• A problem was fixed where the Z-Clear value in the 'Operation' part of the script is not updated with the modified inspection data from PowerInspect. The Z-Clear values in several other places in the script are correctly updated and are apparently what is used with other types of inspection machines, but Zeiss machines seem to use the one that was missed.
  The Z-Clear value for the 'OperationHeader' was being updated for QMeasure scripts but not preset scripts. The Z-Clear value on the 'Operation' element itself was not being updated for either type of script.
