  • Updated soft fuse details to reflect that values are locked and cannot be changed by the user.

Updates to reflect software v4.1.2:

  • “Watchdog” requirement for momentary switches — Implemented a mandatory requirement to include a "Watchdog" control in a boat's YachtSense DCS-Series Digital Control System design for all momentary switches, to ensure that, in the event of lock-up or crash on the switch device (whether hardware or software switch), the watchdog signal triggers the channel output to switch off.

Updates to reflect software v4.0.426:

  • Updated to reflect the new feature in v4.0.426, which allows the software in all Remote modules in a single YachtSense DCS-Series Digital Control System to be updated via the Master module; it is no longer necessary to update each Remote module individually.
