What's New
==========
Version 2.2.1
-------------
Bug Fixes
  - Updated installer to current version of InstallShield to provide better 
    compatability with recent versions of Windows.


Version 2.2.0
-------------
New Features
  - The VIs in this version of the library were built under LabVIEW 6.1, so you
    will need to use at least that version (or higher) to use the VIs. The updated 
	VIs should import correctly now into LabVIEW version 8.5.
  - The contents page of the online help has been reworked to make it easier to 
    find the getting started pages (rfe #100100). 
  - You can now invert hard limit polarity in the MCSetLimits VI (rfe #100110).

Bug Fixes
  - Problem of opening the VIs under LabVIEW version 8.5 has been fixed by building
    the VIs under a more recent version of LabVIEW (bug #100150).
  - The installer now correctly finds the location of the LabVIEW libraries and
    installs correctly in LabVIEW version 6.1 and later (bug #100151).

	
Version 2.1.0
-------------
New Features
  - New installation program correctly detects and installs for LabVIEW 
    versions 5 and 6. (BR #2)
  - Axis and Handle controls have been modified to make them more LabVIEW 6
    friendly. They were using features National Instruments discontinued in 
    version 6. (BR #7) 
  - Menu options for the Motion VI Library are installed in the Motion Control
    folder by default instead of the older PMC folder. (BR #10)
  - The VIs now support axis numbers up to 16, permitting full use of the new
    dual axis MC302 and MC362 modules on the DCX-PCI300 (BR #12)

Bug Fixes
  - Show help for MCMacroCall VI was linked to MCGetAnalog by mistake (BR #11)
  - Corrections to the online help
  - The Sample.vi and Cycle.vi demos have had their window properties changed
    to allow them to run at the same time - the un-needed dialog box proerty has
    been removed. (BR #13) 


Version 2.0a
------------
New Features
  - Support for the Motion Dialog (MCDLG) functions (part of the Motion Control API 
    version 2.1) added in this release. Motion Dialog functions make it easy to add
    motor setup, scaling, motor parameter save and restore, and command file download
    to your LabVIEW program.
  - VI support for Backlash compensation on the AT200.
  - VI support for Gearing.
  - VI support for the MacroCall function.
  - VI support for setting servo output phase.
  - VI support for Motion Controller register programming.
  - VI support for reading from and writing to Motion Controller memory.
  - Enhanced online help with a new "Getting Started" section.
  - New samples!



Installing The Motion Control API
=================================

Before you install the Motion VI Library you must first install LabVIEW
version 5.0 (or later). This is necessary so that the Motion VI Library
can add its function and control palettes to the LabVIEW menu system, and
install the online help where LabVIEW can locate it. 

You also need to have the Motion Control API, version 2.1a or higher
(available on the PMC World Wide Web site), installed and configured before
you can begin using the Motion VIs. The 32-bit Motion Control API may be
installed before or after you install the Motion VI Library.

The Motion VI LIbrary is installs a new folder named 'Motion Control' under
the "INSTR.LIB" folder in the LabVIEW installation folder (for most systems
this will be c:\Program files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1). An entry
is also made in the Windows Start Menu -> 'Start | Programs | Motion Control
| Motion VI LIbrary' that contains links to the samples, the help system,
and the ReadMe file.


Contacting Technical Support
============================

Technical support contact information is included in the online help files
supplied with the Motion Control API.
