>>> stations 8117 feature limited functionality based on smaller program memory from firmware 5.49, only "control" possible

upload	2007-03-01 boot559
----------------------------
	firmware 5.59 improves stability of the SI-stations in case of higher discharged batteries;
	unstability of a SI-station results in higher power consumption;
	update is recommended for stations older than 2 years corresponding to consumption counter values of about 30% or higher


upload	2006-05-17 boot556
----------------------------
	all general update		5.56
		modified data structure in stations backup memory in extended mode
	Card-Readout (BSM7)
		compatible read mode (SI-C6) for SI-C8/9/p
	SI-Master
		higher accuracy in time synchronisation
	Printout-Station
		higher robustness when low battery effect in the thermal printer


upload	2006-02-24 boot553
----------------------------
	all general update		5.53
		real time clock accuracy improved by implementing temperature compensation
		SI-C6* implemented
	SI-Master
		inductive coupling sensitivity corrected


upload	2005-11-24
------------------
	all	general update		5.49
		important error correction in the SI-Card5 handling
			at low temperatures there was a robustness problem for some production slots of SI-Cards5
			the firmware error is in versions 5.4x; versions 5.3x are not affected
	all
		improved security when SI-stations are transported against real time clock reset
	all
		SI-Card8, SI-Card9, pCard handling implemented
	printout
		"Start"-Card for mass start handling


upload	2005-08-08
------------------
	9197	BSM7-RS232, BSM7-USB	5.44
		improved robustness for SI-Card 5 reading


upload	2005-06-27
------------------
	9197	BSM7-RS232, BSM7-USB	5.43
	B197	BS7-P			5.43
		bugfix for stochastic read error SI-Card 5
		additional flag for BSM7, BSP7: in modes "card readout" and "printout" stations
			can be locked against backup memory overflow

upload	2005-05-11
------------------
	all	general update		5.40
		improved robustness for SI-Card reading
		SI-Card handling higher priorized
		data logging in SI stations backup memory improved
		error correction real time clock from version 5.39

upload	2005-04-05
------------------
	B197	BS7-P			5.38
	BS7-P	"print results" temporarily disabeled - error if a larger number of SI-cards is read in
		print layout configuration with better performance, SIPrint 5.38 (PC-Software) needed

upload	2005-03-10
------------------
	8115	BSF5			5.34
	8117	BSF7			5.34
	8188	BS8-SI-Master		5.34
	8197	BSF7			5.34
	8198	BSF8			5.34
	9197	BSM7-RS232, BSM7-USB	5.34
	B197	BS7-P			5.37
	
	BSFx stations should have at least 5.33, BSMx stations should have at least 5.34

	5.37
	all	correction: read out backup memory	
	BS7-P	extension: "print results"
		correction: printer control, print layout
