  1. Re the MF, it would also be nice to know exactly what version it got dropped.  I haven't used them, but it would be confusing for those who have them in a program that then won't upgrade properly.

      I ran head-on into this when trying to interface a to a Watlow control.  Some idiot at Watlow decided that all numbers inside should be floating point.  Probably an engineer fresh out of school.

      Then to make matters worse the Endian is backwards from Unitronics.  I needed the Struct/MF to reverse the bytes.

      Gah!

      Hi Joe,

      you're not saying that some young engineer know's better than all the old farts out there with years of experience in the real world, are you?!!

      They often haven't got a clue.  Sadly the KISS principle seems to be disappearing, along with all the youngies doing what their app says is correct.  Soon there'll be an app to tell them when to pick their nose!  Use your brain?  Hah!

      I've been vaguely pondering your issue and wondered if it is possible via a convoluted method using conversions that are available.  But then that is time wasted if they bring it back.  Ho Hum

      You couldn't get an older firmware version from Watlow and flash it, could you?

      Merry Christmas.
