Fix acquisition pipeline stutter with many channels

2026-08-03T21:32:56Z

Batches per-tick device readings into one signal emit instead of one per channel, evaluates derived channels once per tick instead of once per raw sample, and makes ChannelBuffer.window() cost scale with the window size instead of total buffer history. Strip chart X-range now scrolls on an independent ~30fps timer instead of only snapping when new data lands, which was the main visible cause of the stutter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Re-designed control widgets to be fully contrained.

- Moved edit and X button to top with header of widget. - Replaced up/down button with drag-and-drop style headers.

Removed floating control panel feature. Floating can make window

disappear and no sidebar panel. Possible future implementation.

Merge branch 'feat/auto-updater'

Remove Debug window feature

2026-08-02T07:38:09Z

Debug button, DebugWindow, and the stdout/stderr tee (core/debug_log.py) weren't wanted. developer_mode toggle stays — still gates device Simulation Mode checkboxes and verbose terminal logging. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

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.

Fix Settings button calling nonexistent _toggle_win method

2026-08-02T07:15:14Z

Consolidation of Devices/Channels/Plot into ConfigWindow left the Settings button wired to a method that no longer exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

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.

Major control panel improvements.

2026-08-02T05:02:14Z

- Added dedicated firmware file for arduino - Added View button to consolidate windows - Control Panel changes: - Changed name fron "Controls" to "Control Panel" - Blue side bar when Panel is hidden. - Supports "popping" out contorl panel - Settings > Advanced tab added with developer settings

Rename LabDAQ → LabUI and overhaul plugin system

2026-08-02T01:06:36Z

Branding: - Rename app, window title, file extension (.labdaq → .labui), user data dirs (~/.labui/), spec file (labdaq.spec → labui.spec), and APP_NAME throughout all source, docs, and config files Plugin system: - Plugins no longer bundled in the PyInstaller build — installed at runtime by users via Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin (zip) - PluginManager now takes user_dir + extra_scan_dirs; user plugins live in ~/.labui/plugins/, dev scan additionally covers project plugins/ - install_from_zip / uninstall / is_user_installed added to PluginManager - vendor/ dir inside plugin zips: prepended to sys.path at load time so plugins can ship their own deps without requiring pip on end-user machine - source_url field in manifest.json: shown as Download button in the missing-plugins dialog when a profile requires an absent plugin - Frozen-app pip install now targets ~/.labui/plugin_packages/ using a real system Python (sys.executable is the exe in frozen builds) Profile loading: - Profile now stores plugins_manifest snapshot (id, name, version, source_url) alongside plugins_enabled - On load, missing or dep-broken plugins trigger MissingPluginsDialog before the rest of the profile is applied; user can install from zip or download via source_url in-dialog, or cancel the load - Plugin reconciliation only enables installed plugins — missing ones are not written to enabled.json UI: - Version label added to status bar (bottom-right, muted colour) - Settings → Plugins tab: Install Plugin… button, per-plugin Remove button for user-installed plugins, live list refresh after install/remove Docs: - New docs/building.md covers the full release pipeline - docs/plugin-development.md updated for new install flow, vendoring, source_url, profile behaviour, and distribution instructions Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6
