Rule number one, if it used to work, there is a reason (possibly multiple reasons) it does not work now. Divide and conquer. Rule number two, If you are getting flustered, step back, take a small break and try not to think about the problem.  Think about the beer or steak dinner you are going to treat yourself to later on. You have it extremely lucky on your watches.  You don't have any issues other than purely mechanical.  I had environmental, mechanical, electrical, software, hardware, and internet issues to try to interpret.   One time we had to fly in the representatives of three different manufacturers of products to find the problem.  It seemed all three of the different manufacturers said the linking of their products would work BUT THEY NEVER PUT THEM TOGETHER TO SEE. It was a 6 month crapfest with everyone pointing fingers at everyone else and not themselves on a 6.2 million dollar project.  The problem was found by one manufacturer bringing with them a special computer code translator and ultimately finding out their device was actually a 4 component instead of a 16 component as we were told.  The second we hooked up more than 4 devices on the 16 device box, we lost all communications to all devices.Sorry to ruin the thread.  The more I explained, the more I had to explain.</blockquote>
