Fix a case where loading setups with screen cursors on may result in an error reported from processing the setup file - Fix a case where, in some settings, waveforms would appear in dots only - Fix an issue with USB bus CRC calculation for a zero length data packet v1.22 3/30/2016 Enhancement: - Added control for readout transparency Defects Fixed: - Fixed an issue with CAN bus and zoom with large numbers of packets resulting in slow performance for pan across record - Fix an issue where DVM DC Autorange would not settle properly - Fixed "flicker" between RF manual and peak markers when they overlap - Fixed an issue with manual markers not displaying in the correct location on Frequeny Domain Reference waveforms - Fixed an issue with Peak markers not working if Stop Frequency was greater than maximum frequency range - Fixed an issue with recalling Frequeny Domain Reference waveforms not drawing in the correct position - Fixed an issue with channel 4 waveforms saving to Reference when saving after a single sequence acquisition - Fixed issue with frequency domain math waveforms being improperly converted to dBm during save to .csv files - Fixed issue with Save All with multiple frequency domain traces causing overwritten data values - Improved save operation where frequency domain waveforms are previewed - Fixed a case where frequency domain units did not match the saved data by forcing all RF trace data to be saved as dBm - Fixed an issue where RF saved setups would not properly recall vertical units - 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 -

An instrument reboot is recommended after running Diagnostics - Improved edge trigger alignment for MagniVu on digital channels Known Issues: - Previewed spectrum data may save previewed header values instead of acquired data. This can result in incorrect save file data.
