- [1.06i4] When DoorMon in use (Model 110), if AutoTest recipe specifies customized alignment text for high drive, then AutoTest will skip the
standard "Insert Sample" text. Separate "Insert Sample" and "Rotate Sample" text may cause operator to open and close the door more times than should be

- Fix bug: Force old-style measurements on Adjust Drive Field Phase (new algorithm does implicit tilt, which is wrong for this purpose)
- Remove unneeded stabilization delay in AutoTest with new measurements following Hk
|
1/8/03
Version: 1.05e
|
- Fix bug: AutoTest using new measurement algorithm always tilt-corrects the loop, even when the profile specifies no tilt.
- Fix bug: When an AutoTest measurement (using new algorithm) used PUX10 or PUX100 and digitized the results, the Y axis labels of the graph stored in the worksheet did not reflect the X10 or X100. This also affected the Hk drive measurement.
- Implement new measurement algorithm to calculate dR, and create AutoTest specification of segment region.
- Make dispersion (DispK) measurement use old algorithm for internal Br measurement, thus avoiding some problems with the new algorithm evaluating a loop of odd shape.
- Additional measurement calibrations will use the old algorithm for internal Bs and Br measurements.

- New AutoTest option to skip tran field patterns
- New algorithm renders Slope2Y unnecessary, so remove Slope2Y support code
- To prevent potential crashing in instrument off code, added new mutex requirements in shbIOLow

- Slope2Y no longer used
- In pcmRun_OffChanged from CENTEITHERLOC to RIGHTLOC to make RunOff be consistent in the state in
which it leaves any sample. This makes a difference in the case of deltaR measurements.
