1.Connection and operation of multiple (up to 5) CA instruments via USB communication

Computing environment:

Measurement response when several CA units are connected has been improved.
Since there is compatibility with previous versions of CA-SDK, programs written using previous versions can be used without modification. Even when multiple CA units are connected, as long as there are no port number problems, operation can be performed by just changing to USB connection. However, to take advantage of the improvements in this version, it is recommended that you refer to the explanations in the CA-SDK manual to create and use your application.
