Release date: August 11 2021

New features

RSK persistence of chart state

Have you ever been in the situation where you want to focus on a specific channel in your dataset or perhaps on a particular time range? Are you annoyed that each time you reopen the file you need to spend time configuring the display? Ruskin now automatically persists your current chart state in the RSK file so that on the next load of the file you can pick up where you left off. If you need to revert to the default view, it can be done with a click of a button in the navigator.

Here are some items which are now persisted:

Visible channels
Axes ranges
Plot style (Time series vs depth plot)
Annotation selection
Marker type display
Charting line style

Others

Improved widget and dialog sizing based on Microsoft Windows magnification level
Improved application launch time with an instrument connected
Added firmware v1.134 (104) for RBRvirtuoso³, RBRduo³, RBRconcerto³, RBRmaestro³, RBRbrevio³, RBRquartz³
