Title: New Paper mini manual to ship with the Classic
Post by: Halfcrazy on October 25, 2011, 03:10:18 PM
Ok I have finally finished the first draft of my 12 page paper manual called "Just the Facts" this will get revised and will ship in PAPER form with every Classic. Please look it over and give  me your feedback. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31975941/Just%20the%20Facts.pdf (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31975941/Just%20the%20Facts.pdf)

HC,

I went through the mini manual and all seems to be covered from a basic setuup point of view. I think is a good idea to have this included because it might not be convenient for most people to have a computer handy to go through the manual while installing the classic. So I know that this basic start up manual will be greatly appreciated.

My main issue is a personal one. You see on my classic when I go that screen that is depicted on the last page for the daily history ready out my screen does not look like that. All that is present on my screen is the DAY and a number (between 1 and 380) the label of reading and its value. I dont have that small number in the upper right hand corner, nor do I have the date above the word DAY nor do I have the time label and actual time beneath it. I have the latest firmware installed 23/9/11 for the classic and 24/09/2011 for the MNPG. I also have the right time and date setup through the MISC menu. What is going on with my Classis Midnite? This all ties back to the fact that my exported logs (CVS file format) does not have a time stamp as I had reported before and I had confirmed that the time was set properly. I will confirm again that the date and time has been set and it correct. Oh yeah one last thing, my MNGP does not display a point in the value assigned to the data being displayed. As an example if I am looking at a voltage data point it tells me 489, when I know it means 48.9 because I know my system cannot get to 489V.

Cheers...

The latest released code is what you have and the logging has some errors. Look for new code around Friday on the website. I have been testing it and I think you will like it.
