The new Microversion 5.7 supports all Dolev 800 family devices and works with
all the front-end platforms. This new version replaces the official version
5.55. This document describes the new features and bugs that have been fixed
since previous versions.
Important Note: The imagesetter tables might be changed in
this version so it is important to save all the machine parameters on a backup
diskette and on hard copy!
Rename the version number for Dolev 800 V series to prevent possible mistakes in Dolev
800 and Dolev 800 V S/W recognition. Dolev 800 V will start from # 7.
Add support for DOLEV3136 version and Increase max. film feed for model Dolev 3136 to
980 mm.
Ignore the error in "Home Position" carriage calibration when no punch system
is enabled.
Add new "Conveyor Delay Time" parameter for precise conveyor take film
adjustment. This delay will not stop the conveyor but will push the film more to the
bridge.
Fixed Bugs
Fix protocol version autorecognition bug.
Improve SSP logic in last two plot lines.
Fix bug in the large cassette display even when the cassette was out.
COARSE CALIBRATION Error.
The intensity strips will start at 100 with steps of 10 instead of 300 and
steps of 100.
Resolve 50-micron white lines during stop spiral
LD and LS values received from HOST was swapped
LD and LS from HOST format overrides Plotter's LD/LS values
- Minimal value of carriage Service Speed changed to 2000
- removed msg "Illegal stop spiral"
improved some interface items in TB2 program
auto-detection of protocol#5 without ECHO by first message
changed priority of "PC Abort Requested" message from FATAL_QUEUE
(all next exposures will be failed) to FATAL_PLOTTER (only the exposure will
be failed) and queue will not be stopped
Remote editing of RES/INT dialogs issues
OMC: laser calibration bug
OMC: bug that enables to change VacuumSeq. parameters
fixed bug in punch info per cassette (will not depend to width of film)
fixed bug in film width calculation formula, ( const offset "-8"
moved to Cas_Height_End_Margin in "Plotter Settings" )
removed parameter EncoderMarks(clocks) from Expose Area calculation formula
fixed two bugs in PC: auto-update film length to 61 m
fixed bug in OMC: ROLLER task termination status and added new information
message "Plot failed: roller"
fixed bugs in PANEL:
- Selection ONE/TWO Large Cassettes saves the selected mode
- Added option select Large Cassettes Mode shortly with panel F2 (RUN) key.
Panel's communication (caused panel stuck)
"CRI End Plot err"
"CRI idx frq warn"
"Feeder pulses err"
fixed bug caused non-ASCII characters appearance on the panel
Roller getting stuck at the middle of the film
"film stuck in conveyor err" message
"no ldt int chang err" message
Res/Int tables requests from the Host is supported.
Wrong punch information for the loading cassettes was corrected.
The selection between one or two large cassettes is shortly.
Spinner control problem was solved. The spinner speed will be set correctly
during the speed reducing too.
The film width calculations that reduced 8 mm in the width was corrected.
The EncoderMarks ( clocks) parameter was removed from calculation formula.
This will make the offsets to be correct.
Change Procedure
Save all the Dolev 800 tables on a backup diskette.
Insert the supplied diskette and reboot the machine. The Dolev 800 is updated with the
new version that is loaded on the Dolev 800 by booting from the new diskette.
Save parameter again on the system diskette.
Test Procedure
After loading ver. 5.7, check that the Dolev 800 is in standby mode.
Plot full size format to check that there is no image corruption.
Verify that all the parameters are as before. Make sure that the Processor delay is set
to 0
