Notes
-  DTM Style Guide 
   With the exception of the communication DTMs and the VEGACONNECT DTMs, all DTMs from the setup "VEGA plics DTM" 
   have been equipped with a new graphical user interface according to the FDT/DTM Style Guide 1.1.
- Technology change
   Parallel to the conversion of the user interface, the technology for development of the DTMs was changed to .NET 1.1 and an
   update of the FDT interface was carried out according to the FDT 1.2.1 specification. 
   Due to the use of new technologies, data (project data, echo curve recordings, trend recordings, etc.) recorded with this
   DTM version cannot be processed with previous versions  
- Downward compatibility
  In spite of the extensive changes, all enclosed DTMs are fully downward compatible, with all previous instrument versions.
  Moreover, all data (project data, echo curve recordings, trend recordings, etc.) that were
  recorded with older DTM versions can also be further processed with this DTM version.
