Further information. 1. Uninstalled the software and installed version 1.2.1 all the windows work properly. I have a Telemetrum v1.0 unit.
2. I still cannot fire an igniter. I have tried several different one and every different types..When I arm it then fires it says connecting to COM3. I have always flown this as a data logger and tracker but this will be the first time I have used it for dual deploy. The battery voltage is reading 4.0 volts and the igniters read 3.5 Volts. The resistance is 1.7 ohms for each igniter. I did make the mod to the battery removing the board as suggested. I would like to fly this weekend at KLOUDBURST but am afraid to rely on this altimeter if I cannot ground test. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, I getting desperate.

Also, after I press > fire the software acts like it is reconnecting to the altimeter.. Does the TeleMetrum beep at you like it's restarting? If not, you're not having a problem with the flight computer, you're having a problem with the ground station software. Given the oddity of not being able to close the monitor window, sure seems like something isn't happy between the altosui application, the Java runtime, and the operating system. I personally know too little about Windows to be much help here. > I have used all this last year with no problems and was wanting to > test before a launch next weekend. Any thoughts? Definitely sounds like something got updated on your computer in the interim that our software isn't happy about.
