A new version of iLC is now available for download from the Download section of this website. Users will need to Register and Login before downloading.
This version addresses usability concerns that became apparent during our recent visit to China. In particular difficulties encountered with poor Internet connectivity (for version checking and updating) have been resolved. Furthermore issues with scaling in some file format conversions have been addressed.
Most visible changes are the expanded Home Screen layout (to provide room for additional features planned in version 1.4) and a more logical process flow from System Modelling through to Iteration. More information on Desired Response file characteristics and Auto Filter status are available on the Home Screen without needing to go into the menu structure.
Rig characteristics are now called out in a separate screen panel preparatory to two big changes planned for version 1.4 – the ability to store rig configuration and limits information in separate configuration files, and the ability to read channel information and limits directly from compatible controllers to reduce set up time for new tests.
Finally the Coherence Weighting and Gain Autoscale features added in version 1.3.3 have been removed as a revised internal scaling algorithm has rendered these features redundant. iLC now provides more stable convergence across a wide range of input/output scales.
This is the final slipstream release for level 1.3 of iLC. We hope to release Version 1.4 later in the autumn together with a list of compatible controller hardware. We also have exciting plans for convergence of iLC with a market-leading design and fatigue management platform!
