I typically utilize AGS for my clients in a 2 - wire start with a Diesel Genset setup. On 2 recently installed systems, one a FP2 and the other a FP1, the clients require "Must Run" to function. Of course it does not work. I can get it to work if I set the time for a few minutes later, but not for the next day. I have not used this feature ever in the past but since it is in the manual I wrongly assumed it would work. I am running firmware version 3.015 on both Mates. Tech support just wants me to do a factory reset and reprogram. That did not work. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anybody else having issues getting this feature to work?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On a related note, software problems are becoming a systemics issue in our industry. Being recently burned by Schneider because of a software issue (to the point of breaking an appliance), now this, and endless other little bugs from almost every manufacturer my frustration level with software in the off-grid world is at a all time high. Given the importance of supplying power I firmly believe our manufactures can not and should not take the same approach to software as Silicon Valley does. "Fail early and often" may work for Facebook, Google and Uber but it has no place in our industry. Keep it simple and fight the urge to engage in feature creep.
