- In the auto-transmission of recorded data after changing the settings of a Remote Unit, only the new data will now be sent instead of all data (including previously sent data).
- Fixed a problem in which device information was not being registered in T&D Data Server when making a setting change (e.g., registering a Remote Unit) to the RTR500BW at the time of first usage.
- Fixed a problem that occurred when sending Current Readings of RTR-576 to T&D WebStorage Service, where an abnormal value was displayed when the CO2 measurement had a negative value. (e.g. "-6 ppm" displayed as "4294967290 ppm")
