GalilTools version 1.2.1.0
I run the GalilTools program and connect to one of my DMC21X3 controllers. This works fine. Then when I connect to a different DMC21X3 controller the program freezes. Has anyone seen this problem before?
Also, I don't know if this is related, but when I first started using the GalilTools program and I tried to Run the Scope, I would get an error relating to the "DR" command "did not reply within 500msec". This happened with all my controllers which all happen to be ethernet based controllers. I don't know what I did but all of a sudden this error stopped being reported and the Scope works fine now.
Thanks for any help,
Ted

You have run into a bug in 1.2.1.0. It has to do with changing connections in the same instance. 1.2.2.0, due out in the next few days, has a fix for this. In the mean time as a workaround, close and reopen GalilTools between different connections.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Can you please publish the release notes for GalilTools?
It would be nice to know what bugs are being addressed and if any new features are added in a new version...
