Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Something odd is happening with a CMM2 G2 that I'm testing. Firmware version 6 seems to be misbehaving with some simple commands.

Compare with older firmware: (same hardware)

I wonder if in v6, Peter got rid of the HEX$ and BIN$ functions?
Can you find them listed in the functions area of the v6 manual?

Peter has given me the CMM2 firmware to look after.
I have been working on beta5, mostly finishing the porting of new featues from the Picomites.
I will add what I currently have to the 6.00.00 Betas thread.
The Hex$,Bin$ issue I had already seen and fixed. MM.info(VERSION) is now fixed as well.
