FIE Doha 1.3 Firmware Chip

After months of testing, Eigertek is happy to announce the "Doha 1.3" upgrade for the popular Eclipse scoring machine. This plug-in chip fixes a compatibility problem with the saber program in the Doha chip and the Eclipse's static protection circuitry. With the Doha chip, a sliding contact between saber blades could set off the lights for a touch.

Eigertek recommends the upgrade for all clubs fencing saber. The Doha 1.3 chip also incorporates all of the timing changes required by the FIE in their November 2005 meeting in Doha, Qatar.

The Doha 1.3 chip is now included in all new Eclipses. As before, all existing Eclipse owners are entitled to a free upgrade through American Fencers Supply.

• Complies with all current FIE regulations
• Fixes a problem with sliding blade contact in saber
• Sets the foil debounce to exactly 13ms to reduce the number of non-registering touches in foil
• FREE to all Eigertek customers upon registration through American Fencers Supply (good through December 31, 2007)

The Doha 1.3 chip is available now from American Fencers Supply (http://www.amfence.com).
