• Software update to fix time readout

In the first software version, the time did not display correctly when in "24 bit (high Resolution)" mode. A new sofware version (chip upgrade) fixes this. Make sure that the display shows an asterix (*) next to the ABS time readout, or it will not be "real time." This is selectable as a standard menu item.

• Hidden menu with software version, etc.

To access this menu:

1. Press Shift
2. Simultaneously press Stop, Rec. Mute, and Menu
3. Display will show something like "clock ?? 000"
4. Press Edit to access the following read-only submenu items:
