**10:45 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884759268399):** interesting, looks good, I wonder if those fluctuations are real or it needs to be averaged out
**10:46 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884776496259):** looks like analog float.. and with the scale set to "auto" it makes them look big
**10:46 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884813752839):** right
**10:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884837060349):** fixed at 0-100

**10:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884847603269):** i mean it is still swinging pretty good
**10:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884873166909):** maybe temperature related too.. you see it slowly rise and fall
**10:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884877213709):** (on average)
**10:47 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884877308039):** sure, those fluctiations may be real, since its over a long time. @Kevin would know
> **18:34 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755912881021469):** the average wave looks to be normal, but the square ups and downs I think are noise and/or bad (cheap) transmitter. what psi is that?
**10:49 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755884974126999):** alright, trend pages are together..
**10:50 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885002248859):** i fixed the alarm descriptions and built the trend pages.. did you want me to spend time on figuring out the sts_fail bit? when its not enabled on the faceplate?
**10:50 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885056100039):** sure
**10:52 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885157387249):** also for ccsd or other projects. i have the FT echo software which is an emulator.. it lets me run studio5000 logic without a PLC. if i grabbed a backup of the gateway (or export of the project) and put the .acd file on my emulator i should be able to develop offline.. then we would have to give you the project or gateway backup and .acd file to go live.
**10:56 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885371965469):** cool, I'll hold onto my l306er and give you the opto learning center and the modbus gateway still
**10:56 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885385165869):** as long as the emulator can communicate to the prosoft module
**10:56 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885401452339):** its over ethernet?
**10:56 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885413818509):** i think it should work
**10:56 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885414880369):** yes
**10:57 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885435893079):** ive had the emulator drive actual vfd's and other ethernet IO
**10:57 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885472050539):** cool then it should work
**10:58 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885501687189):** I just replaced the lithium internal batteries in 3 Opto SNAP R1 controllers, and hopefully that holds the memory so I can send it with you
**10:58 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885514859949):** ah, yeah that makes sense.. hopefully that was it
**10:58 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885532337429):** I have these replacement batteries for this reason, hopefully they aren't too old
**10:58 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885537928349):** controllers are $1200
**10:59 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885540870819):** im in morro bay now, but was planning on swinging by on my way home this afternoon if that works out.
**10:59 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885545942539):** dang
**10:59 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885582600299):** I'm going to leave it powered up and try to test a power cycle in an hour or two, but until that's sucessfull we may want to wait to transfer.
**10:59 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885596972459):** I can provide the Opto 22 software to you, it's probably going to be helpful.
**11:00 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885623968809):** no rush on my end! i have 4,000 things i can do
**11:00 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885634935919):** yeah. lets wait
**11:00 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885643272809):** i ordered a new work computer.. getting ready to hand this one one.
**11:00 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885650497969):** transition is going to take a bit.. but it is WELL under way
**11:00 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885654246509):** macbook again?

**11:01 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885718890069):** M4 MAX processor.. its like 40 core... 48gb of ram. 2 tb
**11:02 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885724568319):** yeah baby
**11:02 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885725224229):** i went with the smaller form factor this time though.. 14"
**11:02 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885737572699):** pry 16" out of my cold dead hands
**11:02 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885762663649):** thats what im on now.. i love it.. but its a beast to lug around.
**11:02 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885772569029):** you're a very portable guy, i get it
**11:02 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885772658669):** planning on getting a portable 2nd monitor to pop up
**11:03 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885796378449):** totally. I 99% of the time set up my 27" portable
**11:03 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885810831909):** yeah. perfect.
**11:04 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885844332059):** She has a dedicated seat in my truck, I buckle her in tight. Carrying case for all the goodies
**11:04 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885859369969):** my only concern with going all in on apple was serial, but i managed to get even the most obscure serial connections to work over usb into my windows VM.
**11:04 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885863876429):** there hasnt been anything i havent been able to do
**11:05 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755885913025639):** there is something I don't get about networking within VPNs and I hated it

**11:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755886702586439):** ok, the tag im using for the sensaphone alarming now is not gated behind the enable/disable.
**11:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755886709478689):** however, i found a better tag we can use that is.
**11:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755886729158129):** so im going to update the logic for the sensaphone dialer to use this new status tag
**11:28 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755887284707529):** perfect. This is applicable to the other objects right?
**11:28 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755887323713659):** Thanks for working with my PITA PAX objects :grin:
**11:29 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755887382747819):** yes, im updating to this tag for all the alarm call outs
**11:45 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888326636679):** ok, disabled all alarms from the faceplate and all the outputs to the sensaphone have dropped.
**11:45 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888342816819):** this should work how we want it to
**11:45 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888351911019):** killer, thanks dude
**11:46 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888381727919):** no sweat. im going to re-enable the alarms. are you away from home at the moment? will we be able to get into ccsd?
**11:46 [andy](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888398239829):** I just put it back online, can you test?
**11:46 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C08NFJSU753/p1755888405477879):** yes. give me a moment
