Unrecognized hardware
stepping. Assuming hardware
stepping 0
This error occurs when the
software tries to query the VSpin
or a version number, but
receives no response.
For example, VSpin models
older than version 3 do not
report their version number to
the software.
In this case the software
assumes a stepping value of 0.
If you have received this error,
you might have a VSpin older
than version 3.
Contact Velocity11 to resolve
this issue.
