History
-------
v3.20 11/18/2015
Enhancement:

- Fixed an issue with channel 4 waveforms saving to Reference when
saving after a single sequence acquisition
- Fixed an issue with saved References not allowing very small
vertical scales
- Fixed a case where completing an acquisition with Roll Mode on
Long Records could result in the first portion of the waveform
being overwritten
