well, add one more display to my apex setup.
i found all 5 of the EB8 were on a older FW. so i updated all the EB8 FW, then my salinity reading went from 33.5 shoot up to 68.5 on both of my PM2 and temp reading on my PM1 went from 78 to 20.8 and one PM2 temp reading went from 76 to 67.4. one PM2 temp reading from 78 to 70.
apex running the 4.30
EB8 FW 011
PM1 FW 002
PM2 FW 002
everytime i refresh the dashboard it will show a different temp and salinity reading. but if you check history the reading still at 20.8 for PM1 and 68.5 salinity reading.
yes i did restart the apex after the FW update.

any one have this issue before? should i unplug all eb8 to power cycle the apex system?

You may need to recalibrate the salinity probe but the temp reading 20 sounds like your temp probe isn't connected (or went bad).

i didnt touch any of the probes. i dont think 3 temp probes went out at once. but will try to put a new probe see what happen.
i think it's a software issue, because 2 systems 2 different probe reading actually the same 20.4 F. one probe just reading 0
will do a FW update from 4.3 to 4.31 on the apex see what happen.

have to do total reset in order to get everything back to normal.
just about to finish reprogram everything. now found one of the EB8 only have 6 slots showed, missing 2 of them...
