User Manual Operating Instructions You have purchased a fine quality shooting chronograph. This camera was designed to be accessible to everyone. The CED M2 Shooting Chronograph System, launched in 2005 is based on the original CED Millennium Chronograph.The team here at Kron Technologies wishes you all the best of luck in your research, experimentation or just plain fun with the Chronos 1.4. When CED introduced their first chronograph in 1999, only optical chronographs were available and available products had not changed much for decades.I decided on the CED M2 because it gave me the option of using both battery powered Infrared Screens along with regular Sky Screens as most of my practicing is done in an old dairy barn which has no power available, but sometimes I'll move outside, so like using the Sky Screens when doing so.Monipuolinen laadukas luodinnopeusmittari. Allot has been going on in the world of chronographs.
The trouble is: I'm an Apple fanatic and don't own a PC, and am not about to buy one simply to solve this problem.So my question to you is: does anyone know of another brand of printer that could be plugged into my CED M2, similar to the way one of the other chronographs printers plug in - and work shot to shot?I'm getting wicked tired of stopping after each shot to make note of the F/S reading for that shot.Well, I've never been a Apple fan due to the limitations Apple puts on their systems for outside developers and that's one of the reasons for your dilemma. The set-up is designed to be plugged into the USB port on a PC after each session in order to download all your stored data, but offers no printer. Professional.Now for the problem.
If I was a little better in application development I would have an application that allowed you to identify the data on the computer for the following shots. However, even with the memory cards you still have to take notes as to what each series of shot data on the card refers to. I have a CED, Kurzeit, Magnetospeed and now a Labradar. I sold my Ohler 35P to a friend because all the other chronographs I have store the data on a memory card.
Ced M2 Shooting Chronograph Upgrade Path From
The Apple user interface is not intuitive for me. Hopefully I'm wrong and we see some apps that will do the job we need.By the way, I bought an Ipad for myself and gave it to my daughter after a month or so. I think that tagging the data is an area that is being missed by the developers of these apps. Kurzeit now has bluetooth capability but there is no upgrade path from current systems and you have to buy a whole new system to get that. Labrador is working on an app that will send the data wirelessly to a tablet or smartphone.
There are a lot of other considerations when you collect velocity data. It's been around for a while. I've used the utility to transfer the velocity data to a PC.
Then as you start shooting according to your plan the velocity data would be transferred, in real time. On the day of shooting, enter the environmental conditions as you start shooting and update as they change to any significant extent. Most importantly, you have to tie the value of these factors to that velocity number.My ideal app would allow you to specify all of the permutations of the firearms and ammunition on the computer prior to going to the range.In other words, lay out your plan in advance on your computer. So, unless you capture the factors that result in a velocity, you can't replicate it.
I'm working on setting up some cheat sheets so I can manually capture all the pertinent data for each shot string as I test.I have both a RAW BM 500 in. The PVM-08 by Kurziet has the real-time transfer but had serious problems in linking to computers from Windows 8 on due to driver issues.Well, that's my discourse on this for now. When I was working for Lockheed Martin in avionic systems development we used to call requests from our customer as WIBNIF's or "Wouldn't It Be Nice If".Shooting Laboratory by Jim Ristow has some of the capabilities I'd like, but no real-time data transfer. Changes in atmospheric pressure would have minimal effect on velocity all other factors being nominal.I'm not aware of any commercially available application that does this, but it sure would be nice. So you would just step through each scenario as you follow your plan.Now there's an old saying " Why measure with a micrometer is you're going to mark with a grease pencil and cut with an ax?" Some of these parameters would fall into that category, such as atmospheric pressure. This way you could capture all the relevant data that applies to each shot and it's velocity.
177 set for HV and an Air Arms S 400 MFR in. And, before that, and my oldest two, are a Theoben MPR in. 177 set up for the HV Class (under 20 fpe). Then I've got a RAW TM 1000 in. I've got that one set at either side of 30 fpe.
I can bring everything out beside my house and shoot as long as I want without bothering anybody. They all shoot great and I've won lots of matches, but now I'm starting to wind down and only shoot competitively 7 or 8 times a year.It's still fun as when I want to shoot I don't have to pack up the truck and drive up to the range, 23 miles each way, only to find it's closed for the day because the Police are running their drills and train exercises. At more than 2 grand each just to buy, plus additional costs to bring them to the top, it all comes out to between 10 and $12,000, plus scopes. All of which have the BR stuff on them, meaning custom stocks, big powered scores and the whatnot.All shoot lighs out, but sometimes I wonder why I've got duplicate guns for the same Classes.
I returned the old unit and they sold me a up to date one for about $80.Whether you can make it worth with Mac.I don't know, but I tried several times and even wrote CED a letter about my problems trying to use Stuffit Expander. It turned out that my main CED unit was from 2007, and was incompatible with CED's current PC software. Time will tell.And, as for iMac or PC debate, I guess it's to each their own.Thanks for your input, and I'm sure that someday even though my main system will probably stay an iMac, I too will own a PC only to diversify.DaveI've had the same problem.a Mac person, I also have a HP laptop running Windows 7. The only thing needed is the Stuffix Expander software, so once I get that installed it looks like I'll be all set.
