     Older software versions used in these boxes will cause illegible screens.
1.)  Reinstated Direct Computer Control functions that were removed in 2.5
2.)  Fixed stepping beyond either end of the construct a feature list with the Up or Down
       arrows
3.)  Perpendicularity (Squareness) nominal changed from 90 degrees to 0.000 in/mm.
       Result is tilt distance not an angle
4.)  Changed interrupt (7) handeling scheme to improve COM2 response.
5.)  Fixed statistics serial output of part/program and variable names in DataPage format
6.)  Modified block data memory assignment scheme to allow stepping back through
       blocks when the number of blocks is greater than 200
7.)  Modify block data memory management when deleting or moving blocks within a
       program and when resetting the measurement mode.
8.)  When deleting a block other than the last block or when moving a block within a
       program the affected blocks' relationships are updated to reflect their new neighbors.
9.)  Added time delay between writes to LCD controller to allow the use of the SE1335F
       replacement chip.

 2.6 (6/9/03)

1.)  Edge Probe and Optical Probe selections now display X, Y & Z offsets without the
       Diameter while allowing only Type and Diameter for Faro machines
2.)  Fixed recalling Tip #1 in a multi tip feature during Playback
3.)  A printed list of programs stored on a Data Card had more than one name on a line
       if one of the program names was 8 characters long
4.)  Added True Position to MUX10 Stats serial output
5.)  Modified MUX10 Stats serial output format to include a more discriptive letter
       i.e. X for the X axis '01X' Was always an A '01A'
6.)  Corrected stats serial output value for True Position deviation angle
7.)  Modified Stats serial out put of True Position for Generic and GageTalker formats
8.)  Changed Icon in the load from data card screen from DCC icon to the
       'load from data card' icon
9.)  Modified Line From Axis to allow selection of 2D line in a reference plane so it can
       be used in relationships with other 2D features
10.)  Put correct line/circle intersect values in the correct screen i.e. first intersect
        is where line enters the circle not exits it
11.)  Fixed output of internal stats values for CP, CR and CPK broken in 2.4
12.)  Editing (moving blocks and deleting blocks) was not handling stored features
        and reference features. This caused relationships using stored features
        to fail during replay.
13.)  Reflex would hang while trying to list programs. Couldn't find the next
        empty file holder if the card was full.
14.)  Flatness plots in the machine's XY plane were upside down.
15.)  Added measured form error to the minimum approach distance to insure proper
        probe diameter compensation and that inside / outside determinations are correct.
        This also corrected Flatness plot orientation problems.
16.)  Allowed +/- tolerances for 'Actual angles' while leaving the maximum allowed
        type tolerance for 'Gauge angles'. This is also reflected in the printouts.
17.)  Added more resolution to the keyin entry for resquare bar lengths.
18.)  Modified MUX10 to output the same stat values as Data Page.
19.)  Fixed Work Instruction Keyboard screen Abort key function. Use to abort to
        System Options screen. Now it aborts back to the Work Instruction screen.
20.)  *Added Circular Runout screen. Circle screen number 4. It displays
        the circular runout and the Max and Min Radius lengths.

* Denotes enhancements
