BPM 3000/4000 Series Autohandler
- Added support for X-Stream Tape Feeder.
- Added a setting to enable BPWin to automatically set the 3D inspection part file name (Only applicable to the ScannerTech system).
- Added a setting to enable BPWin to automatically set the TM50 Tape Loader job number (Additional hardware required).

Device Programming
- Resolved an issue where BPWin would crash on startup on some Windows 10 computers.
- A bug is fixed when the user is trying to change power supply settings.
- Before all device operations, all operation ranges of the device will be compared against Default Buffer Value, and if by that criteria they are found to be “blank” then BPWin will now prompt the user whether to continue with the operation.
- The auto range blank check is disabled for erase and read operations.
- Updated diagnostics to display which socket card locations are passing or failing diagnostics when socket cards are connected.
- Added support for FXASM9XDIAG diagnostics card for 9th Gen.
- Improved exception handling mechanism.
- Resolved an issue where a “PMU Refresh Timeout” error would occur on some devices when serialization is enabled.
- Resolved an issue related to the socket module list on 9th Gen.
