Version 5.03 - VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE!
This version was released in June 24th 2014 and addresses two important problems related to the fx2 usb interface:- The large dead time for data taking, limiting the event rate saved to disk
- The fact that, in some cases, the computer gets very slow, not responding to mouse or keyboard commands.
For this release, we also made /dev/usb the default device for data taking. Does not need to explicitly define the fx2 usb interface when starting spmroot.
