Dear 469DU user:

The 469DU controller software has been updated to Version 1.6 to fix some bugs and to add various improvements and enhancements.

Many enhancements have been made:
1) (TBD)

Some of the bugs fixed include:

1) (TBD)


To update your software, please follow these steps:

Step 1:  Rename your current 469DU directory to something like "old469DU".  This directory will not be altered in any way, so you can easily revert back to this old version.

Step 2:  Download the software update from MTS's FTP site.

	Here are FTP commands you can type into the MSDOS command prompt window
	(remember that capitalization is important!):

	ftp ftp.mts.com (or ftp 148.150.220.10)
		User:     asd
		Password: Guest1 (the last character is a "one", not "ell")
	binary
	get 469DU_V16.exe
	quit
 
Step 3:  Un-zip the download file by double-clicking on it.  A new directory "469DU" will be created with the new software in it.

Step 4:  Copy files Calibration.cal and any settings files you have from your old directory "old469DU" to the new directory "469DU".  Make sure you just COPY these files, NOT MOVE so you can easily revert to the old software if necessary. Always leave your old folder completely intact!  Also copy any time histories or documentation you have to the new folder.

Step 6:  Run the new software.  If you have any problems whatsoever, restore the old software you backed up in Step 1 and contact me immediately.

After a few months of running the new software without problems, you can delete the old folder "old469DU" if you wish.
