Greetings Kirk,

It is my understanding that the “charged parms met” comes from the FNDC since 
that is the component measuring the current and going by those guidelines in 
the “Battery Setup” menu assigned to the FNDC port. This would seem like a 
reasonable test and could be done remotely through Opticsre without requiring a 
trip to the site as well. Perhaps Lones can comment on this strategy?

Sometimes the smallest insignificant details can trigger a client regardless of 
how well we did with the rest of the system. I feel for you!

Nick
