    Yes, simply install over the top of 2.4 to update!
    Take care,

    Hi. Install the new version 2.4.1 but I have problems. The movements are erratic. The output testing does not work as it should. I went back to version 2.4 and everything normal

    The washout filter worked fine, but the traction loss one would not activate.

    The traction loss filter now washes out as needed. (washout speed depends on your min/max numbers.)

    I just saw that Washout filter below Traction loss - didnt pay attention to them before. I'd have to play with them to see what they do. I think i left it at 0 for Traction loss.

    The Gain above is only for washout.
    With the traction loss filter, you just adjust the min/max numbers as needed.
    (Centering to fast, use bigger numbers, centering to slow, use smaller numbers.)

    @yobuddy Hi. I'm always using it well. Thank you.

    But, When are you going to solve the problem of changing the local language setting?

    If I change the local language setting, simtools works well, but it is a little difficult because other programs often break letters... Some of the menus in Axis are also hidden, so it is not possible to set filters for DOF6.

    I hope you can resolve it if possible.

    2.4.1 did not work with my system. Movement was not right. I tried adjusting things but ended up going back to 2.4

    V3 has been re-written from the ground up and should kick this problem once and for all. :thumbs

    2.4.1 is just 2.4 with a couple of bug fixes.
    If you weren't using 14bit output or the traction loss filter then nothing has changed really.

    I would guess its anti-viruses learning (thumb printing of sorts) 2.4.1.
    Either way thou, v3 will be properly signed to avoid antivirus problems in the future.
    Thanks for the report!
    Take care,

    Is there still an link to the old Version 2.4.0?
    I got some big trouble after updating from 2.4 -> 2.4.1.
    Just have 2.3 in HD stored. With 2.3 everything works as before. Therefore I would like go back to 2.4.0.

    Thanks

    Please look into the issue of Serial Interface not working. I think it has something to do with the Serialinterface.dll file. I used the one from 2.3 and It's working.

    Agree, something not right with the serial interfaces - some work, some don't, some don't work right. Rolled back to 2.4 - everything is fine.
