2026-07-29Check plugin dependencies before loading, warn instead of silent console errorChristian Kolset
manifest.json already had an unused "requires" field (motion_capture's manifest lists opencv-python>=4.8.0) — PluginManifest never parsed it, so a missing dependency just crashed the import inside _load_plugin(), caught by the broad except and only ever printed to the console. Adds PluginManifest.requires, PluginManager.missing_requirements()/ get_missing_dependencies(), and an early check in _load_plugin() that skips the risky import entirely when a requirement is missing. main_window.plugin_enable() now checks this before calling PluginManager.enable() and shows a QMessageBox with the missing packages and a pip install command instead of failing silently. Checks by distribution name via importlib.metadata (what pip installed it as), not import name — those differ for packages like opencv-python (imports as cv2) or pyserial (imports as serial), so importlib.util. find_spec() would give false negatives. Also fixes a button-state bug this surfaces: SettingsWindow's plugin toggle optimistically flipped to "Disable" the instant Enable was clicked, before knowing whether enabling actually succeeds — pre-existing, but now trivially reproducible (any plugin missing a dependency). Enable no longer flips the button immediately; main_window calls the new sync_plugin_button() once the real outcome is known. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-09Scripting: named signal vars, shared vars dict, control scripts, code templatesChristian Kolset
- Named variables in expressions: source channel IDs injected as Python identifiers alongside x[] (e.g. write `A0 * 2` instead of `x[0] * 2`) - Shared `vars` dict on SignalProcessor accessible from all expressions, functions, and control scripts; persisted in .labdaq profiles - Per-derived-channel `state` dict for persistent computation state in custom scripts - Control widgets gain optional on_action_script (Python snippet with value, vars, channels, math in scope); syntax-checked in editor dialog - Built-in derived kinds (derivative, rms, power, etc.) now show their Python implementation as read-only code previews; "Edit as Custom Script" converts to custom_script kind with template pre-filled Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Fix virtual channels not appearing in Plot BuilderChristian Kolset
Root cause: PlotWindow deepcopied _chart._cfg on init, so refresh_channels() operated on a stale copy. Also, when _win_plot was None, _on_derived_changed did nothing to prepare the config for when it opened. Fix: - refresh_channels() now owns the derived-pane sync: adds panes for new virtual channels (updating BSP tree), removes panes for deleted ones - _open_plot always passes current _chart._cfg reference then calls refresh_channels() so derived panes sync on every open - _on_derived_changed syncs cfg reference before calling refresh_channels() Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Apply saved settings (theme, poll rate) on startupChristian Kolset
Loaded settings were never consumed — theme defaulted to dark and poll interval stayed at 100 ms regardless of what was saved to disk. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Persist settings per-computer; add Reset to Defaults in General tabChristian Kolset
- New core/app_settings.py: load/save settings.json to platform config dir (Windows: %APPDATA%, Linux: ~/.config, macOS: ~/Library/Application Support) - MainWindow loads saved settings on startup, saves on every Apply & Close - Settings survive profile switches and app restarts independently of profiles - Settings > General: Reset to Defaults button with QMessageBox confirmation Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Rename signals_window.py → channels_window.py; update docstringChristian Kolset
Reflects current design: split Physical/Virtual Channels layout, no tabs, no legacy Signals list as primary UI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Sync Channels window with device/channel changesChristian Kolset
- Remove redundant Signals tab from Channels window; PipelineTab is now direct content - PipelineTab removes stale blocks when devices are removed or reconfigured - Devices>Signals tab refreshes automatically on device add/remove/configure - Channel name and unit edits in Devices>Signals propagate live to Channels pipeline block headers; missing blocks auto-added if channel is enabled Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Fix settings/plugin window bugs; remove example pluginChristian Kolset
- Add missing QGroupBox import to settings_window (caused silent crash on open) - Remove Controls tab and _controls_tab() method from settings - Clamp child window positions to screen bounds so they don't go off-screen on Windows when main window is maximized - Apply same screen-clamp fix to Motion Capture plugin window - Delete example plugin; disable it in enabled.json Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Added Motion Capture pluginChristian Kolset
Tracks a user-selected point via webcam (OpenCV CSRT tracker) and streams x_pos / y_pos pixel coordinates as live channels into the acquisition pipeline. Falls back to a Lissajous figure simulation when opencv-python is not installed, so the plugin works immediately without hardware. - tracker.py: background thread, real camera + sim modes, thread-safe API - device.py: BaseDevice reading x/y from tracker, wires into engine - filter.py: custom pixel_to_mm filter (registered in FILTER_CLASSES) - window.py: floating tool window, live feed, click-to-track ROI selection - plugin.py: LabPlugin wiring all pieces together, toolbar button, settings widget, profile save/restore Also: PluginAction.button_ref_callback lets plugins store a ref to their toolbar button so they can uncheck it when their window closes. opencv-python install note added to requirements.txt.

2026-06-03Added plugin/add-on systemChristian Kolset
Plugins live in plugins/<name>/ with a manifest.json and a LabPlugin subclass. Enabled/disabled in Settings > Plugins tab; state persists in plugins/enabled.json and in .labdaq profiles (loading a profile enables/disables plugins to match). Plugins can contribute toolbar buttons, BaseDevice instances (auto-wired into acquisition pipeline), custom signal filter classes, a settings widget, and profile state via get_save_state/apply_save_state. Load errors now report the exact failing stage (file not found, class missing, on_load crash). Includes example plugin skeleton and docs/plugin-development.md.
