IMPULSE

[ssesselmann]

Impulse code completely refactored

This version has been a major rewrite, I initially set out to make a few small changes to speed up the program and make it less demanding on the CPU, but as things go, one thing led to another and I ended up refactoring the whole thing, to the point where my wife now hates Impulse 😱. I could spend more time testing and looking for bugs, but I'm sure some of you guys will find them and let me know.

Main Changes

1. All settings are stored in global variables and saved to _settings.json and _user.json every time a change is made.
2. The old hidden SQL settings file has gone, so you may need to re-enter your details and API-KEY (sorry)
3. Everything associated with impulse is stored in ~/impulse_data_2.0
4. There has not been any change to the json data files so you can safely transfer your old spectra to the new folder.
5. Impulse now remembers all settings from prior run when you open it
6. I have added a new feature with Isotope flags
7. During recording data is now saved to memory and only written to json once every 60 seconds or when stopped

Help: Please report any bugs 🐞 found ASAP so I can fix them.

Mac version and windows version attached.

This version works with Gammaspectacular sound card spectrometers and Atom-Nano serial devices.
