In March, 2007, Iowegian International Corporation released Version 4.1 of ScopeFIR™, the DSP professional's FIR filter design tool of choice.
ScopeFIR 4 includes the following new features:
- Maxflat Design. ScopeFIR 4 can design lowpass FIR filters with a maximally flat passband, as described by Kaiser.
- Cascaded Integrator-Comb (CIC) Design. ScopeFIR 4 can design CIC filters, which are widely used in hardware-based multirate applications.
- Boxcar Design. ScopeFIR 4 adds boxcar filter design as an option to its "Import" project type.
- Dolph-Chebyshev Window. ScopeFIR 4 adds the powerful Dolph-Chebyshev window to its stable of data window types.
- Blackman-Harris 7-Term Window. (New in version 4.1)
- Plot Zooming via the mouse wheel.
ScopeFIR 4 also has many improvements:
- Parks-McClellan algorithm: ScopeFIR 4's improved Parks-McClellan algorithm converges on the most extreme FIR designs even better than before!
- Optimization algorithm: ScopeFIR 4 can optimize an even wider range of filter designs.
- Help system: ScopeFIR 4's help system has been completely revised.
- Lth-Band filter design: Improved zero-izing in version 4.1.
- File Formats: Fractional text formats now support a user-specified word length. (New in version 4.1)
- ScopeFIR 4 contains a host of other improvements:
- Improved Frequency Response Lists
- Better error messages
- Lots of small user-interface refinements
The ScopeFIR 4 distribution file includes the following new free goodies:
- fir_algs.c: a free and open collection of FIR filter algorithms to help you implement FIR filters in C.
- multirate_algs.c: a free and open collection of multirate FIR filter algorithms to help you implement FIR decimators, interpolators, and resamplers in C.
- A comprehensive set of example ScopeFIR project files to get you started on FIR designs of all types.
