Release Version 4.002 - Operator Panel  
Fixed factory test bug.
   
Release Version 4.01 - Operator Panel  
Added a new system parameter to allow hammering of guns during purge:  When "HAMR" parameter set to 1, guns cycled at a 50 Hz rate during purge.  When "HAMR" set to a 0, guns purged normally.
Changed the resolution for metric line speed settings to 0.1 m/min: 
Resolution has been increased from 1 m/min to 0.1 m/min to provide better resolution for low line speed situations.
Added a new system parameter for remote configuration called INCFG:  A new system parameter, called INCFG, allows customers to configure the remote inputs to any of the following configurations to meet specific operating requirements.

Release Version 3.0 - Operator Panel  
Tool added to assist in determining gun-to-trigger offset (GTO):  A read-only value, TRAVL, was added to the gun menu that shows the distance the line has traveled since the last trigger.  This provides a way to determine GTO when the distance between the trigger and the gun is not easy to measure.
Tool added to assist in determining gun compensation:  A read-only value, LPSPD, was added in the gun menu that shows the instantaneous line speed when the last product was glued.  This provides a way to determine the line speed (which is required to determine gun compensation) in installations where line speed varies.
Support for firmware upgrades:  Using PatternView, the firmware in an Eclipse unit can now be upgraded in the field.
Allow front panel to be used when the unit is in remote mode:  In the previous version, all keys on the front panel except Run were disabled when the unit was in remote mode.  Now only the Use key is disabled.
Select gun 1 when entering purge mode:  In the previous version, when entering purge mode, the default was to place the user on the menu to purge all guns.  The user is now placed on the menu to purge gun 1. 
Added support for putting PatterView on the network:  Previously, the operator panel and PatterView could not be connected to the network at the same time.  With the release of PatternView, support was added in the operator panel to detect that PatternView is on the network and to lock itself.  The transfer of control between Patternview and the operator panel is a feature provided by PatternView.
Product length autoscale detect product before displaying RUN:  Previously, when autoscaling using the product length method, the operator panel would display RUN as soon as the line speed was above zero.  Now the operator panel waits for a product to pass the trigger before displaying RUN.
Additional tests added to manufacturing functional test:  Used to increase test coverage.
Additional tests added to manufacturing Environmental Stress Screening (ESS):  Used to increase test coverage.
NOTE:  Due to a bug in version 3.01 software, do not upgrade EPC-30 display containing 3.01 software.  If a unit with 3.01 display software is electronically upgraded, the unit will not function correctly!  To resolve the issue,  purchase the firmware service kit, 772022, to replace the chips in the pattern controller.  Once the unit has the new 4.01 display software, electronic downloads can be used for future software upgrades.
