Version number "ver" is embeded in the product file name:
A2GL1YYMMDDPPSSMMT_XYYYYYLL(2M)M(E/M/P)xnn(C00/Nnn/Snn)R(NBC)E(W)V(T/M)ver(150)p(1-Z)AA(00)D(0).01
e.g., A2GL10305280511OD1_OCSFR0200000001500000.01
 
Known problem for ver 1.6:
* nLw at saturation channels (490, 565, 666nm..) in V1.6 Level-2 NL (algorithm: OTSK1A) are sometimes invalid. This is caused by bug on masking for saturation pixels.
 
Known problem for ver 2.1:
* nLw at saturation channels (490, 565, 666, 680, 710nm..) in V2.1x Level-3 NL (algorithm: OTSK1A/OSBin/OTBin) are sometimes invalid. This is caused by summing scheme in the Leve-3 Binning.
