What's new in 4.1 software core

The following features have been added to the Inspector software core that improve handling and performance:

  • GPU (via CUDA) support is added to allow calculations to be done on the GPU. Inspector automatically determines if it is faster to run a calculation on the GPU. This provides a significant performance boast for the intensive calculations performed in side channel analysis. 
  • A text file log is created when a module is run to save the settings that are used. This log is viewable from the GUI.
  • A reset button is added for all modules to enable returning to the default settings of the module.
  • Module files are always saved as UTF-8 regardless of system settings, to allow compiling of modules on systems with non UTF-8 settings.
  • The correlation module can handle more that 64bits simultaneously.
  • Lower sample rates can be selected on the Picoscope 5000.
  • Support is added for a negative delay using the Picscope 5000.
  • icWaves can be configured from a menu item in the tools menu.

New documentation

The manual has been revised and extended. It now presents more information about Inspector and its components in a more structured manner. Due to the large growth of tutorials to practice Side Channel Analysis and Fault Injection, a separate document has been made that contains all the tutorials.
