Ecosystem Apps is a suite of publicly available programs which add many features at no cost. Some of them you might use individually to create or modify models. Others might be called from Repetrel to manipulate a file. This install should all be carried out per the instructions below, so that Repetrel will find them in the expected locations.
The current (as of 11 Aug 2021) is recommended for all users:
* Repetrel Program '''4.2.474'''
* Motion Controller Firmware '''4.203b''' (lower case L)
