TIDA 5.0x

New Features
Supports EPC 9 Rev. D TIDA 5 supports the new generation (revision D) of the EPC 9 amplifier.
New STM commands The compensation functions Cfast and Cslow, activated normally from the EPC9-Window, may now be called out of a STM protocol via commands CFASTAUTO and CSLOWAUTO.
Automatic Rs compensation The automatic RS compensation of the EPC 9 is now supported.
Higher stability Higher stability is reached, when TIDA running under both Windows9x and Windows NT, due to some corrections and improvements

Release date:

TIDA 4.11

Known Bugs
Rs compensation does not work The automatic Rs compensation of the EPC 9 patch clamp amplifier does not work properly with TIDA 4.11.
EPC 9 revision D is not supported The most recent revision D of our patch clamp amplifier EPC 9 is not supported. While the EPC 9 Single can be used with some limitations, the EPC 9 Double is not recognized by the software, and can therefore NOT be used with TIDA 4.11.
Short-cuts do not work The short-cuts for the positioning of the Windows in TIDA do not work.
"Unstimulated Acquisition" only in VC mode The unstimulated acquisition only works in voltage clamp mode, not in current clamp mode, and therefore cannot be used for membrane potential recordings.
Printing with WinNT After printing on a Windows NT system, the TIDA acquisition window is not correctly drawn (wrong colors). One has to restart TIDA.
Slide controls are not "fixed" to the panel The slide controls, which can be used to change gain, Rs, LJ, and so on, are not properly fixed to the amplifier control panel. If the panel is moved, the slide controls "get lost".
