Spectrum View - Allows frequency analysis of frequency distribution of component sine waves with Power Spectral Density (PSD) and Spectrogram plots.  Plots can be viewed in online or offline modes. 

The PSD and Spectrogram plots

The spectrum parameters can be continuously displayed in LabChart channels and exported to Data Pad.  Spectrum parameters include:
total power percentage total power maximum power minimum power maximum power frequency	minimum power frequency mean power frequency median power frequency standard deviation frequency spectral edge frequency

New Stimulator - Provides complete control over stimulation patterns, frequency, duration and triggering options. Two independent stimulus outputs can be generated simultaneously.  Preconfigured stimulus waveforms available include Arithmetic, Pulse, Step Pulse, Biphasic Pulse, Double Pulse, Ramp, Sine and Triangle.  You can also generate and save custom stimulus waveforms.

Use preset waveforms, or customize your own

Feature Manager - Browse and obtain any of ADInstruments software from one interface. Software updates can be manually or automatically performed to alert you about new versions of LabChart, LabChart Extensions and LabChart Modules.

Improved Help Center (Win only) - LabChart 7 ‘Help Center’ now distinguishes between online software and hardware PDF documentation. Most LabChart Modules now come with a ‘Getting Started Tutorial’ to guide you through each module’s features using either your own data file or a supplied sample data file.

‘Cyclic Measurements’ for Windows and Macintosh - ‘Cyclic Variables’ in Macintosh is now replaced with ‘Cyclic Measurements’. ‘Cyclic Measurements’ features a wide range of statistics and functions to analyze periodic or cyclic signals. Calculations include rate, period, frequency, mean, minimum, maximum, 1/3 maximum + 2/3 minimum, height, integral, variance, minimum derivative and maximum derivative

Select/Every Option for ‘Time Add to Data Pad’ (Win only) - The new Select/Every option available in ‘Time Add to Data Pad’ provides greater flexibility when making selections during recording. In addition, data selections around Scope events can be made using the new Scope mode.

Key features of LabChart:

Variable Sampling Speeds – Integrated recordings are easier with the ability to vary sampling speeds across different channels in the same LabChart file. You can simultaneously record different signals using the appropriate sampling speed for each signal in the same data file.

General Features:

• Fast and easy set up using the Channel Settings dialog.
  
• Data Pad allows you to reselect LabChart data corresponding to Data Pad rows, recalculate Data Pad rows and replace Data Pad rows.
  
• Flexible triggering and stimulation options.
  
  
• Use preconfigured stimulus waveforms.  Generate and save custom stimulus waveforms.
• Generate two independent stimulus outputs simultaneously using PowerLab 30 series units.
• Addition of comments during or after recording.
• Auto Scale allows the user to scale data automatically for all displayed channels.
• Data Pad provides a powerful and easy means of extracting experimental data. Users can log any raw or calculated signal from any channel into the Data Pad. The addition of values can be automated prior to recording using 'Timed Add to Data Pad'.
  
• OLE capabilities allow LabChart for Windows users to export data from the LabChart window or the Data Pad to Excel or any OLE compatible software. Any changes in LabChart can be set to automatically update data in Excel.
• Right-clicking (Control-Clicking for Macintosh users) allows you to access commands for many LabChart features.
• To view data in detail LabChart display options include Overlay, Zoom View, DVM Windows, XY View and 3D Depth Overlay feature.
  
  
• The Split bar feature allows the user to divide the display area and allow the user to review and compare previously recorded data with that being acquired.
  
• Disk buffering protects your recording even in the event of a power failure by automatically storing data in a buffer.
