***************************************************************

This release of the 3500Pro control software provides improvements in the upload and download functions.

***************************************************************
**  v1.3
**  PESA 3500PRO V1.3 Release  (April 2004) 
***************************************************************

This is the second manufacturing release of the 3500Pro control system.

The matrix bounds have been increased to 1024x1024 matrices for 16 levels.  The system can configure up to 
1200 sources and 1200 destinations.

If you already have RCP-GPI or RCP-JS panels configured, you will need to reconfigure the GPI input data keys.  
Due to the addition of three data keys, the GPI keys have been moved from 132-147 to 135-150.  

The RCP-MP32D, RCP-GPI or RCP-JS panels have had their operation changed.  There have been three data keys 
(132, 133, and 134) added to where the Page1, Page2, and Page3 keys are.  If these data keys are left undefined, 
the panel's paging operation remains as it is now.  If any of these keys are defined, the Page4 becomes a page 
toggle key and toggles through all the pages.  

Panel Descriptions have been added to allow for more detailed descriptions of the panels in configurations.

Remote Clients has been updated to link salvo include lists.  This allows for 3500pro salvos to work with the 
Clikcontrol remote router control package.  

A PRC delay field has been added to assist in interfacing to 3rd party matrices.
