Hi All,

This is to announce the release of ScopeFIR 5.0, which is a
comprehensive Windows tool for designing, analyzing and modifying
complex Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. See
http://www.iowegian.com/scopefir for more information.

In addition to its prior features, which include the FIR filter design
methods of Parks-McClellan, Windowed Sinc, Raised Cosine, Lth Band, and
CIC, ScopeFIR 5 provides the following new features:

- Minimum Phase Design. (This is the most-requested new feature!)
- New quantization methods for designing filters with fixed-point
coefficients to create quantized FIRs whose response more closely match
the original filter
- User-specified constraints on the number of taps, such as even/odd or
a multiple of some value. This is particularly useful in multirate
applications
- Export design data to HTML, which allows you to easily and fully
document your FIR filter design by importing the HTML into your document.
- Coefficient histogram
- Additional plot styles: stem, bar, and stair

For more about what's new in ScopeFIR 5, see
http://www.iowegian.com/fir/help/intro_whatsnew5.

The ScopeFIR distribution file also includes the following free goodies:
- A comprehensive set of example FIR filter design projects
- fir_algs.c: a free and open FIR filter algorithm library in C
- multirate_algs.c: a free and open collection of C algorithms for FIR
decimation, interpolation, and resampling

You can download and try ScopeFIR free for 30 days from
http://www.iowegian.com/download. New registrations for ScopeFIR
Professional cost just US $299. Registered users of previous versions
can upgrade to 5.0 for just $149. Please see
http://www.iowegian.com/purchase for details.

thanks,

Grant

It seems excellent!

Interesting. I wonder how much revenue it can generate. I wrote a
Python and QT based tool for my own use and basically does the same
thing. I should probably make an exe and sell it for $29.99.

I know what you mean. It all seemed so easy when I started writing
ScopeFIR in 1997... ;-)

There's more work than that in the help system.
