Shooting Chrony Gamma & Printer....

[Wheres-Waldo]

I pulled mine out of the woodwork today to start it up for the first time in a good while.

Fisrt off, I printed off the manuals for both the chronograph itself and the printer.

- Step one was to erase all the memory from when I last used it, leaving it with no stored strings of fire.

- Step 2 was to power up the printer. The supplied power adapter is a Casio AD-A60024.... a 120v input, 6v @ 240mA output. The Manual states that this adapter puts out 6v @ 500mA...either way, the AC adapter didnt work.

So I pop in some batteries and turn everything on (under flourescent light, if that has any bearing). All values were at -00-. The printer must have been feeling cooped up, as soon as I pressed STAT, it went fucking nuts.

It printed the fallowing, of which I can not descipher using the manual.

So on and so forth...
I proceeded to turn everything off, except for the printer.
I tried turning the little guy off, but he wouldnt have any of that! I had to pull out a battery.

I repeated the process with the same results.

I can turn the printer on and off while plugging it up to the chrono and it will behave, printing the appropriate test score/code....and the correct code again when I turn it off. If I press any buttons on the printer other than to test print, feed, power on, power off and print/no print, it goes into scroll's of Gilgamesh mode and I have to pull a battery to stop it.

Ide like to get this guy figured out before I actualy need it to pull data from the field. Anyone regularly use one of these and think they could point me in the right direction?

Re: Shooting Chrony Gamma & Printer....

cycle rate of flourescent light......... is twice the norm....of incandecent?.........might have something in the equation?.........manual advises no "flourescent light"

Definitely NO Fluorescent lights. You might have better luck if you add he lighting kit that Shooting Chrony sells and turn off the fluorescent lights.

I have a shooting chrony and right now it's stored under the back seat of my truck. It's sensitive to light. Under the baffles at the range it won't work worth a crap. Out in an open pit it works 97% of the time. I bought a PACT XP Pro with I/R sensors for my range work and keep the Chrony for when one of my shooting buddies wants to "see what my rounds are doing".

Don't care if they shoot that one.
