Anyone know if ATI will update it's software/hardware on the controller brain? I am tired of the fixture loosing its setting everytime there is a mini power outage (this is often in my neighborhood during the summer times). I feel very unsafe if I was to be away for a few days and come back to a bleached tank.

Is your fixture losing settings or just resets to its clock to 8 am? When my power goes out it resets its clock, but all settings stay the same.

TBH I never checked the program setting after a power outtage, cuz when I try to "load from lamp" it always go crazy with red leds coming on and off then i get this crazy map loaded onto the laptop.
It resets to 8am yes, I think this is a known issue but I would feel more safe if it kept the program. How to find out for sure?

I experienced the same problem with the clock being reset to 8:00 am while I was loading the program from the lamp to adjust the lighting intensity. The fixture turned off as it was not programmed to be on at 8:00 am. The reset did not affect the original settings.
For the second time around, I loaded the program from the "project" folder instead and changed the lighting intensity there, and then saved it onto the lamp. Everything was fine doing it this way.
I sure hope ATI North America is monitoring this thread to take these reported problems into considerations for their next software update(s).

FYI. If you have one of the newer manufactured units it should actually retain the time if the outage was relatively short, as in no more than 5-6 hours. I discussed this with ATI when I first got my light and if you contact them and send it in they may be willing to update it for you. Also the program shouldn't get wiped. Only the clock resets.

Fyi. I posted my experience to my build thread here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21819461#post21819461
It speaks to the power outage concerns too.

thanks, brand new software huh? Did ATI give any "read me" files on the improvements compare to the older?

Unfortunately, there's no "read me" files on what exactly is being updated or what problems the update would solve. I did a little digging and searching on google and came across this youtube video on how to do a firm ware update on the led clusters.
From 00:19 - 00:21, the guy did say that ATI will send you the updater module. I'm not sure if it's free or if there will be an additional charge. Again, it didn't say what the update will do or what it will improve. Just a little minor detail.....
I'm just a little taken back in this day and age you can't just update everything with an internet connection and a usb connection between your laptop and the light fixture. Here's the link:
