Release Notes

New Releases

• The settings dialog now persists for the users applied search filter
• There is now a help link for the spec panel. It goes here:

https://www.adinstruments.com/support/documentation/using-spectral-analysis-panel

Improvements

• Analytics button placement has been moved to next to the Content Library button
• Updated the style of the create course button to be more obvious

Fixes

• The title for the spectral analysis panel now appears in the analytics dashboard
• Fixed an issue in LTI integration when using Canvas' Link Selection Placement

Technical

• KCDA v1.10.2 - a new SSL certificate valid for the next year is available. The SSL certificate is used to secure the communications between Lt and KCDA. KCDA v1.10.0 and earlier have a certificate which expires 2021-10-22, at which point the older versions of KCDA will stop working with Lt. Customers performing manual updates of KCDA will need to update by 2021-10-22. Then automatic KCDA updates will happen when the computer is rebooted, or overnight

The Chemistry Collection was developed in partnership with Vernier and originally consisted of 19 Distance Learning labs, designed and released during the pandemic. We are now completing the collection by adding a further 19 labs, which address the same topics but are designed for in-lab use. The labs in the collection address fundamental introductory General Chemistry topics, and the majority (17/19) use Vernier's Go Direct sensors to collect data in Lt. All of the labs have some form of example data to enable flexible teaching.

New Releases

• Lt Sensor settings have been added to the Settings library for authors to use when creating their own lessons, also to configure the Data Sampling panel

Improvements

• Update hardware reset workflow to make sense for SpectroVis
• The Edit lesson button in the module card now navigates you directly to the lesson card

Technical

• KCDA 1.9.1 with support for Lt Sensors. This includes some minor improvements to Vernier device support
• Lt now supports sampling with Lt Sensors. Sampling with Lt Sensors requires KCDA 1.9.1 or higher. If you have KCDA installed, it will update automatically, unless automatic updates have been turned off. KCDA 1.9.1 is a recommended update, but for sites updating manually, Lt will continue to work with KCDA 1.8.1 until it is convenient to update
