DipTrace 2.4.0.2 Update: A Mixed Bag of Issues and Solutions

The latest DipTrace 2.4.0.2 update has brought both relief and frustration to users. While it addressed some long-standing problems, it also introduced new issues that were not present before. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the experience of running DipFix.exe and DipTrace Launcher, as well as the problems encountered with component libraries in the new schematic design.

Running DipFix.exe and DipTrace Launcher without Issues

Fortunately, if you run the DipFix.exe and then launch the DipTrace Launcher, everything works perfectly. This suggests that the update has indeed fixed some underlying issues, which is a welcome development for users who were experiencing problems.

Component Libraries: A Mixed Bag of Successes and Failures

However, there's another issue to contend with. When creating a new schematic design, some component libraries are not displayed as expected. Specifically, certain libraries provided by DipTrace itself remain blank, even though they should be available for use. This is evident from the attached picture, which shows that devices from Allegro can be accessed, but those from Atmel are not visible.

Error Messages and Memory Leaks

The error associated with this issue has an error chime, but it's so brief that the process 'audiodg.exe' continues to grow in memory footprint. This is because DipFix.exe spawns an endless error message about an 'Invalid floating point operation'. Unfortunately, this means you can no longer launch the component editor.

While the 2.4.0.2 update has brought some improvements, it's also introduced new issues that were not present before. Users who experienced problems with previous versions may still be struggling to get the most out of DipTrace. In particular, the issue with component libraries and the error messages related to 'Invalid floating point operations' are major concerns.

As users continue to navigate these challenges, it's essential for the developers behind DipTrace to address these issues promptly to ensure a smoother user experience. For now, we can only hope that future updates will bring relief from these problems and provide a more stable and reliable platform for designers and engineers.
