Resolved Issues: • Fixed issues with the Battery Simulator app crashing and encountering instrument errors on computers with specific localization settings. • Fixed issue with the Scope app viewing previous run data after running a test. • Resolved Scope app issue which would sometimes show duplicate measurement readings from an attached oscilloscope. • Fixed issue with Scope app which, in specific circumstances, received measurement readings out of order. • Resolved the issue with KickStart s/w crashing when opening a saved Scope App project while using one or more scopes and the instrument(s) not being turned on. • Fixed the issue in the I-V Characterizer App where the test would stop when checking for error messages from the instrument and a timeout occurred prematurely. • Fixed the issue in the Scope App of channels 9 and 10 not synchronizing when changing the label and vertical scale of all channels. • Misc. problems resolved.
