Differences between Software V2.10 and V2.11
Both versions include the preset management as new functionality, which
was inquired by several professonal MUTEC customers (see page 28).
Using software V2.10 or V2.11 depends on the alarm interface you have
already installed or you plan to install. Software V2.10 supports only the
older interface iC-ALARM (ordering no. 8005-056), whereas software
V2.11 supports only the new iC-ALARM/GPI (ordering no. 8005-066).
The iC-ALARM/GPI interface offers same basis functionality like the iC-
ALARM, but the new iC-ALARM/GPI interface allows for switching over the
different presets via its GPIO function (see page 31, 32).
