Feedback

Installation didn't work until I did this:
Double click on the Neurostreet folder and double click on NS_DataLagTimer

(SHOULD SAY CLICK "Add" then click OK.)

Your directions do not include the "add" before clicking OK.

The lag timer seems to have stopped working for me after a couple weeks of use. The instruments are current and updating but its stuck at 60 minutes. I tried clearing my cache for each instrument but had no luck, any suggestions?
