f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	48 <p>Version 2.1 of LTPDA has various new features.</p>
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	49 <ul>
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	50 <li><p>Analysis Objects have two new properties, <b>dx</b> and <b>dy</b>,
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	51 for storing errors/uncertainties on the <b>x</b> and <b>y</b> data
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	52 vectors. Currently, the spectral estimation tools
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	53 (<b>psd, cohere</b>, etc) are calculating sample variances and
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	54 assigning the values to <b>dy</b>. In this release, errors are not
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	55 properly propagated through all additional functions; this is
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	56 sometimes left to the user to handle. In a future release, the aim is
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	57 to properly handle error propagation in all functions, where possible.
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	58 Often this will mean deleting these vectors, or calculating new errors
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	59 based on the input AOs.</p></li>
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	60 <li>
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	61 <p>All user objects now have the following new fields:</p>

f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	63 <li><p>description: a string that can be assigned to describe the object</p></li>

f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	69 <li><p>Documentation (<b>>>help</b> method) has been significantly
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	70 simplified. Now the details of the parameters for configuring a method
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	71 are dynamically created and presented to the user in the MATLAB help

f0afece42f48 Import.

f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	83 <li><p>LTPDA now provides direct access to NDS (version 1) servers using
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	84 the AO constructor ‘From NDS Server’. This requires the (3rd party)
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	85 NDS client mex files to be available on the MATLAB path.</p></li>
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	86 <li><p>The repository interactions are now done through purpose written
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	87 java code so that no database toolbox is required. Also, the
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	88 repository GUI (repogui) has been removed and the various features
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	89 are replaced by individual GUI components which can be launched either
f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	90 via the workbench or via the new workspace browser

f0afece42f48 Import. Daniele Nicolodi <nicolodi@science.unitn.it> parents: diff changeset	92 <li><p>A new GUI, the Workspace Browser (workspaceBrowser) allows fast
