All MI3 Communication Boxes       
Version 2.01: * Production Start 
Version 2.02: * Average time by multiple heads system was corrected.
 * The device did not show correctly the temperature in overrange and underrange
 * Wrong view of heads number assigned to OUTPUT - corrected. 
Version 2.03: * underrange and upperrange by O2O=2.5 and O2O=21 was corrected.
 * New command <HC> to get the connected heads:
 ?HC  !HC1 2 8
//heads #1, #2, #8 are connected
 * New command <HCR> to get the registered heads:
 ?HCR  !HCR1 2 7 8
//heads #1, #2, #7, #8 are registered but possible not all are connected 
Version 2.04: * Corrected thermocouple output for °F
 * Corrected burst string (only in conjunction with DTMD software)
 * Support for the ProfiBus module 
Version 2.05: * Corrected factory default (only in conjunction with °C/°F switching) 
 * TCK and 0 - 5V output after Factory Default are correct.
Version 2.06: * Command "DS" was corrected for all Specials.
Version 2.08: * Overcoming a possible mismatch between head and box in regard to the 
 temperature unit.
 * Correcting the “sensing head #0 lost” error
 * Correcting the numbering/displaying of sensing heads 
Version 2.09: * Box-Head communications immunity has been improved so that the "freeze
 sensing head" error was eliminated
 * new command <FF> (?FF or FF=<threshold>) to handle the Flicker Filter
 * Support for the ModBus module 
Version 2.10: * new commands "CFDT", "CFLT", "CFHT" to handle the
 Final Test Report 
Version 2.11: * Supporting the MI3100 sensing heads
 * new command <HL> to handle the laser support for MI3100 heads
 HL=0 // laser off
 HL=1 // laser on
 HL=2 // laser flashing 
 * Alarm point limits (alarm thresholds) cover a range from -50 up to 6000, 
 independent from the temperature unit
Version 2.12: Feb/2012 
 * new parameter for the command <HL> to handle the laser support for
 MI3100 heads:
 HL=3 // controlled externally via FTC3
 * Settings of analog outputs will remain available after "Fail Safe", "Reset" and
 "OFF/ON". 
Version 2.13: Feb/2012 (effective S/N 122015)
 * execution time for "DO" and "DG" commands was reduced to solve a timeout
 problem.
 * Support for the 4-channel Analog Output Module 
Version 2.15: Apr/2012 (effective S/N 124064)
