2026-07-29Merge branch 'feat/plugin-pip-install-prompt'Christian Kolset
2026-07-29Add Developer Mode setting, Debug window, and gate simulate behind itChristian Kolset
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.

2026-07-29Offer to pip install missing plugin dependencies instead of just warningChristian Kolset
Builds on the previous branch's dependency check: the missing-deps QMessageBox is now a Yes/No prompt. Yes runs a blocking `sys.executable -m pip install <reqs>` (subprocess.run, output captured), shows a result dialog, and on success proceeds straight to enabling the plugin — no need to click Enable a second time. Blocking is a deliberate simplification, not an oversight: this codebase has no worker-thread/progress-dialog pattern for slow operations anywhere else, so a threaded installer would be inconsistent with everything else here. pip install is a one-time, infrequent action, unlike e.g. a serial connect that runs constantly.

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.
