Owners name confusion

Hello everybody,

Thanks for a very helpful and informative forum. I have a very simple question regarding the info contained in the 'system' 'show tag' section ....

I have two line items here detailing device name as 'Mau_KPA' and owners name as 'Shawn' (my name). I think the 'Mau_KPA may be an artefact of using another member's backup in the past - Maurizio70 (He kindly posted his backup to give new users a headstart) but not really sure and I didn't have too much success understanding the relevance or function of this data from the manuals.

The question has actually arisen as a result of trying to use the new rig management software - I connected to the rig exchange fine (folder now contains 3926 rigs) but have another folder named 'Mau_KPA' that shows 0 rigs inside. I want access to the rigs on my Kemper and I think that my failure to do so is something to do with the 'show tag' naming issues.

I don't wish to confuse the question with my rig management software issues - I will no doubt work it out in due course but will really appreciate it if anyone can get the ball rolling by explaining the difference between device name and owner name, what function do they perform, should they be the same, should I delete one of these entries, etc etc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Shawn.

Thanks for a prompt response G String - your support of the product and continual enhancements are a credit to you and you deserve every success with this brilliant piece of kit.

With regard to the question in hand, I noted your comment "device name not very important right now" and was happy enough to take this onboard without full understanding. However, I can confirm that (for my setup at least) RigManager recognises 'device name' and not 'owner name' - when I plug in the USB interface, it is Mau_KPA(0) that shows in the left hand window of RigManager (with a pictorial representation of the Kemper unit) ie the 'device name'. When I changed this in the system menu on the Kemper to match 'owners name', I could then see Shawn(0). This does seem to contradict what you stated in your reply and either way it is still not recognising any rigs in the unit. (And yes, I did lose all my favourites status with the name change - worse things happen at sea!). BTW, I was sure to make sure that the 'author's name' in the software's settings correlated with my changes so this isn't the issue.

I suspect that this may be due to the fact that the software is still in beta and I've decided to put to one side for the time being and will revisit at a later date. It will no doubt be a great addition to the Kemper's functionality sometime soon.

Best regards,
Shawn.

Sorry I'd misunderstood your earlier response (Doh!) - now it is clear.
Thanks for the clarification.
Shawn.
