Good Friday evening,

I put a westclox scotty on my timegrapher 1000 and it doesn't seem to register; stays on the preliminary screen that says "auto detect."  The timegrapher acted a bit funny today with a couple of other jeweled watches, where it started detecting but then went back to the preliminary screen, but ultimately it seemed to work on those.  I've only used the machine a few times.  Does the timegrapher not detect non jeweled watches or is something wrong with the machine?  Thank you and have a nice weekend.

in the autodetect mode is looking for a signal within a specific range or ranges's for a specific frequencies. This is where we could make a wild guesses probably 18,000 beats per hour and manually set the mode to that range.

Then one of the unfortunate problems with the Chinese machines it would be nice to have real audio. In other words how is does the watch sound? If the machines not getting a clean enough signal it can have issues with the signal that would be another problem.

The timegrapher is now working with the dollar watch.  I think the watch was running so far out of parameters that the machine wouldn't function properly.  I noticed that i hadn't fully wound the watch and once i did that the machine picked up the signal but i still got an erratic display.  Once i serviced the watch, the timegrapher seemed to work as i would expect.  Thanks guys.

Nothing is wrong, when a watch works erratically that is what the instrument shows.

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
