WinPCD Web Site Update

My web site has some updates to provide a more useful layout with a few changes. The index page has been made into two with release history separate. The index is more a short description, taken from the program About page. At the bottom will be any topics of discussion that I think will be informat...

WinPCD v1.612 - Inductor Listing Form

I've added a new form window that the user can call up from the System page. It displays a set of csv file data with inductor info by manufacturer/vendor. It shows the inductor value/DCR (mH/ohms). This should make it easier to finalize a design with actual inductors, especially for the DCR values t...

Re: WinPCD v1.61 Discussion Thread

Another update. My problem had to do with an error on my part in the code, resolved now. So we're back to not knowing the source or your problem, Maynard. I have learned a lot more about the ClickOnce install impact. The version is installed in the User area. If you install with a previous version s...

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

FYI, I've been working on another change. Runs fine through Visual Studio, but the new version will not run at all on installation of a published version. Found many cases of similar problems over the years with Windows 10 and apps via Google. Has to do with the kernelbase.dll file evidently. I've b...

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

Another idea occurred to me. The way the ClickOnce works, it installs based on program version. If you installed, but then couldn't run WinPCD v1.610, try v1.611 (install bugfix only) or vice-versa.

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

Looks like the uninstall shows up as a right-click option in the Start menu. WinPCD installs in the User area, is in the Start menu under SpeakerDesign folder as will my other programs, WinGraph, etc. Try selecting the uninstall option from there to see if it clears it. After deleting the folder in ...

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

I'm researching this some more. Found the issue going back to 2006 for various reasons. Some exactly as yours, worked fine for some time, then one day won't run with that same error message number. If I understand the error report it relates to System.Runtime.InteropServices.COM, why I don't yet kno...

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

This seems to be one of the occasional issues with the Windows ClickOnce installation. I reproduced a similar one on my PC. I had been doing tests with several installs and not uninstalling beforehand. There may be other ways it can occur. I think that the uninstall isn't always clean. The error I g...

Re: WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

Something that I failed to note in the Help for the Polar Plot section. The graphs are not normalized. The outermost graph ring is set to 90db, so anything higher than that will plot outside. Most graphs show normalized response, but I decided that being able to see the movement in/out with sensitiv...

WinPCD v1.611 is now available. No code changes to 1.610. This has an install fix. If you have 1.610 working now, ignore this one.

WinPCD v1.610 Discussion Thread

I'm starting this to have a thread for any questions or comments related to this release to make it easier to keep track of them. Except for any bug fixes that are reported there is no plan for changes in the near future. I still have ideas for WinPCD, but those will take quite some time to develop,...

Re: WinGraph measurement file graph tool

A new version of WinGraph (v1.003) is available. I was using it while adding some functionality to WinPCD. I needed to frequently load output files as part of testing and found it cumbersome. So now it's improved. I added drag-n-drop for both individual files and folders. You can also delete a curve...

Re: Welcome to the new WinPCD forum!

Thanks for noting this. I don't know why I don't get notifications on posts as I should. I've corrected it. Extension is htm, not html. I think I must have changed it at some point, didn't recall it being listed here. At one time the "standard" was to have the 3-digit extension htm, but I ...
