Revision History

V3.1.3

Test Mode
- Add the ability to test switches that have an off resistance by assigning the same pin numbers to a permanent connection item and a switch item. The permanent connection defines the switch open resistance and the switch item defines the characteristics when the switch is pressed.
- Add the ability to quit the job if a file has a fail password, the part has failed and the password is not known.
- Fix bug that caused communication errors to be displayed if a new short was detected while scanning for switches.
- Improve reporting of any Keypad File problems that prevent it from being used for testing.
Edit Mode
- Reduce minimum font size from 6 to 4 for label fields.
General
- Add support for updated Mistrals with black cases.
- Improve calibration procedure.
- Improve ability to recover from USB communication failure.

V3.1.1

Test Mode
- Improve reliability of USB communication.
Edit Mode
- Fix bug in Probe Keypad function that required the probe to be connected to a pin other than the one specified on 62 point systems.

V3.1.0

Test Mode
- Fix bug that caused extra switches to be detected when one side of a switch was connected to a permanent connection.
Edit Mode
- Reduce default current used to measure LED forward voltage from 10mA to 1mA for new Keypad Files. This should reduce forward voltage errors due to LED circuit path resistance. Note that default current can still be changed in the Edit Info for the Keypad File and individual currents can be set when the LED item is selected.
Learn Mode
- Significantly improve the speed with which the Mistral recognizes key presses.
General
- Provide updated USB drivers.
