Reseting the counter is ok, but not ideal, let me tell you why, in my particular case i want to set the timer to 2 minutes, so each time i turn acc off i get presented with this screen. If i don t pay any attention, it will turn off in 2 minutes, if i want a delay, i'll press the appropiate button. If it works with rewriting param 1 then resetting the counter, the next time the computer starts, the default delay(unless i program it again) will be the long one, so if i don t pay any attention, i might leave the computer running when it doesn t need too.
For the report, i think 200ms, 400ms, 600ms, 800ms and 1000ms should be more than enough really.
Thanks again Jeff and thank you very much Iceman. Did you or anyone else get to run the app too?

I made a new setting. S27XXXX where X is increments of 10 milliseconds
IE. S270020 is the default of 200ms
S270500 is every 5 seconds
S279999 is every 99.99 seconds.
S270001 is every 10ms, but I don't think it will really go that fast, it is more like a max speed of every 50ms or so.. Putting it this low won't break anything though..

Before today, you could read the main counter at G49.

Now you can write the main counter IE S490001 sets it to 1 second for an immediate shutdown.

The same physical counter is used for the two main timers. So depending on the state, it means different things.
when the YNYY:3:0410 comes at the end of the line, that means that you are in the main countdown state with 410 seconds left. If you do a S490010, then you instantly have 10 seconds left.

Then you see
YNYY:4:0090 that is the time to kill counter. If the PC turns off really quick here, this time is typically short. But if not, you can speed it up by doing a S490010 again and it will go to 10 seconds.

email me at support at mpegbox dot com if you want a firmware upgrade package to try this out.
