Diki thank!! You just made the point that i alluded to earlier. I dont care how good you are you cannot discover the capabilities of these boards in a week.
The manufacturers do things differently to achieve the same ends but its quite easy to miss the benefits of these functions because the instrument does not work the way your last one did.

And Chas you misunderstood and misqouted me earlier . I said i was unwilling to help when a new user had dificulties using an instrument if they did not hold it long enough before i could respond to their query and after i had taken the time to prepare a detailed explanation. It had nothing to do with their intention to sell the board.just my wasted time.
