Scope
This document covers software updates for the VSet Desktop controller and the Vset Console Controller Electronics package.
The Desktop controller is built in an enclosure intended to sit on the desktop.
The Electronics package is just the electronics built into other manufacturer's consoles.
Both are the same units.
Software
These units shipped from the factory with version 1601-00548-001 Version 0.5.0-1.
A couple of updates have been made to improve reliability and address lockups reported by some customers. Version 1.0.3-0 addresses these issues and is the most recent version as of this writing.
