FFT functions Update
Fast Fourier Transformation – FFT Functions can be used in documents via Toolboxes and Formula Templates or they can be directly coded in Python and MatDeck Script. The GPU can also be directly utilized to dramatically increase the speed of FFT execution via our supported Array Fire functions. All of these FFT is also available in MD Python which gives Python users access to C++ speed Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) functions without the complexity.
New Python IDE Features
The MD Python IDE now comes with popular features such as selected word highlighting and dependent auto-suggestions. Selected word highlighting allows you to see every instance in which you have used the highlighted word in the document, allowing you to see exactly what and where the keyword is being used. Dependent auto-suggestions allows MatDeck to recommend code snippets and suggestions based on the code that you have already written, it takes into account factors such as what libraries and modules you are using as well as the previous factors that our auto-suggestion engine used.
Custom Tkinter GUI Designer
The Custom Tkinter GUI Designer more a fluid and modern look to Pythons beloved Tkinter library. It gives the users a new and polished look while keep the infamous simplicity of Tkinter. The Custom Tkinter GUI Designer gives you a “Modern” Tkinter with no-coding needed and a GUI or App made in minutes, all in Python.
FTDI Functions
MatDeck now support the use of FTDI chips and devices via their native functions. This allows the chips to be used to their full capacity and speed. With MD Python, Python users also have access to all FTDI Functions allowing them to now create FTDI devices App quickly and effectively.

The MatDeck Library is officially available for Python. MD Python brings 1600+ functions to Python allowing users to access and utilize MatDeck functions in existing Python code and maintain the simple Python Syntax.
MD Python brings Finance Toolkit, Equalizer Toolkits, Regressions, AI Training, FFT and several more features and toolboxes all for direct use in Python.
Improved Documentation
MatDeck has updated and separated MD GUI Manuals into much smaller manuals, the new manuals are easier to read and more precise. With this, MatDeck function and Toolboxes will become even more accessible and can be used with only a few minutes of looking at its documentation.
SCADA and Instrumentation for Python
With the introduction of MD Python the MD SCADA and all MD Instruments can now be used in Python. MD Instruments is MatDeck’s virtual instrumentation and is available via the MD Python GUI Designer; users can create an app with Instruments in a matter of minutes without the need to learn any new syntax or languages, the same goes for the MD SCADA. All interactions and logic can be done with just Python.
New MatDeck Release
MatDeck 4.1 has officially released, the new updated version of MatDeck include several new features such a new improved debugger, new Modbus ICPDAS GUI, GUI Designers for Mobile App development and more. The new version of MatDeck affect all MD Products as they are all upgraded to the same new features, bug fixes and efficiency algorithms as MatDeck.
New GUI Designers, Upgraded IDEs and Enhanced Debugger
MD Products now all include two new GUI Designers, Kivy and PySide2. With these new GUI Designer comes the ability to create mobile app and UIs for Android and iOS, both can also be used to create Desktop GUIs and Apps, with PySide2 being perfect for the development for high-grade professional apps especially with its similarity to PyQt5 code. The IDE for all GUI Designers have been upgraded with revised feature making coding in the IDEs more efficient several fold, one of these features being the enhanced Debugger allowing bugs and errors to be found instantly.

Perpetual Lifetime Editions
Our New MatDeck 4.0 comes with the opportunity to buy as a Lifetime edition just like previous MatDeck Perpetual Licenses. All available Perpetual Lifetime Licences will remain available for purchase as we know that many people in all fields and community enjoy and want a rock-solid and permanent version of the software they use. This is our long-term promise, that our releases will have Perpetual licenses, despite other software’s removing Perpetual Licenses.
Modbus Excels and GUIs
For Data Acquisition and Control our Modbus GUI have always provided a much-needed simple interface between yourself and the hundreds of DAQ devices that we support. The new GUI allows for the set up of SCADAs and Virtual Instrumentation in seconds and without one single line of code, a truly unique system. Our new technology utilizes Excel for Modbus registers allowing new devices to be added in a matter of minutes. This allows any Modbus DAQ device to be compatible, even experimental devices.
Formulas Templates
The newest technological feature in the MD product line are formula templates which can currently be implemented for Chemistry, DSP, FFT and Physics. Formula templates are ready-made pieces of formulas or functions which can be inserted and used within a few clicks, they offer the ability to use several advanced formulas and functions without needing to write yourself. At most, a user may need to change a variable name or value before the frmula template suits their needs. Formula templates help reduce the mistakes and time taken to finish a project, no matter how big.
Micro:bit
MD Products now support the Micro:bit microcontroller. MatDeck can directly connect to a Micro:bit on your PC via USB and the Micro:bit will be visible and can then be programmed in MatDeck. Micro Python can be written straight into a MD document or it can be programmed via the MD Python IDE. All Micro Python commands can be found in their full form in a MD Document. They also utilize drag and drop so they can be coded by all levels of programmers.
For more information, check out the Micro:bit page.
ArrayFire
ArrayFire’s Mathematical Library for OpenCL and CUDA utilizes the processing power of the GPU to accelerate code execution and free up the CPU. Now, some mathematical functions will be executed on the GPU/video card. This will drastically speed up the time taken for mathematical processes and allow the CPU to be utilized for different tasks. Code acceleration is key in areas such as Machine Learning.
