Hi Jayson,

I forward your request to the right place.
Carlos (or some other) will have an answer, or at least some questions for you.

>
> I managed to get the device sort-of working, but i'm getting the

> I am sending you some output to see if it will be of any help to you. I am

> wish, I can take it apart to try and glean some more info. The
> package/instructions do not contain and solid data on this matter.

> Here is some output; if you need anymore or have any suggestions to bring

> Thanks graciously for your time.
