Formula Output Incorrect When Operating on Two or More ChannelsFlexLogger may map channels incorrectly and produce the wrong output from any formula that uses two or more channels. This can occur when configuring a formula, renaming any channels used in formulas, or migrating a project from a previous version of FlexLogger. Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue. You can use the attached tool, FlexLogger2020FormulaDiagnosticUtility, to determine if any of your projects may be affected by this issue. |

Formula Output Incorrect When Operating on Both Digital and Analog ChannelsFlexLogger may map channels incorrectly and produce the wrong output from any formula that includes both digital (any channel that has a boolean value) and analog channels (any channel that has a numeric value). If the name of a digital channel comes alphabetically before the name of any analog channels in the formula, then the channels will get mapped to the wrong position in the formula. For example, the formula "b_digital ? a_analog : c_analog" would be mapped incorrectly because the name "b_digital" comes before "c_analog" alphabetically.
Workaround: Rename channels so that, alphabetically, all analog channels are before any digital channels. You can use the attached tool, FlexLogger2020FormulaDiagnosticUtility, to determine if any of your projects may be affected by this issue.

Incorrect Timestamps for Data Coming From cDAQ Onboard CountersFlexLogger 2020 R4 added a preview feature which, when enabled, allows the use of onboard counters on cDAQ devices. However the timestamps of all but the first sample from these counters are incorrect. The samples are scaled incorrectly in time because the data is recorded as a waveform and the dt (delta in time) between samples is set to the default sample rate of the counter rather than the actual sample rate. The error is evident when graphing the data on a FlexLogger screen and when analyzing the data from any log files. Workaround: Logged data can be corrected by re-calculating the timestamps. Use the first sample timestamp and calculate the remaining timestamps using the correct dt, where the correct dt is 1 divided by the actual sample rate reported in FlexLogger. In DIAdem, you can set the Waveform x-step width of each counter channel to correct all the timestamps quickly. |
