The term 'OT121an' used in the following sections only applies to openFT versions >= V12.1C20.
For versions <= V12.1C10, the format 'OFT121a' applies to the term.
Here 'a' stands for the release status A, B, C, ... etc., and 'n' for the first digit of the correction status: n = 1 for 10, n = 2 for 20, n = 3 for 30, ... etc..
So the following mapping between the openFT version and the term to be used for 'OT121an' applies:
| Version | Term |
| V12.1A | OFT121A |
| V12.1B | OFT121B |
| V12.1C00 V12.1C10 | OFT121C |
| V12.1C20 | OT121C2 |
