HortControl 3.3 release – Max Height, Snapshot, Reprocessing & more
At Phenospex we are continuously working on improving our products. Today we are happy to announce a new HortControl release, which improves the usability and will increase your phenotyping productivity. Here is a short overview
- Reprocess your experiments with different settings
- New plant parameter: Height Max
- New tools: Snapshot & Show last scan
New plant parameter “Height max”.
Our height parameter reflects an adjusted height. Mathematically we cut a little part of the top to make this parameter reliable and constant. This way the parameter is less susceptible to wind or other unstable situations. There are times, however, that you want the true plant height. In HortControl check the parameter list for “Height max”.
“Snap Shot” a single measurement
Visualize the current status of your plants with the “Snapshot” function.
Reprocess 3D scans with different settings
Reprocess your entire experiment with new settings in 3D splitting, Color bin settings and more. Find better settings for your experiment or easily apply changes to the previous results.
Other updates
- Visualization and download of the 3D files in the data board offers a merged 3D file for dual scans instead of the master and slave scans
- The tooltip of the overview module in the data board is more informative
- Ply files are now removed from the system once an experiment is deleted in the system board. This is done to free up more space.
- Version info, contact details and a download link to the manual are provided in the top bar of all boards
- All the histograms of the units in the data board can be enlarged
To all release notes (since 3.2)
