Program Failure for ACIII

[INSPECTOR]

I'm trying to install a kalk stirrer into my system, it's not hooked into my ATO, hooked to a seperate line from fresh water resevour with a selonoid. I wanted more control of how much and when. Everything was going fine, I wrote a program and was taking measurments of how much I was getting out of the stirrer for allotted amount of time. Now I can't change the program. Everytime I make a change and hit update, it will not. HELP.

Now it is erasing random items

If the AC3 is being flaky, the first thing I would do is go into the web interface, copy the timers and program statements then paste them into Notepad or other text editor/word processor (just for safekeeping). Then, I'd reboot the AC3.

If, after reboot, it still is not behaving properly, reload the firmware.

Have you reached the limit of program lines? I think in the AC3 it's 100 lines but I'm out of the country at the moment and don't have my notes with me.

Way ahead of you RussM, I always have a copy of program names and the program in documents. I walked away from it for about an hour. Still the same thing, then it starting working fine, just lost all datalog. I hope this is not a regular occurance.

Smart man!

Ken makes a quite valid point... 100 program lines is the max for AC3. Could this be the case?
