2. Revision History
----------------------------------------------------------
Version 2022-03-01 (v1.5.104)
- Added AES67 channel count to SDP packet for third party AES67 channels
- Encoder webpage has AES67 2 and 8 channel options
- Fixed decoder output that could show extra pixels in scaler mode
- Added NetLinx commands to API calls
	setSettings:netlinxSystemNumber:'Value' 0-65535
	setSettings:netlinxUsername:'Value' no limit
	setSettings:netlinxPassword:'Value' no limit
	setSettings:netlinxDeviceNumber:'Value' 0-65535
	setSettings:netlinxPort:'Value' 1- 65535
	setSettings:netlinxIPAddress:'Value' no limit
	setSettings:netinxEnable:'Value' on/off
- Added netlinxSettings to getStatus packet
- fixed getStatus packet using netlinx
  getStatus-1, getStatus-2; sending both commands will return a full getStatus packet
  due to size restrictions within NetLinx.
  
- Added extra wide screen formats to encoder, and new edids
	3440x1440 @ (15, 15.86, 30, 50, 60)fps 
    3840x1080 @ (15, 15.86, 30, 50, 60)fps 

Version 01/19/2022 (v1.5.101)
- Added new string query to return temperature data
  send string....getTemperatureData
  returns this: [TEMPERATURE:52.9$0DFANSPEED:0$0DFANPERCENTAGE:0$0D]
  -TEMPERATURE value - returns celcius temp reading from hardware
  -FANSPEED value - returns the fan speed Auto: 0, Low : 1, Mid: 2, High: 3 
  -FANPERCENTAGE value - returns the percentage of the fan use. 
		  The percentage is 4 different values 0, 50, 100, 
		  and an equation is set to provide a percentage 
		  based on the temprature being between 60 and 80 degC
