################################################
Changes from 2004.08.04:

- fix for color selection in datalogger
- fixed some scale issues in datalogger


################################################
Changes from 2004.07.21:

- analog output source can now be set to Zero/Full Scale directly for
  calibration

- analog output hi/lo calibration now accepts negative values

- serial mode of the connected port can be set to non-ASCII (e.g. Modbus)
  even though the utility cannot talk to the meter afterwards anymore. 

- select the time unit (sec, min, h, d) in datalogger


################################################
Changes from 2004.07.01:

- setpoint status shows now the actual setpoint status _not_ the annunciators

- when 'Do not upload macro' is selected the macro registers will not be stored
  on Save unless a file containing a macro has been imported. Thus loading
  a configuration file and sending it to the meter will only cause an erase of an
  existing macro if the file actually contains a macro or was created reading
  an empty macro area.
