<DIV>Very helpful, Scott. For those of us preprogramming some OmniPro upgrades but before installing the hardware, the version override button, which I saw, is a great help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: rgb(102,153,204) 3px solid">You can certainly use PC Access Version 3 (PCA3) with controllers running older firmware; however, to use that advanced features, including enhanced programming, you will need to use Version 3.0 of higher controller firmware.<BR><BR>PCA3 now considers the version of the Controller Firmware when deciding to enable the new advanced features. Additionally you must connect to the controller at least once so that PCA3 will recognize that the controller has 3.0 capabilities. The controller firmware version is shown on the initial screen. If it doesn't show 3.0 or higher, you will not see the advanced features.<BR><BR>There is a "Version Override" button that allows you to enable advanced features without connecting to a controller. This allows you to begin programming using the advanced features and save it to an account file, prior to updating the controller firmware.<BR><BR>-Scott<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users-bounces@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users-bounces@tssi.com</A> [mailto:<A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users-bounces@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users-bounces@tssi.com</A>] On Behalf Of Brad<BR>Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 6:06 PM<BR>To: 'Tom Morgan'; <A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users@tssi.com</A><BR>Subject: RE: [Hai-users] Convert HMS program to HAI program<BR><BR>Is ver3 firmware required to use Pcaccess 3's new features?<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users-bounces@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users-bounces@tssi.com</A> [mailto:<A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users-bounces@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users-bounces@tssi.com</A>] On<BR>Behalf Of Tom Morgan<BR>Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 5:28 PM<BR>To: <A class="parsedEmail parsedEmail" href="mailto:hai-users@tssi.com" target=_blank>hai-users@tssi.com</A><BR>Subject: RE: [Hai-users] Convert HMS program to HAI program<BR><BR>While time consuming I can confirm what Scott is saying.
