There are three versions of the software (see eMax - english). There's a pdf on that site which explains the differences but I think the most relevant points are:

I'm on STEPS firmware 4.6.0 but I'd recommend sending an email to Marcus Schlegel at eMax ([email protected]) to be sure your version...
