Well, after typing all this out I came to the conclusion that I really shouldn't settle with something that doesn't do exactly what I want. I called up AquaCave explained to them I wasn't happy with how I perceived the product would work and asked if I can return it and get an Apex instead. They said no problem and sent me an RMA. So I'm going to run home at lunch and ship back the GHL. Then upgrade my AcJr to an Apex. Which will be sort of nice since I already have 2 DC8's, all the probes, and the dosers already and between the ability to do OSC down to the second now, and the ability to use the DEFER function. With OSC & Seconds I can setup my dosers as close to how I would want them to work.
The only downside to the apex (and what me not want to go that route in the first place) is the time function only works on the minute not the second. So if I wanted to set my dosers up to only work via a specific time range I can't get the precision that I can with the OSC function as I'm stuck w/the same issue I have with my Acjr which is only multiples of 1.1/m. The upside to it all is if I DO end up having to do some nutty custom programming to get what I want because I'm making things to complex..At least I can do it from my computer vs mashing buttons on a little interface.
