Downloading of PY-2020iD/iS control software (Version 3.04)

OVERVIEW
This version of the control software for Double-Shot Pyrolyzer (PY-2020iD) and Single-Shot Pyrolyzer (PY-2020iS) fixes the problem in which the temperature calibration value stored in memory is erased.

For some units of PY-2020iD and PY-2020iS which have been delivered more than five years ago, the capacity of the internal battery used for memory backup of temperature calibration value is decreased and the calibration value in memory may be reset, if the unit is left unpowered for several days. If this is the case, the actual furnace temperature is lowered by 5 to 20 °C ( at 550 °C furnace temperature). This version of the software has addressed this issue.
