[IGSTK-Users] IGSTK Polaris tests results

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Anka,

My mistake, I think V018 is the first combined API. The newest version 
is V024. I attached a page from the Polaris API document showing the 
difference between V018 to V024.

PHRQ is a new command replacing the old PVTIP.

I think this explains all the trouble.
