__TOC__

== REPAIRED: FLOAT POINT CONVERSION IN VERY SMALL NUMBERS ==


=== BACKGROUND ===
AICON technicians discovered problems with the conversion of very small numbers between Benderlink and Eaton Leonard controls.

=== RESOLUTION ===
We carefully examined the values from a Premier control starting at 0.001 then moving upward and discovered the problem.  We are confident that the problem is completely resolved and proved through a test devised by AICON.

== REPAIRED: CONVERSION ==

=== BACKGROUND ===
The Die Clearance value is a linear distance.  We discovered that it was not converting between the two units in the main log.

=== RESOLUTION ===
This has been repaired.

<br><br><br><br>

== ENHANCED: EDIT FLOAT VALUES ==


=== BACKGROUND ===
Some floating point edit boxes in the Edit window would accept non-numeric characters during edit.

=== RESOLUTION ===
The boxes are now programmed to restrict entry to only numeric values.

<br><br><br><br>


== ENHANCED: PERSISTENT UNIT STATE ==

=== BACKGROUND ===
AICON technicians asked us to make the unit state buttons in both the '''main window''' and the '''edit window''' persistent.

=== ENHANCEMENT ===
When closing Benderlink, the state of the main unit button is saved to the Windows registry.  When loading Benderlink, both sets of unit buttons are set to the last main menu unit button state.

== NEW SKIN ==


Benderlink includes a new Pulsar skin in the updated installation.

== UPDATED: HELP FILES ==


The Benderlink help files are updated to include new features (like Edit) in the help system.



== ADDED: DATA SHEETS ==


The Benderlink PDF data sheets for both the Benderlink software and the Benderlink Ethernet Module were added to the setup.  They are installed to the main Benderlink folder (default path: c:\program files\blinkel)

The two files are:

benderlink_el_v4_datasheet.pdf
benderlink_el_ethernet_module_datasheet.pdf

These files can also be downloaded from:
