 ====== Collection Software and Changes ======
-===== 7.61 =====
+===== 7.626 =====
-January 08, 2025 - bumped main version to 7.61. Major changes are RE during schedule will restart in the section after RE, not at the start of the string in from the schedule. New item in CF for lamp offset, currently disabled due to bugs. new rtn - HJ. Does a HS but runs both direction. Currently this is only running on 046, 085 and 224
+March 26, 2025 - Pushed out new version of main along with fr, hg and di. New commands FT and FB information can be found [[fr|here]]. The FR shows less information during the scan, but finishes much quicker. DI has been fixed to rectify the issue where it doesn't always post updates in the bfile during its scan.\\
+April 7, 2025 - (currently on test branch only)
+  * Main.asc
+     * The lamp warm up wait now checks the lamp's intensity every 10s and if SL is <0.1% or HG<2% stable then quits waiting
+     * Increased the timeout for Brewer prompting to avoid frequent popups during motor zeroings.
+  * sl.rtn - Fixed Failed/Aborted messaging.
+  * hp/hg.rtn
+     * Minor improvements for stability and speed.
+     * Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if micrometer is way off, neither HP nor HG have to finish even one scan forward.
+     * Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if the micrometer is estimated to be more than 3 steps off, the scan backwards is skipped. Volodya: Time-saving feature during recovery. Now, if micrometer is way off, neither HP nor HG have to finish even one scan forward. Volodya: Time-saving feature during recovery. Eliminated the unnecessary back and forth by calstep steps if HG needs to repeat.
+     * Now, if the micrometer is estimated to be more than 3 steps off, the scan backwards is skipped.
+  * mm.rtn - Added a few more macros
+  * ap.rtn - Trying using channel 8 (rate meter) for HG current for MB. Volodya: Replaced reporting of HV in MB with lamp on with that of lamps off due to it being affected by fluctuations in +15V.
+  * fr.rtn - Turned out it was much more difficult to calculate the number of steps between the current position and the LED in the SB. Fixed now.
+  *Typing ^ in the main will break the program (This is mostly put in originally when a lot of keyboards didn't have scroll lock anymore and before VS found out most laptop lets you do fn+k for scroll lock )
+  *  When enabling AZ in IC, it won't error out with can't find "PD"
+  * skc.rtn
+    * had all the other instruments removed from the list to ignore az is turned off.
+    * It will now check for following schedules, and will ignore if az is turned off
+      * idle
+      * inside
+      * lamps
+April 15, 2025 - Program above has been pushed to the master except for hp.rtn as that is would oscillate if the top of the HP peak is fairly flat.\\
+May 6, 2025 - Few rtn has been updated (Currently in program test branch)
+  * hp.rtn the The above problem should be solved for instrument with flat middle of a HP scan
+  * td.rtn and main.asc has been updated to help support dosbox-x
+  * auto.rtn had a problem that sometimes left "auto" being saved in the OP_ST that has been fixed
+  * si and SIM will save a copy of the OP_ST if changes to sightings were made
+June 17th, 2025 - updated fv.rtn. This version will write the output that is printed on the screen into the d file as well.\\
+June 18th, 2025 - Added wu.rtn - (Warmup) will run the diagnostic string until the instrument hits 32c\\
+<hidden===== 7.61 =====>
+January 08, 2025 - bumped main version to 7.61. Major changes are RE during schedule will restart in the section after RE, not at the start of the string in from the schedule. New item in CF for lamp offset, currently disabled due to bugs. new rtn - HJ. Does a HS but runs both direction. Currently this is only running on 046, 085 and 224.\\
+January 08, 2025 - Updated the az command to ensure it uses the E command to zero the az like RE already does.</hidden>
 <hidden===== 7.56 =====>
 Oct 23, 2024 - updated a bunch of routines and bumped up the main version to 7.5. - Only running on 011, 085, 254 for now.\\
