Outstanding Issues

Critical

• None

Non-Critical

• The Refresh button must be clicked after connecting or disconnecting readers on the V1400 for CT3 to update the device list.
• Device discovery and removal are slower for V1400 and its connected readers.
• High-quality image uploads fail for devices connected to the V1300 in RS-232
• In the Image Viewer, large images can cause the Properties section to be cut off with no scroll option.
• Browsing images in the Image Viewer creates duplicate files.
• When Saving Images to flash, navigating back and forth between the Capture tab and Explore tab after issuing CDTPXEV1 in the Developer console causes the file list to not display
• Commands sent via the Capture tab's developer console sometimes don’t get sent the selected reader if multiple devices are connected.
• Switching between USB HID Vendor and USB CDC VCOM communication modes with multiple devices connected can cause the device to drop off CT3 and not show back up. If this happens, ensure you restart your software and scan the associated communication mode barcode.
