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.

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

UI: streamline Add Device dialog and serial config widget

2026-06-10T02:14:54Z

Add Device dialog: - Replace Available Devices QGroupBox with plain devWindowTitle label to match Configuration section style — no box/border - Auto-scan on open via QTimer.singleShot(0) - Rename Scan All → Refresh Serial config widget: - Fix gap between protocol panel and Available Serial Ports: introduce _AdaptiveStack (QStackedWidget subclass) that reports only the current panel's sizeHint; set Fixed vertical size policy so the stack never expands beyond its content regardless of window size - Stretch added between Available Serial Ports and Apply & Reconnect so the button stays pinned to the bottom - Rename Channels → Signals in _GenericPanel and _SCPIPanel (Signal Queries) Config dialog (device info tab): - Rename Channels → Signals Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6

Redesign Add Device dialog with streamlined two-section layout

2026-06-09T21:40:35Z

- Unified device scanner at top (serial ports, NI devices, cameras) replaces per-panel scan groups; clicking pre-fills port/type - Port, baud rate, NI Device, and simulation toggle moved into Available Devices section; shown/hidden by device type - Device type, ID, and Protocol/Format grouped under Configuration - Panel order: Serial/UART → Arduino → NI-DAQ (Serial first) - Add button always enabled; validation on press shows error popup with focus jump to the offending field - CameraPanel loses sim_chk (sim state set by dialog via set_simulate) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6
