Finally got the hang of that new flight data recorder software

Last week at the hangar in Phoenix, I had to pull data from a 737's recorder after a maintenance check. The new software had been giving me trouble for months, but this time I followed the steps from the manual exactly and it worked on the first try. I got the full data set in about 20 minutes, which saved me a ton of time. Has anyone else had to learn this new system and found a good trick for it?

So you actually read the manual? I gave up on that thing after the first confusing chapter. What specific step finally made it click for you, because the interface still feels backwards to me.

That software is still a total nightmare for me.

What's the worst part for you? I swear some updates just make things more confusing. It feels like they're trying to fix what wasn't broken.
