - App verifier User Admin : self approbation in epilog of a routine

• Vision : Design report template mode changes the main app name

• Vision : Generating report from main menu changes main app caption

• Vision : PDF generation issue

• Vision : Scale bar usability and integrity problem

• Vision : Exporting a saved image changes the calibration of saved image

• Vision : Virtual Mono and Virtual Color camera switching issues

• Vision : Manually saving results deletes associated routine

• Vision : building mosaic with routine will crash

• Vision : GrainSeg v2.0.1 cause vision to bootstrap very slowly

• Vision : Stage pattern view, field origin marker issue.

• CIR Type C wrongly classified as Type B in ASTM E45

Released September 25, 2024

Version 10.1.201 of Vision, fixes an issue with Nikon Microscope Drivers

Bug Fixes

• Vision - Nikon MA-200 calibration crash when opening

Released July 8, 2024

Version 10.1.200 of Vision, CIR and CMT is a micro-release that introduces a set of bug fixes and stability improvement mainly to Vision and CIR. Notably:

• The Vision scale bar had an issue where when loading an image after saving the scale bar could not be edited. There was also a related issue when a large mosaic image was saved and loaded, the calibration factor got corrupted. This was fixed as well.

• In CIR there was an issue in unlaminated or mildly laminated steel with sulfides of aspect ratio < 3 (i.e. not elongated) were detected but not taken into account in classification ISO 4967. Because ISO 4967 does not specify the aspect ratio from which inclusion should be taken into account, the minimum aspect ratio is now set to a value that classifies most sulfides morphologies.

• A number of instabilities and causes crashes in CIR, CMT and Vision were also fixed.

Bug Fixes

• Vision : Help file not found error but file is present (REX branch only)

• Vision : Scale bar integrity not conserved when saving and loading large mosaic image files

• Vision : Scale bar width is not the same in image and "scale line object attributes" window

• Vision : Crash on opening Analysis properties just after a clean launch

• Vision : Initialize Z on restart works once, unset itself

• Vision : crash on Austenitic plugin instruction insert, fatal error message on restart.

• Vision : Instability with virtual joystick, leads to a crash

• Vision : Autoexpose crash after a load/close results file.

• Vision : Software crash on opening existing routine with plugin instruction or trying to insert instruction.

• Add facility for automatically saving crash dumps during install

• Stability fix for turret related API error

• CMT: Stage Pattern window is lacking toolbar buttons and viewport

• CMT stage function Initialize on restart does not work, stuck at splash screen.

• CIR Detection - Lack of consistency

• CIR in load image mode, the EN10247 analysis will crash upon displaying results.

• Time limited licenses : Lite does not start after a fresh install of TLL license

• Vision/CMT - Updating time limited license from "Registration Info" causes system to fail with invalid license on restart

Released May 2, 2024

Version 10.0 of Vision, CIR and CMT introduces the following new features aimed at lowering the initial cost of Clemex software with time limited licensing, an improved autofocus, faster plugin execution and a long list of bug fixes.
