=================================

Fixed bug: when Kill/Interlock is executed channel are not set to Off correctly

09.03.2006      Version 2.00

Fixed one bug on CANBUS mangement.
CANBUS was reconfigured after the reception of a command even this one was on another node.
A set command can be sent immediately after a command for another node and thus could not be 
received if the firmware is reconfiguring the CANBUS.
For this reason the CANBUS reconfiguration is performed in case of error before responding to the 
received command.

Upgraded the channel off sequence:  introduced the status bit IS_TO_OFF which allows the 
channel to ramp down to zero in few ms
        
Ugraded the Iset management: in case of Iset = ISMAX the value sent to the relevant DAC is
increased of a quantity equal to the Iset accuracy, so the channel can provide the maximum current 
without entering OVC due to Iset resolution error.
          
Added repeated reset of the channel 0 status byte. This byte is not used, but it could be requested
by the Branch Controller (for example in order to obtain a board UNPLUGGED)

Upgraded the setting of  Vset and Svmax in Transparent Mode. In order to avoid UNV and OVV 
signalling during Vset setting when the channel is on, a delay  is introduced on such conditions
testing.
For the same reason also  'PAR_VSET' and 'PAR_SVMAX' commands are upgraded in the 
'main_loop()' in 'a3535mai.c' file procedure.
 
Added Tracking mode. In tracking mode channels are turned ON/OFF in pairs. If one channel (of a
pair) is turned off for any reason, the other is turned off as well. GlobalOn/GlobalOff Enable/Disable
command also act on the pairs.
Channel pairs are: Ch1-Ch2, Ch3-Ch4, Ch5-Ch6, Ch7-Ch8, Ch9-Ch10, Ch11-Ch12.
Tracking mode can be enabled or disabled only in Transparent mode
