The allowed field size for coil numbers in the XL200 controller has increased from 16 to 30. To utilize the full character size requires a corresponding update to Eclipse.

Adding safeguards to use an new controller with an old Eclipse and prevent data entry errors could prove to be annoying and also not be bullet proof. We are expecting that users who obtain this update and are using an Eclipse that does not support the extra characters will continue to use their existing data entry practices. We also consider the likely hood of an existing user entering more characters than an old Eclipse can handle to be very slim.
