V2.32  (February 2020)
Resolved bugs
・Fixed a bug when the measurement was started with the "Disp Update" in the Interface setting set to "NONE" and the measurement was interrupted before the measurement for the recording length was completed, abnormal values may appear in the measured waveform.

V2.31  (November 2019)
Resolved bugs

・CT6865 has been added to the sensor that can be used in the 8971 current unit.
・The sensor types CT6700, CT6701, CT6710 and CT6711 have been added to the "clamp" of scaling.
Improvement
・When the measurement is interrupted while waiting for the trigger, the numerical result is also preserved when the waveform data remains.
Resolved bugs
・Fixed a bug when the measurement of maximum, minimum and peak value is set by numerical calculation, the calculation result displayed when stopping measurement is incorrect may be incorrect.

V2.22 (January 2018)
Resolved bugs
・Fixed a bug that the value obtained using the communication command ": MEMory: GETReal;: VREAl?" for the 12-bit measurement unit is slightly larger than the correct value.
・Other minor bugs were resolved.
Improvement
・Variable setting is automatically changed after changing the scaling setting value of the strain unit.
・The automatic balancing method of the strain unit was improved and the accuracy was improved.


V2.21 (August 2016)
Resolved bugs
・When the auto-saving to PC connected via LAN is stoppded、during measurement by the recorder function or roll mode,Unreadable file is created.
・Not be able to read arbitrary waveform files using the communication command.
・Other minor bugs were resolved.


V2.20 (February 2016)
Added functions
・Waveform generation unit is available.
Resolved bugs
・Fixed a bug that High/Low calculation is wrong value when the number of data is small.
・Fixed a bug that STOP input of the external terminal does not work, when the setting of  the external control terminal was to START & STOP.
・Other minor bugs were resolved.


V2.15 (May 2015)
Resolved bugs
・When the main operation in the HMR Terminal, if you change the range during the measurement in the time-axis range is 100ms / div following slow time axis, Fixed an issue in which the waveform of the HMR Terminal will no longer be updated.
Improvement
・Fixed save kind of when you switch the function.
・Fixed the range setting display of waveform screen.


V2.14 (December 2014)
Added functions
・Corresponding to the HMR Terminal Ver.2.
Improvement
・On Internet Explorer (Windows7 or later), when you download the waveform data by pressing the [To MS Excel], the file extension was set to be CSV.
Resolved bugs
1. When performing a waveform evaluation from the communication command, executing the evaluation immediately after the waveform display is ON, resulting in running the decision on the previous image to redraw the waveform.
2. Communication command ": FDISK: CHDIR" using, it is not possible to move to the directory in the root directory.
3.Other minor bugs were resolved.


V2.12 (March 2014)
Added functions
Communication function with 9333 LAN communicator.


V2.11 (December 2013)
Resolved bugs
1.When the timebase is set to 1min/DIV or slower, if the display of a time value is set to the [date] and measurement is started, the date displayed on the lower part of a waveform screen will be garbled, or when the worst, a system error will be started and it will hang-up.
2.If each setup of variable, scaling, and auto scale is set to ON when setting up a strain unit, even if it changes rated capacity, the upper and lower limit value of a variable will not be changed automatically.


V2.10 (November 2013)
Improvement
The time display of a waveform screen in case there is no waveform data is displayed with the value of the present time-axis setup.
Resolved bugs
1.When the current clamps of the time of saving a setting file and the present differed, and the setting file was read, the fault in which the measured value of a current unit makes a mistake was corrected.
2.The fault the kind of temperature sensor is not saved at a setting file was corrected.
3.Other minor bugs were resolved.


V2.05 (July 2013)
Improvement
1.Calculation time when edge did not find one by the numerical operation which uses edge detection was shortened.
Resolved bugs
1.By the numerical operation which uses edge detection, when a filter is used, the fault in which an operation result may make a mistake is corrected.
 (The target operation)
 Period, Frequency, Time to Level, Pulse Width, Duty Ratio, Pulse Count

 (The generating conditions of fault)
 If an operation object waveform has a pulse of the same width as a filter, the standup and falling of edge will be detected conversely.


V2.04 (March 2013)
Added functions
1.The function which can acquire measurement data with one button was added to the "Start/Stop" screen of the Internet browser used by remote control.
2.The communication command which saves a numerical operation result in the internal memory of the instrument, and the communication command which refers to the numerical operation result saved in the internal memory were added.
Improvement
1.Communications processing speed of LAN was made more nearly high-speed than before.
Resolved bugs
1.The following fault was corrected.If a power supply is reswitched on or a file is read when a setup of the EXT I/O is "Waveform", a setup of an EXT I/O will turn into "Measure".
2.When a display screen was changed with a communication command (DISPlay:CHANge), the fault from which a screen may not change depending on an order of executing a communication command was corrected.


V2.03 (December 2012)
Added functions
1.Added REC (real-time recording) Function.
2.Enabled to access ”main storage memory” at FTP service ("Main storage memory" can be accessed as same as "external storage media").

2.When all the setting copies are carried out, a NPLC setup and fast response setup of a DVM unit are not copied.
3.Other minor bugs were resolved.
