Enhancements in DASYLab V6 make it easy to document worksheets by inserting comments into individual modules or adding comments to areas of the worksheet.
Up to 256 characters can be used to more fully describe the use of the module in the worksheet.
When you open the context menu by right mouse clicking on the module, you will see a Module Documentation command.
The command opens a dialogue box that shows the module name, the short description and an edit area.
The worksheet can also be documented with Text Areas, permanently visible on the background of the flowchart.
Simply open the context menu by right mouse clicking on an empty part of the background.
It contains the commands to Edit, Create, Delete or Modify the Documentation Properties of the worksheet text areas.
You can create up to 256 areas, which can be placed everywhere in the flowchart, including within Black Boxes.
You can now save DASYLab worksheets in HTML format (*.HTM).
As with the *.TXT file format, it saves all components and settings as a readable text file, but it uses the HyperText Markup Language for structured text.
Hyperlinks are inserted to allow you to move around the file easily.
Also available as an option for V6 is the Harmonic Analysis module which makes it easy to monitor the odd and even harmonics within a signal.
