2026-09-19Redesign Signal/Channel naming and fix pin-remap breaking referencesChristian Kolset
Arduino analog Signal ids used to be the pin name itself, so fixing a wrong pin silently changed the id and orphaned any plot trace, control, or filter pipeline pointing at it. Analog Signal ids are now positional (ai0, ai1, ...) and decoupled from the underlying pin, matching how digital I/O already worked. More broadly, formalizes a Device -> Signal -> Channel -> Plot naming model (SignalConfig for physical device channels, Channel for derived/ computed ones) and adds core/reference_registry.py to propagate any Signal or Channel id rename through plot traces, controls, and filter pipelines instead of leaving them dangling. Signal ids are now editable in the Signals tab with the same propagation. .labui profile schema bumped to v2.0 with a transparent migration for old files, including remapping old pin-name Signal ids to the new positional ones. Removed six confirmed-dead files (two legacy device classes, four superseded top-level ui/ duplicates).
2026-08-13Channels tab drag-to-reorder, Namespace absolute references, fix stale ↵Christian Kolset
Channel ID renames Generalized the Plot pane drag-to-reorder (_PaneDragHandle/_PlotDropContainer -> _DragHandle/_DragReorderContainer) and reused it for the Channels tab's derived-channel list; reordering also updates SignalProcessor's evaluation order (list order matters for chained Channels) via new reorder_derived(). Namespace panel: added an ID column (bare channel_id, matching the actual channels.get(...) script convention) and fixed the Source column for Channels to show resolved absolute references (dev_id/ch_id for a Signal, bare id for a chained Channel) instead of the operation kind, so a chain is traceable by eye. Fixed a real bug this surfaced: renaming a Channel's ID never propagated to other Channels' sources, leaving dangling ("derived", old_id) references that silently stopped updating. Added SignalProcessor.rename_derived() to fix up sources plus carry the ring buffer/latest-value cache to the new key, wired to DerivedBlock's Apply.

2026-08-10Unify Signals/Channels around auto-naming, plot-by-channel, and shared varsChristian Kolset
Devices: auto-name from OS-reported port description (Device Manager / udev string) instead of a generic label; default Serial #Channels 1; consistent simulate-mode checkbox across backends; inline device rename. Channels: calibration/filters move out of Signals into a Channel "Operation" (adds Scale/Offset alongside the existing math kinds); single-physical-source Channels get an embedded Filters block; new Channels auto-name/auto-ID from their source and reject duplicate names/IDs on apply; "Create Channel" button on each Signal row; renamed "Sources" -> "Signals" in the Channels UI; Signals' READ/WRITE dir badge (was silently-broken IN/OUT) now reflects the real writable flag. Plot: default layout is one pane per Channel (not per device, not raw Signals) titled by channel name; "+ Add Channel" is a checkbox dialog instead of an inline dropdown; traces get up/down reorder; live unit changes (e.g. a Mark-10 gauge switching lb/kgF/N/ozF) propagate to an open pane's axis label without clobbering a manually-typed one. Control Panel: hardware assignment now picks from the same writable- Signals list instead of a separate device/channel combo with a hardcoded Arduino pin list; stale visual indicator when a control's target device/channel disconnects or disappears; documented the `vars` bridge (Control Panel On Action Script <-> Channel scripts) in both directions' help text and script templates.

2026-07-29Rework channel labeling and add source picker to virtual-channel creationChristian Kolset
Relabel every channel picker/header to "NAME (DEVICE/SIGNAL)" instead of the previous "DEVICE/SIGNAL (NAME)" ordering, consistently across channels_window.py (_channel_combo, ChannelPickerDialog, ChannelPipelineBlock header), plot_builder.py, plot_config.py, control_editor.py, and plot_window.py. While touching each of those pickers, added the missing `.enabled` filter that _make_picker()/_x_cb/_build_channel_picker lacked (the default-layout builders already filtered disabled channels; these manual "add channel to pane" pickers didn't). Devices window Signals tab: removed the separate "Signal ID" column (folded into the existing non-editable Device column instead of the editable Name column, to avoid corrupting the in-place channel rename feature that column already supports). Channels window Virtual Channels pane: added a "Source" dropdown next to "+ Add Channel" — picking a source pre-seeds the new derived channel with it via DerivedBlock._add_src(); leaving it on the default "none" entry keeps today's behavior of creating an empty channel. Note: docs/ToDo.md's "Channels window UI" items referred to the *live* UI (this window's PipelineTab + the Devices window's Signals tab), not SignalsListTab in this same file, which its own module docstring flags as dead/unused code kept only for old-profile compatibility — verified by grepping for any instantiation of it (none exist).

