Just a FYI, I noticed my apex missed 4 doses Bc we lost an hour due to daylight savings. Make the adjustment manually.

I would also like to add, the Salifert alkalinity log when inputting the test value it is wrong and not updated to match the new alk sheet numbers

We haven't lost an hour yet so I'm not too sure why it would skip it. Also I asked them why they have the wrong numbers for alkalinity and its because there are two ways to do the alkalinity test.

The dosing schedule is missing the entire 2AM
The time skipped this morning from 2 to 3 AM as a result of DST. I assume that is why there is no data. This is also why I have dosed about 600ml extra coffee today. :)

So your Apex didn't automatically adjust its clock or it did but still skipped an hour's worth of dosing? Or is it just the logging anomaly?

Nothing occurred between 2 and 3 because the time changed from 1:59 to 3:00 in the blink of an eye.

So it was just a logging anomaly. There was no 2am-3am time period last night on the clock. If you take that 2 hour period and ignore the clock - did it dose 2 hours worth?

you would think given the technolgy and how long apex has been out that this issue would have been already corrected.

It's not actually an issue, every computer system will show the same type of logging skip each time the clocks change. No way around it.

since this is a semi annual event possibly they can write code to dose an extra hour?

Why do you want it to dose in the second that it takes the click to switch from 2-3? You didn't miss an hour of dosing. That hour doesn't really exist thanks to daylight savings time.

Exactly what I've been trying to say! Thanks for saying it another way.
