- Fixes some minor bugs.
- NOTE 1: Version 2.0 requires a firmware update of the HydraHarp device. The HydraHarp software can perform this update when it is first started.
- NOTE 2: This version has a new TTTR data format.
IMPORTANT! The firmware update requirement has consequences that you must observe:
- Once the update is performed you will no longer be able to use any HydraHarp software prior to version 2.0.
- Custom software you may have written for file import will require minor adaptions for version 2.0.
- You will no longer be able to use custom software based on HHLib.dll prior to version 2.0.
- Custom DLL-based software you may have written will require minor adaptions for version 2.0.
- In case of a power failure or computer crash during the update the device may become in-operational.
- Reverting to old firmware or repairing a disrupted update requires a return to factory and may incur costs.
Before installation, make sure to backup any work you kept in previous installation directories and uninstall any older versions of HHLib. The HHLib package can be distributed on CD, via download or via email. The setup distribution file is setup.exe. If you received the package via download or email, it may be packed in a zip-file. Unzip that file and place the distribution setup file in a temporary disk folder. Start the installation by running setup.exe before connecting the HydraHarp device.
The setup program will install the programming library including manual, and programming demos. Note that the demos create output files and must have write access in the folder where you run them. This may not be the case in the default installation folder. If need be, please adjust the acces permissions or copy the demos to a suitable folder.
Before uninstalling the HHLib package, please backup your measurement data and custom programs. From the start menu select: PicoQuant - HydraHarp-HHLib v2.x > uninstall. Alternatively you can use the Control Panel Wizard 'Add/Remove Programs' (in some Windows versions this Wizard is called 'Software')
