ALPHA DIC 2025 (ver. 2025.0.9)
Release date: 28.8.2025
Features:
- Record-specific offline methods, each with their own calibration
- Related major overhaul of offline method overview
- Related migration of legacy offline methods to a new format
- Results (previously named datasets) are now available for viewing
- Prediction of lost points for Trans-Lines
- Probe layout import
- Major overhaul of (RT) calibrations from ground up
- Addition of Camera Model management as a separate section
- Option to create Camera Model from a single image using focal length
- Added support of complex lens distortions to camera model calibration
- Calibration 2D/3D are both now a single wizard each
- Related naming changes (“simple” becomes “manual”, “standard” 3D vs. “composite” 3D distinction is no more)
- Calibration and model names are input when entering the wizard as a dialog, then shown in header
- “Adjust Rod Calibration” option becomes “Calibration Bar Check”
- Added more informational parameters about computed calibrations
- Minor overhaul of Vibrography Parameters (Point Probe frequency)
- Added Spectrum chart to RT methods, in PP only during computation
- Added support of AVT CameraLink Bonito
- Added IX i-SPEED7 high-speed camera support (for calibration or slow measurements only)
- Added working distance and specimen thickness to script data
- Added cylindrical computed values to Point Probes and DIC areas
- Added absolute positions to Point Probes
- Changed Bend Line full export, included individual segment strains
- Added Crack Probe linear strain threshold
- Removed Optris thermal camera support (PIXConnect input + embedded view remains)
- Removed edge detection with ambient lighting
- Removed support of multi-plane 2D calibrations
- Removed Multi-Camera license module
- Removed Y-axis inversion in manual 2D
- Removed 3D coordinate system “adjustment” in 3D calibrations
- Anchor Point moved from Research license module to Axial module
- Detect DIC Area feature moved from Research license module to DIC Area module
- New License Bundles – Alpha DIC 2D / Alpha DIC 3D
