SH will neatly integrate multiple machines in a single profile, and let you seamlessly click from day to day, showing the proper daily sheet from whichever machine you used that day.

I've never tried splitting a day between two machines, though, that might give poor SH a tummy ache.

Yeah, it was crashing because I didn't have the latest version of SH like I thought. I had just downloaded what I thought was an update a few days ago so I thought I must have the latest, but somehow I ended up with an old version. It does indeed work seamlessly between machines and cards.

I've raised the minimum pressure to 6 and will see what that does. I prefer gradual changes.

like I said, I'm always suspicious (too many years of tech support?) when people say "I have the latest version".

I learned to ask misleading questions...

"oh, so you've got 0.9.4a?" (which never existed) at which point the person says "YES!" triumphantly....

to which I reply "well, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM!"

My mistake was assuming the one I'd downloaded midweek was the latest version.

Trying to compare two different manufacture machine is like comparing apples and watermellons.

Trying to compare two of of the same kind of machines, is like comparing apples and oranges.

No two machines treat or read data identical. Better results would find one machine you like best and use it to optimize your treatment. Best results are seen by using the Avg of a few nights data before deciding a change, going too fast is chaos. Jim
