FX Pocket Chronograph Questions

[Maximus_Pain]

Hello All,

I have a really dumb question. This is my first time using a chronograph and I can't figure out why the unit is recording double readings per shot. Could I have missed something in the setup?

Also, is there an easier way to export data to a spread sheet? I'm currently emailing myself a copy then pasting into a spreadsheet, which requires a lot of editing to look nice.

I have the FX pocket chrony, and a ProChrono traditional chrono. The ProChrono data is much better presented with multiple formats to log and export the data. The FX for convenience, the ProChrono for recorded data.

I do think you have to email it to yourself, but you can use excel to convert that comma delimited data to separate columns very easily without manual manipulation of each row.

Your question wasn't dumb, here's my dumb question. I was shipped a FXCHR22 yesterday. Is The CHR21 newer or older. Pics on most sites show the 21. Is the 22 the latest generation?

 

[Peashooter]

My pocket chrono also some times give a double reading, but it is pretty rare.
No idea if it would work, but you could try and mess a little with the calibrate option in the settings, it is 0 to start with.

BTW some times my chrono also miss a shot, but that too is rare.

 

[Revoman]

Usually, when the chrono runs amok, a simple close and reboot rectifies the issue. It's also advisable to close the program (otherwise it's lurking and still open in the background) when shutting down, then restarting for another string.
Every electronic it seems has glitches of some sort.
