Sap Flow Tool 1.3 has been released. It is a major release which includes some of the most requested features to date: importing and visualising non-sap flow data (even non-ICT International data) and custom graphs for combining data from multiple sensors and/or files.

The new version can be downloaded here (including a demo version).

New features:

General

• NEW “visualise module”: custom graphs, display data from multiple sensors and files (even non-ICT International data).
• Value inspector slider on all graphs: shows numerical value of all curves at the slider position.
• Option to show DOY on graph x-axis.
• Ability to search in the user manual.

Files window

• Import any data file (sap flow calculations still limited to ICT International .csv and .bin files).
• Quick view graph: plot the currently selected item in the Files window.
• Batch import of multiple data files + drag & drop in the Files window.
• Batch export of multiple sensors.
• Auto-reimport exported data.
• Merge data from the same sensor in different files.
• Files window filter: show only items that match certain criteria.
• Move files up and down in the Files window.

Visualise module

• Custom graphs, display data from multiple sensors and files.
• Apply data filters to any curve on the graph.
• Export all data from the custom graphs.
• New example: sample 6, shows the use of custom graphs and non-sap flow data.

+ various other changes and enhancements

A paper on the use of Phyto-IT’s Sap Flow Tool, co-authored by Dirk De Pauw (Phyto-IT), has been published. This work was presented at the 7th International Workshop on Sap Flow which which was held in Seville, Spain from October 21th-24th 2008. The paper deals with the measurement, calculation and analysis of radial sap flow profiles.
