• Control for Weiss environmental chamber
  
• Control for Keithley 487 HV supply
  
• Control to move Wuppertal's Baremodule Probing table
  
• primitives to automate actions in above panels
• More versatile surflist execution (useful for other labs as well)
  
• Control of Servo Motor control for LBL's source shutter, written by Jeff Allen
• naming convention for SURF I,V,T log files: New, second, option available, compatible with Module Analysis.
  
• New "include/exclude all modules in scans" button in SURF panel
• New primitive to run connectivity test

Bug fixes / improvements of existing features

• Occasional TurboDAQ freezes during fitting, at the end of T0 scans: Fixed.
• Slightly wrong T0 used for intime threshold scans when MCC delay line >5 used: Fixed.
• Problems with VDDD scan with SURF board: Fixed. (Thanks to Duc Bao Ta!)
  
• Connectivity test: Number of bad fits from HV on/off scans written to summary file is incorrect: Fixed
  
• turning off I,V,T logging in SURF panel doesn't work: Fixed.
  
• GPIB command buggy when spaces in command string: Fixed. (Thanks toWolfgang Walkowiak!)
  
• XCKR phase auto-adjust: didn't work if there were two good phase range. Fixed. (Thanks to Duc Bao Ta!)
  
• improved GDAC tune: discard GDAC scan points whith less than 50% good fits. If the fitted GDAC for any chip is lower than ten, revert to GDAC=16
  
• Temp reset buttons in SURF panel: only worked for 1st Surf board (device=0). Fixed.
• Greeting window can now be closed.
  
• Additional module resets during connectivity register tests keep the module temperature even lower than before. (Thanks to Duc!)
• When the user turns off writing of badfits files, empty files would still be created: Fixed.
• The connectivity test turns on and off chips for some scans. This previously had the side-effect, that upon running the test twice for the same module, the auto-save option would save a configuration file with some chips disabled. This has been fixed by storing all chip settings before the connectivity test begins, and restoring them afterwards.
• Connectivity test using MAC card could crash under special circumstances: Fixed.
