The Version Checker utility, "VerChk.exe" is designed to assist in troubleshooting
problems related to communication between various versions of our Device Driver, DLL, .INI file,
and .INF file.
Due to some of the complexities associated with unitial loading and updating of
various files when installing USB and similar devices, we've created this utility to help our
customers find problems that may be associated with incompatible copies of our files which may
either be initially placed on their system, or may accumulate as the result of numerous or
incorrect updates.
The Version Checker Utility has various modes of operation. In the simplest mode, it will scan
your system for all copies of the following files, and log it's process to a log
file, "VerLog.txt" in it's current directory.

Reading that log file may give you clues to problems that you may be having when trying to interract
with the device and/or software. The log file
can also be used when interracting with Lawson Labs, Inc. technical support.
A more advanced mode provides a lot of user interactivity with the ability to check your system
for any one or all of the files named above and even remove unwanted or unneeded copies.
Within the archive containing "VerChk.exe", there is brief documentation to further explain
things as well as a sample "VerLog.txt" file to show how a log file may look. Before running the utility,
be sure the DLL is in the same directory as "VerChk.exe" and that all of your Model 301/302 devices are connected.
As will be explained in the documentation for VerChk, be sure to place VerChk.exe in the same folder where you have
the DLL that you are attempting to use, since one of the main functions of the VerChk utility is to determine if the
M30x DLL that you are using is the correct one to use with the M30x device driver that you are using.
