Firmware
Upgrade
Due
to the compatibility of our Programable Controllers,
enhancements to the firmware will always appear on
all controller types, with a few exceptions so a general
firmware list covers virtually all enhancements.
The
list below covers general enhancements and does not
list specific 'bug' fixes. If you consider that you
have found a 'bug' in your controller's firmware or
in Flex32 please
contact us.
