Note!

During the Axis device driver test period, we detected a case where the Axis device driver was not viewing ID driver selections in Spotter.log for an unknown reason, and the following error message appeared: Exception in reading parameter information from installed control device driver

 

Changes in VMS 9.6.0

Automatic Axis device driver registration at Spotter start-up is removed, and a new Axis registration button is added in Input device settings.
