New features since v1.2:

1)  A data logging feature is added to v3.0.
2)  Three phase calculations are performed on the instrument readings
    if you choose three phase from the Phase menu.
3)  Another digit of resolution is displayed for all values in the
    table view of instrument readings. This is seen on the display,
    .csv files, and printed reports.

New features in v3.1:
1)  Support for COM3 and COM4 communication ports.
2)  Added additional Excel logging support for latest versions (above 5.0)
3)  Support for Fluke 41-AV meter.

New features in v3.2:
1)  Improved installation program, including the ability to uninstall.
2)  New checkbox for data logging Battery Save feature.


Notes:

1)  The maximum number of windows you can open are 8 for "Instrument 
    Reading", 8 for "Picture" and 10 for "Sampled Data".  The maximum 
    total number of windows is 15. However if you have other Windows 
    applications running at the same time, you may run out of memory
    before you reach 15 windows If you have this problem, close some 
    other applications and try again.

2)  If you are using a low resolution (e.g. 640x480), you may not be 
    able to see all three lines of annotations on the "Instrument 
    Reading" table display.  However, the annotations will be on 
    the printout of the table.

3)  If you are running the program in a Windows language setting other 
    than U.S., commas may be used as the decimal places (e.g. German).
    However, the numbers on the Y-axis of the Instrument Reading and 
    Sampled Data graphs will still use the period for decimal places 
    in this case.

4)  Starting with version 3.0, the Phase Dialog Box will always show 
    what setting is currently "in use".  You can change between single 
    phase and three phase calculations with this dialog box.  This
    setting will be used for all new Instrument Reading windows and 
    for data logging.  Additionally, if an Instrument Reading window 
    is the active window when changing the phase setting, that active
    window will be adjusted to reflect the new setting.

5)  Before starting a logging session, be aware of what kind of phase
    calculation (single or three phase) is currently in use.  If three
    phase calculations are active, a notation will appear in the caption
    of the logging setup dialog box.

6)  FlukeView 41 has a "Battery Save" option that is used to prolong the
    battery life while data logging.  It works by placing the instrument
    in Hold mode between each data sample.  This is especially useful if
    a long sample interval is being used.  However, there are instances
    where it may be desirable to turn the Battery Save feature off.  It 
    may cause errors if used with a very slow computer, or may generate 
    incorrect Peak Volts readings.  If this is the case, you can turn off
    Battery Save in the Logging Setup dialog box.
