Merge origin/main: reconcile ConfigWindow consolidation with Debug window + protocol updates

2026-08-02T07:34:43Z

origin/main (23 commits) added a Debug window/log system on top of the old separate Devices/Channels/Plot windows, plus protocol fixes (cml, mark10, modbus_rtu, scpi) and device/profile changes. Local main (3 commits) replaced the separate windows with a unified ConfigWindow + dock panel. Kept local's ConfigWindow/dock architecture and ported the Debug window onto it: new toolbar button + _open_debug(), gated by developer_mode same as origin's version. Deduped the two independent "developer mode" toggles that had collided in SettingsWindow (origin's General-tab checkbox gating Debug window + device sim-mode visibility, local's Advanced-tab checkbox setting verbose logging) into one General-tab checkbox that does both.

Consolidate Devices/Channels/Plot into unified ConfigWindow

2026-08-02T06:58:34Z

Replaces three separate floating windows with single tabbed ConfigWindow: - Tab 0: Devices (device cards, add/remove/configure) - Tab 1: Channels (signal table with Dir/IN/OUT badge + pipeline ⚙ per row; derived channels pane) - Tab 2: Plot (layout canvas + pane config) Adds is_output field to ChannelConfig for output channel direction badges.

Add Developer Mode setting, Debug window, and gate simulate behind it

2026-07-29T19:28:24Z

New Settings > General > "Developer mode" checkbox (default on, so this repo's simulate-by-default workflow is unaffected out of the box) persisted through the existing core/app_settings.py load/save functions. Exposed to code that can't easily receive the settings dict via core.app_settings.is_developer_mode()/set_developer_mode(), a small in-memory cache MainWindow keeps in sync whenever settings are loaded or applied. Debug window (ui/windows/debug_window.py): minimal first pass per the plan — a live console. core/debug_log.py tees stdout/stderr into a ring buffer + Qt signal (installed once in main.py, before anything prints), so the window shows everything printed since app start, including from background poll threads, not just what's printed while it happens to be open. Its toolbar button is hidden unless developer mode is on. Simulate gating: every device's Simulation Mode checkbox/dropdown is now hidden when developer mode is off — ui/add_device_dialog.py (also covers the motion_capture camera panel, which shares this same checkbox rather than having its own), and the per-device config widgets in analog_input.py, arduino_device.py, digital_io.py, nidaqmx_device.py, serial_device.py. Hiding rather than force-clearing an already-simulating device's state — an existing simulated device keeps working if developer mode is turned off later; the option is just not offered again until it's back on.

Sync Mark-10 gauge's live unit into ChannelConfig instead of a fixed default

2026-07-29T19:12:17Z

Mark10Layer._parse() already tracked whichever unit suffix the gauge last reported (lb/kgF/N/ozF — the gauge's physical unit button cycles these independently of this app). serial_device.py hardcoded the "force" channel's unit to "N" and never updated it, so switching units on the gauge itself was invisible here. Adds Mark10Layer.current_unit and has SerialDevice.read_channels() keep the "force" ChannelConfig's unit in sync with it on every poll. This fixes the unit shown in anything that reads ChannelConfig.unit live — new plots, channel pickers, CSV log headers — but does not relabel the Y-axis of an already-open plot pane, since plot axis labels are baked into PlotConfig.y_label once at plot-build time, not re-read from the channel live. Making an open pane's axis relabel itself would need new signal plumbing from the device through AcquisitionEngine to the strip chart — a bigger, separate change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Add editable device display name, persist it across profile save/load

2026-07-29T19:03:24Z

DeviceInfo.name existed but was hardcoded per device type and never operator-editable. Adds a Display Name field to Add Device and makes the Info-tab Name field in the device config dialog editable, and threads the name through get_save_config()/ProfileManager.apply() so a custom name survives a .labdaq save/reload instead of reverting to the type default. Name is applied post-construction rather than as a constructor kwarg, since no device factory declares a "name" param. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Hide non-writable channels from Controls picker, gate writes on enabled+writable

2026-07-29T18:59:10Z

Adds ChannelConfig.writable so the Controls editor can only bind to channels with a real write mapping (VS/MA/ME/MD/ST for CML, do*/DO for digital I/O, write_cmd-configured SCPI channels, holding-register Modbus channels) instead of read-only telemetry — this is exactly the class of mistake hit earlier (binding a motor-speed control to M1_TV instead of M1_VS). Also carries forward the enabled-channel gating for controls (hide disabled channels from the picker, block writes to them at _write() time) done alongside this investigation.
