What price is the software or is it free

unfortunately this software is not free and? It has a lot of really nice features to light does a lot of stuff it would be nice though if it cost less. Considering can buy a Chinese timing machine all self-contained with a rotating microphone for half the cost roughly I think the price is a problem. But they been selling for a long time and their US seller sells it on eBay.

looking at your video the oscilloscope is showing way too much background noise. It improves later in the video we could just barely start to see the signal you need. Was that the microphone that came with the software?

I snipped out some images one of them off the software's website and one out of your video.

from the website the image that I have for the oscilloscope you will notice there are two separate lines labeled drop threshold and unlocking threshold. these of the signals required for amplitude. The only need one signal for rate which would be the unlocking. then in your image you're only using the unlocking and it's on the wrong part of the waveform. this is why you have a rate and the amplitude is totally wrong.

so you really need to get rid of the background noise reduce that down to almost nothing. Then need to find the other threshold line I'm guessing it's in the center right now as it looks like there may be a line their. That line needs to come up to where the other one is and the other one needs to drop down and trigger off the unlocking. once the signals correct or much nicer than it is now triggering lines where there supposed to be things will look much nicer and the correct amplitude will be there.

      Setting lever spring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes.

      Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
