Python Source compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.7

The Python source code is now compatible with both Python 2.7 and 3.7 and can be run from either version.

Major changes to the Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS) function to streamline the configuration and make the settings more automatic.

Other miscellaneous improvements:
Added low pass filter option to triggering
Gated measurement cursors now show delta time and frequency
Digital filters now include built in Box Car filter controls
Mouse wheel now scrolls gated measurement cursors

Fixed old bug due to libsmu change that never made it into the meter-source tool 1.3

Add new triggering mode.

Creates a new triggering mode. The existing Single Shot trigger function was renamed Manual Trigger to better reflect what it does. New functionality for Single Shot trigger for use with AWG Sync off, now works as follows. After clicking Single Shot Triggering the system is armed and will wait for trigger event, ( screen is refreshing with un-triggered data ), when trigger occurs single sweep of data is displayed from trigger event and sweeping is stopped. To re-arm for another single shot click on Single Shot Trigger again.

Reference traces on Bode screen for Impedance sweep of series R, X, Mag and Angle are now available.

Also minor changes to messages in firmware update to better reflect what happens and what the user needs to do to restart with newly flashed board.

Ohmmeter tool bug fixs and other stuff

Fixed Ohmmeter tool (in main Desktop) bug when started before having run another tool first.
Changed/added control label on AWG PWM Sine shape for pulse width entry.
Added Bust mode option to AWG waveforms. Can set number of cycles in a burst.
Fixed X Math axis typo
Add AM and FM modulated sine waveform shapes to AWG CH A.
Other miscellaneous clean-up as well.

This is possibly the last update to Python 2.7 version. Version for Python 3.7 (and higher) is in the works.

Update of Libiio version

This update of the libiio version adds more features and changes to bring ALICE 2 for M2k more in line with the capabilities of ALICE 1.3 for M1k.

Include software input divider frequency compensation to calibrate out hardware RC mismatch errors.

Still unresolved issue with not being able to self calibrate after Scopy has been run, without doing a power down in between.

First full release of version 1.3

In addition to general house keeping and for backward compatibility with 2.16 firmware.
Fixed a bunch of things in the external analog mux routines that were not working correctly in continuous mode.
Added new Pulse wave shape which allows pulse width to be adjusted (in time units) rather than duty cycle in percent.

Another Pre-Release of ALICE 1.3 Tools

This is another pre-release of ALICE 1.3 pending release of master versions of new Firmware update and Libsmu.

This add a bunch of new features and fixes / cleans up a bunch of other stuff.

New Datalogger tool combines strip chart tool and DC meter source tool.

Pre-Release of New Version 1.3

This is the initial pre-release of the new version 1.3 of ALICE Desktop that supports new 200 KSPS modes.
It requires new firmware version 2.17 (or higher) and new libsmu version that supports new 200 KSPS modes.
Windows executable installer contain copy of new firmware file. It also contains the modified libsmu library.

Minor Clean-up

This is perhaps the final release of version 1.2 including minor clean-up of source code in anticipation of official release of new version 1.3 of ALICE Desktop

Changes to Impedance Analyzer

In the Impedance Analyzer either the series RLC or parallel RLC model values can be calculated and displayed. Also it is now possible to select either the internal AWG A source or an external source.

In the Bode Plotter the use of the minigen DDS sine source as the sweep generator is now fully implemented.

The bug in the initial start-up of the Bode plots and Spectrum analyzer has been fixed.

Seems that AWG buffer lengths longer than 32768 samples sometimes cause the low level library functions to hang when stopping and restarting session.

Other Misc. clean-up as well.

Minor Bug Fixes and clean-up

Fixed some keyboard binding to work with Linux vs Windows
Fixed phase controls for Up-Down Ramp waveform in AWG
Fixed start up bug in Strip Chart Tool.
