Version 1.5 =========== Batch cycle repeat feature added. Stop batch now stops the current dose instead of finishing it. Now the advanced button just changes the Duty cycle limit from 20% to 50%. Auto degas pump option added. This turns on the pump when a run is started. Power auto scaling if greater than 100. Auto degas restart if found to have gone off due to bug in Covaris module, RS232 COM port is automatically set if it is zero and apply settings is pressed. This loads the USB Covaris serial port number. This won't work with non Covaris USB serial ports. Duty cycle limit, Centre freq may now be set in the advanced configuration window Version 1.7 =========== Calibration factor is now taken notice of. This reduces the power output by a percentage that is programmed into the acoustic module. Version 1.8 =========== RS232 Port list is loaded into COM port selector. Temperature reading is displayed as a graph under power graph while running. Power value is displayed next to the power graph. Log file enable and path added to the configuration. Open log file button added to 'Debug' page. Version 1.9 - 1 Sep 2007 =========== Batch dropdown boxes now reloads the current dose list. Fixed log file bug where duty and duration were swapped.
