Epson adds cartridge collection to recycle scheme
Epson is extending the box collection element of its Collect and Recycle initiative to include empty ink cartridges from its large format printers (LFPs).
In the company's opinion, that flexibility is the key differentiator between Tecplot 10 and competing data visualisation products, which restrict or limit the options users have to create the exact plot that they want.
Adept said that the most significant new feature of Tecplot 10 Release 3 is 64-bit support so that the product can now take advantage of the 64-bit operating systems from Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and Linux.
The main performance-related benefit of 64-bit computing is the ability to access more physical memory.
Users running Tecplot on 64-bit systems will be able to load files that previously exceeded the four gigabyte limit of 32-bit processors, added Adept.
Other new features of Tecplot 10 Release 3 include enhancements to the Add-on Developer's Kit (ADK) and the Tecplot GUI Builder (TGB) as well as new data loaders for loading Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) and CFD General Notation System (CGNS) data files.
The ADK is a set of documentation, tools and utilities that assist developers in the creation of Tecplot add-ons.
The TGB is a tool for generating platform-independent graphical user interface (GUI) code.
Users now have the ability to modify the entire menu system and replace the Tecplot sidebar.
Also new is support for bitmapped buttons in the TGB and enhanced development tools.
Together, Adept believes that the new options give application developers full control to implement the functions and user interface they desire.
Mike Peery, president and chief executive officer of Tecplot Inc, said: "The goal of this release, as with all of our releases, is to continue to provide our users with value-added improvements.
In the case of the new 64-bit support, we felt it was imperative that Tecplot takes advantage of the 64-bit operating systems because our customers continue increase the amount of data they are analysing." As for the other new features, each was made to increase the productivity of Tecplot users, Peery added.
Tecplot 10 Release 3 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and most UNIX workstations. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
