----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.8z 2008-11-19
o	New proportional plus integral airflow control algorithm improves the approach to airflow setpoint. 

	As the damper drives the airflow toward the setpoint, the output begins to pulse, 
	where the pulse size in 1/6 s increments is given by 4*Airflow Error/AF Hysteresis. 
	The smallest non-zero Airflow Hysteresis gives the fastest approach to setpoint. 

	As control approaches the setpoint, the airflow error is summed over time. The  
	Airflow Integration Time [Default 4] is the time required for a 25 ft/min error to 
	sum to give an additional pulse. 

	To enable this algorithm you must give the Airflow Integration Time a non-zero value.
	If Airflow Integration Time T3E48 is zero, then reverts to old algorithm. 
	(Drive To Airflow Setpoint, and then wait until airflow exceeds hysteresis.)

o	Adds Single Setpoint Deadband T3E42 for WS-051
o	T3 E2 Primary AF Smooth Filter now defaults to 4
o	T3 E47 now returns VV_DefaultOutputState used in Personality 0 and Boot Mode
o	Table 3 Expanded to 52 Entries VV_T3_E48_Spare	... VV_T3_E52_Spare
o	Input 2 and 3 now report correctly (new doubles)
	T9 E49,50 A1_AuxTempIN-02-word. T9 E51,52 A1_AuxTempIN-03-word 

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.7a 2008-10-06
o	Dual Heating now works with Electric Heat personalities.

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.6b 2008-05-21 ECO-418 70024-05
o	Fixes a problem with Input Types 148,149 ZT10kType 2 and 
	with Input Types 164, 165 ZT10kType3 not being recognized as Zone Temperature.
	Outputs were locked out.
o	Removes Zener compensation for airflow calculation. 

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.5d 2007-04-10 ECO-410 70024-04
o	Lowered threshold for Brownout Protection and Stable Power Restore 
	This allows the controller to operate down to 21 Vac and to automatically shut down 
	when the 24 Vac power drops lower because of brownout conditions.

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.4u 2007-03-13 Evaluation
o	All stages of Electric Heat now turn off if the Primary Airflow is 
	less than the Electric Heat Min Airflow Setpoint,
o	Adds new personalities: 31, 2-pipe, and 32, 4-pipe Fan Coil 
o	Adds Door Event feature to work with Occupancy Sensor to determine if room is occupied
	after the door opens and closes.
o	Adds Window Event feature to force the fan, heating and cooling off if the Window is open.
Note: This release requires expert 3.3.0.3 or later and new asic1.mdb, a1-6000.pvs, a1-6000.tcl files.

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.3e 2007-01-03 
o	Adds Single Setpoint Enable T6E5bit0 feature for WS-051 Digital Display
	If enabled, then the CLG OCC Temp Setpoint is changed and the 
	HTG OCC Temp Setpoint is 2 degrees less.
o	Implements Occupancy Sensor on Input 5 as in ASIC/1-8055.
	Adds 	Occupancy Sensor Enable, T6E3 bit 4; Occupancy Sense Close, T6E3bit5;
		Occupancy Sensor Status, T10E13 bit1; Occupancy Sensor Threshold, T3E15; 
		Occupancy Afterhours Enable, T6E5 bit 2

----ASIC/1-6000 FW600a Rev 1.2 2006-08-04 ECO-403 70024-03
o	Fixes problem with Damper Override Open/Closed command when Jumper J6 is open.
o	Fixes problem with global Function override, MT=0x21, commands that 
	occasionally caused incorrect output overrides. 

WARNING: Failure to properly ground the controller may cause controller malfunction. 
ASIC/1-6000's are grounded devices and must be solidly connected to the building electrical ground. 
The controller should be grounded by attaching #16 gauge wire from 24 Vac Common, TB1-4 to 
the grounded sheet metal of the VAV box being controlled.
See Technical Note 34, ASIC/1-6000 Controller Grounding, for further information. 

Note: 	There is a bug FW600A1.1 and earlier in the Damper Override Open/Closed commands
	when the Jumper J6 is open to reverse the action of the Primary Damper.
	Override Open drives it Closed! Override Closed drives it Open.
	The status of the damper is correctly displayed.
	This will be fixed in the next release.
	If you need Damper Override commands to work correctly, 
	you can leave Jumper J6 closed, and swap the Primary Damper Open and Closed Masks.
