DcDesk 2000 and hand programmer only allow the customer to access control units which
contain the HEINZMANN basic software 00.y.zz or a custom firmware xx.y.zz with his
own customer number x. The variants y define different firmware, e.g. for different
applications of a manufacturer. Each variant can exist in different change levels z by
means of software enhancements; the next higher change index always incorporates the
next lower change index and supersedes it (
).
