Ok a few minutes ago, I turned on my Xmag. ACE was on 01. I turned ACE off, played with the trigger. Turn off my Xmag when I had an even 6000 TS. A little while later I turn it on, and the shot counter was back to 5952, with ACE on 01 again. I turned off ACE again and shot till I got back to 6000. It happened again so I turned off ACE again and shot back up to 6000. This time it seems to have 'kept the TS in it's memory'.

Couldn't tell you for sure, but my emag did(probably still does) something similar. If I make any changes or fire the trigger, and then cut power to it within a few seconds it resets back to whatever it was before. I'm guessing it doesn't write directly back to the backup memory, but does it every few seconds. That's just a guess though.

Well you see last weekend I was having problems with it. I couldn't even get it to shoot in manual at our tourniment.Comment

emag shot counters suck
Comment

From what it seems the emag software is really outdated and bad in generael, is this true? I think it should be able to have a shot counter that works, even if the battery is taken out for a little while it should have a small watch battery to save the shot counter.Comment

well..even in the most recent 2.4 software, the shot counter sucks...Comment

I doubt it's the software. I'd bet it has something to do with the way memory is maintained. When the shot counter resets do all other settings reset? That would certainly be a sign of memory loss.
Besides, it's always the hardwares fault.

I don't really have a problem with the shot counter myself. I don't think I've ever been legitimately putting shots on the gun and not had it keep them. Usually in a game I don't take a couple shots and then put the pin back in immediately. But, that's just me.
Coffey - Firing in mechanical mode has nothing to do with the electronics. There must be some other proble. What that is though, I couldn't tell you.
It doesn't need a watch battery because it has memory that can save the shots when the power is turned off.

I have the 2.4 in the X-Mag, and I will put the SPS up to 20, and turn the ACE off. I can then wait a short time or long time, and if I turn the gun off. When I turn it back on, everything is reset.
The shot counter getting reset if the battery runs down is annoying too.
Hopefully 3.0, will fix all this little annoying stuff, that should have been fixed a good while ago. Thats just me though. I mean seriously is it that hard, to get all this to work properly?Old School Baller

Ohh, I gotcha. Sorry about that Coffey, I misunderstood ya. Did you get the mechanical problem figured out?Down with Righty!Comment

It is the hardwares fault. When we designed the board we didn't know that power down could loose the memory. For it to hold the memory all the time it needs another chip added to the board (which of course we didn't know about at the time). To combat the problem we store three identical copies of the data. On bootup it compares all three copies and takes the two that match for your startup settings. Some chips are worse than others and you can get all three copies with different data, then it goes back to defaults.
Sorry about it we fixed it the best we can.
