Error Calculations

New flexibility is provided to allow user choice of error calculation modes and user definition of a square-root cutoff parameter at the low end of the range.

Calibration Parameters

You can now assign selected calibration parameters such as Read Output Delay individually to each device.

User Requested Features

User suggested improvements include:

	More flexible controls in the Docking window let the user customize the list display.
	For multi-user systems, you can now display which users are signed on.
	A new Historical Tag style has been created to make possible the generation of a report that lists all devices that were ever assigned to a specified tag name.
	Selected input fields now facilitate data entry by retaining the last several user supplied values in drop-down lists, or by defaulting to the most recent assignment.

Click here to see a user customized display of the Route List in the Docking window. Also notice how the new instrument icons show device type and service status.
