Enhancements in Bulletin 5370 MPK MATH PAK Firmware Revision A04 Release Notes alk CVIM MATH PAK Firmware Release Notes This document lists and describes changes and enhancements to the MATH PAK firmware The information in this document should be considered as additional to the CVIM MATH PAK User Manual Catalog No 5370 ND005 Series A This section contains changes and enhancements that are effective with the A04 release of the CVIM MATH PAK firmware Firmware Compatibility MATH PAK firmware revision A04 requires CVIM firmware revision C05 or higher Also if used with other CVIM packages USER PAK M firmware must be revision A03 or higher and OCR PAK firmware must be revision B03 or higher Corrupt Formula Detection MATH PAK formulas can be corrupted by CVIM USER PAK and CVIM OCR PAK options The corruption has been eliminated in USER PAK firmware revision A03 and in OCR PAK firmware revision B03 However if an old configuration containing a corrupt formula is archived internally all formulas and any templates OCR match strings and USER PAK configuration data will be erased and set to their default settings The Configuration Fault bit will be set to allow a host computer to detect this condition At this time you will have to re enter the lost configuration data Formula Results From Other Toolsets The MATH PAK User s Manual indicates that when a simultaneous trigger 1s used for Toolset 1 an
