I Was just being  sarcastic eric. This has gone on long on way to long.
The machine will give all the diagnostic info just won't download a

month. But not to have anything but the tank bag in all this time Really
HACKS ME OFF:(   I guess I'm venting my spleen but hopefully this will
be  a heads up for others. Don't believe it till you see it. Regards