2026-06-09Derived channels: signal display names as vars, auto-update template code, ↵Christian Kolset
None op - Variable names derived from signal display name (e.g. "Acceleration X" → acceleration_x) instead of raw channel ID; all auto-names lowercase with underscores - Template code auto-updates x[0]/x[1] refs to named vars as sources are added/changed; stops updating once user edits the code manually - Derivative wrt-channel mode uses separate template with x[1] substituted to channel var - Added "None" passthrough operation (result = x[0]) - source_names persisted in .labdaq profiles Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-09Fix custom_script execution + add templates for expression/function kindsChristian Kolset
- custom_script now uses exec-style (assign to `result`) matching the built-in templates — previously auto-wrapped in def compute() which had no return statement, causing state and channel vars to silently fail - function kind unchanged: auto-wraps body as def compute(x,t); use return - Add SCRIPT_TEMPLATES for expression, function, custom_script kinds; shown automatically when user switches to a script kind (replacing stale code from previous kind) - New channels default to template when no saved code exists Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-09Channels: inject variable names as comment in code editor, fix derivative wrtChristian Kolset
- Variable names now appear as a live '# Variables: A0 = x[0] · ...' comment at the top of the code editor (function, custom_script, and built-in read-only templates); updates on every source add/remove/change - Derivative 'With Respect To' channel combo now included in variable list as x[1] when channel mode is selected - _apply() strips the auto-generated comment before saving the script so it doesn't pollute the stored expression Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-09Channels: live variable-name hint in code editor updates with sourcesChristian Kolset
When sources are added, removed, or changed in the derived channel editor, the code group now shows a live "Variables: A0 = x[0] · encoder = x[1]" hint above the code editor so users know the exact names to use in scripts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <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>
2026-06-09Channels/Signals UX: rename labels, calibration section, splitter, sig# IDsChristian Kolset
Naming conventions: - Devices window: "Channel ID" column → "Signal ID" - Serial device auto-gen IDs: CH# → sig# (generic, SCPI, Modbus fallbacks) - Channels window physical section: "Physical Channels" → "Signals" - Channels window virtual section: "Virtual Channels" → "Channels" - "Add Virtual" button → "Add Channel" - New derived channel default name: "Virtual Channel #" → "Channel #" Signals panel (ChannelPipelineBlock): - Remove Calibrate header button; add inline Calibration section in body - Remove Math section (Derivative/Integral) entirely - scale_offset excluded from filter dropdown; routed to Calibration section - Existing pipelines: scale_offset loads into Calibration, math filters dropped - _FILTER_KEYS excludes derivative, integral, scale_offset Splitter default position: - Left (Signals) pane initialised to minimum content width via QTimer.singleShot - setStretchFactor(0,0) / (1,1): left stays narrow, right grows on resize Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Changed dialog text window from channels to signals for clarityChristian Kolset
2026-06-03Make Devices, Channels, Plot windows maximizableChristian Kolset
Remove Qt.WindowType.Tool flag — it suppresses the maximize button. Window now has standard chrome with minimize/maximize/close. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Redesign Channels window: side-by-side layout, picker dialog, collapsible ↵Christian Kolset
virtual blocks Physical channels panel: horizontal splitter (left/right), channel picker dialog replaces dropdown, Filters and Math sections per block, Calibrate button, pipeline-enabled checkbox removed. Virtual channels: collapsible blocks, enable checkbox removed, kind dropdown removed (defaults to expression). Window resized to 1400×820. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-06-03Fix derivative sources visibility; code editor monospace + 4-space tabsChristian Kolset
- Always insert one source row for derivative/second_derivative on build - Guard in _on_kind: add row when switching to derivative with no sources - Code editor: monospace font (IBM Plex Mono/Consolas fallback) - Code editor: tab stop = 4 character widths 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>
