Synnax beta version 33 introduces two highly requested features: Full support for LabJack devices and a new log component.

We’ve also made a number of performance improvements and bug fixes.

LabJack Support

All LabJack T-Series devices are fully supported using our built-in LabJack driver. You can use a write task to control digital and analog outputs on the device, and a read task to acquire data from inputs.

Synnax currently only support LabJack devices on Windows, although we plan to add support for other platforms soon.

Log Component

We’ve added a new log component to the Synnax Console that allows you to view channel data in a log format. This component can be connected to any channel, and is particularly useful for tracking the progress of control sequences and other automated hardware control processes.

Breaking Changes

This release does not introduce any breaking changes.

Summary

Synnax version 0.32 makes an improvement to National Instruments Analog Read tasks. The new version allows you to acquire data from multiple devices in a single task. This is useful in one of two scenarios:

1. You have multiple devices and you want to acquire data from all of them synchronously.
2. You have many different cards on a single chassis (e.g. cDAQ-9174) and you need to avoid hitting the maximum number of allowed tasks.

Instead of choosing the device at the top level of the task, you can now specify the device for each channel.

Breaking Changes

This release does not introduce any breaking changes. Previous NI analog read tasks will be migrated to the new format automatically.

Summary

User Registration & Access Control

Synnax version 0.31 introduces long awaited user registration and access control features. You can now register users via the command palette. Once registered, one of two permissions can be granted to a user: admin and schematic edit.

• Admin users have the permission to perform any task, including registering, removing, and changing the permissions of other users.
• Schematic edit defines whether a user is allowed to create and edit schematics.

These two permission sets are the first of many to come.

New Schematic Symbols

This release also introduces six new schematic symbols.

The label positions and wrap widths of all symbols can now be customized.
