Babaganoosh Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Just got a Pro Chrono Digital and am either going to get the remote or the USB hookup to connect to my netbook. Anyone use either of these setups? I am leaning towards the USB setup because I am basically using the laptop as a remote. It saves everything to the netbook and calculates power factors. It is also about half the price. Anything I should know about that would influence my decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Taliani Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Price wise, the USB is the way to go. Another plus is that depending on your vision, the laptop is a lot easier to see than the chrono screen. The obvious downside is that you have to take a laptop with you to the range. I've also heard the software leaves much to be desired. I've been going back and forth as well. I really wish the remotes were more reasonably priced. I have a hard time justifying paying the same price for the box as I paid for the chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babaganoosh Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 My netbook is pretty small so I have no issues bringing it with me. Maybe I'll just buy it from Midway and return it if it sucks. I did hear the software kinda blows but I believe the updated it with new firmware. I got the chrono for my birthday from my girl so the price of the add on isn't a deal breaker but I get what you mean about it costing almost the same as the chrono itself. I think I read something about the remote being able to upload to the pc as well. Decisions decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
