The feature will highlight the differences between the selected files as a whole or the user may select the “only show differences” checkbox.
Configuration Group Headings on ECM Replacement Feature

The service tool can automatically obtain the passwords from the clipboard and populate the FPS dialog.

Calibration Images
Images attached to calibration instructions will no longer need to be opened manually to be viewed by a technician. The service tool will now have split user interface windows for calibrations that display pictures. This will allow the technician to see the images without having to navigate away from the instructions. Images may be opened into individual windows and resized for better clarity. The user interface for calibrations that do not display pictures will remain unchanged.
Default PC Browser
The service tool will no longer automatically launch web pages in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Web pages will now launch in whatever application is configured as the default internet browser. Certain web pages require a specific browser and may launch in a different browser.
