I am also a programmer (28 yrs);  I am always amazed at how many of us there are building airplanes (way more than the small percentage of the population would indicate!!!!).
 
Well, back to trying to find that '1 line of code' that the other guy must have put in the wrong place!!!  I swear that when I retire I will never write another line of code.

Ed,
Welcome to my world.
Well the part about the one line of code not the other aircraft stuff.
Such is the life of a Software Engineer.
I have always found the best way to improve code is to remove some.
The more you remove the better it works. :o)

Turns out I changed ONE line of code this morning before taking it out and had not bothered to check it on the laboratory pulse meter. I mean it was a very simple change {:>).   It didn't work on it any better back at home than it did on the aircraft.  But, it was a relief to know it was a simply code screw up.  Eliminated that line of code and all is back working.
 
So what started out to be a bad day (relatively speaking) ended up pretty nice.
