Release Notes
===================

v1.26
=================
- For Apollo/Mach, set the current clamp (CC) gains as follows:

    10x gain with  0pF CC capacitance compensation
    10x gain with 55pF CC capacitance compensation

- Add support for gain over-ride files apollo_0.cfg (for VC) and
  apollo_1.cfg (for CC) for Apollo/Mach.

v1.25
=================
- For Apollo/Mach, set default Cfast offset to 0.
  This undoes the setting of 15pF from v1.23.

v1.24
=================
- "cfast_offset" now supported for apollo_0.comp, shasta_0.comp,
  and pico2_0.comp.  Sample file format is:

    apollo_0.comp (first line is comment line)
    cfast_offset 25

- Force re-programming of the firmware when selecting "Start" tab in
  TecellaLab.

v1.23
=================
- For Apollo/Mach, set default Cfast zero to 15.  This means that
  setting Cfast to zero will actually set the Cfast hardware to 15pF.

- For Apollo/Mach, add "cfast_offset" parameter to "apollo_0.comp" file
  to over-ride the above default setting.

    - Create a file called "apollo_0.comp".
    - The first line is comment line.  Suggest typing "apollo_0.comp".
    - As an example, on the second line, enter "cfast_offset 30"
      to change default Cfast offset from 15 to 30.

- Create Shasta Duo configuration to support both voltage clamp and
  current clamp.

v1.22
=================
- For Apollo/Mach, force Iclamp OFF when switching configurations.
  This fixes side-effect of v1.20, V1.21 where switching from CC to VC
  with Iclamp ON caused ringing on VC High Gain.

v1.21
=================
- Add delay before and after loading firmware.

v1.20
=================
- Do not reset the FPGA when changing user configuration.
- Maintain source select when changing user configuration.

v1.19
=================
- For Mach Duo2, use Low and High gains in Current Clamp mode to
  select the level of capacitance compensation.  22pF for Low setting,
  and 62pF for High setting.  Voltage follower gain is 4x for both
  settings.

v1.18
=================
- Do not re-load the FPGA when changing user configuration.

v1.17
=================
- Support for Mach for 1024 segments, without the channel 145-192 bug.

v1.16
=================
- Auto Artifact removal now works when combining Delta segments with
  Ramp segments.

v1.14
=================
- Auto artifact removal now works on downward ramps, too.

  from 64 to 1024.

- For Apollo and Mach, fix the bug where an extra segment was inserted
  between stimulus patterns when the stimulus pattern was repeated
  more than once.

v1.06
=================
- Max_stimulus_segment is increased to 256 for Apollo, Shasta, Jet, and
  Triton+, but firmware changes are necessary.

v1.05
=================
- Disables Digital Leak Compensation
- Max_stim_seg is 128 for Apollo and Triton, but requires firmware change

v1.04
