Argo Navis & TPAS

Have any of you argo navis users out there tried setting up the TPAS function?
Does it work well for you?

I had a play with it this evening started off with a 6 star model.
I calculated for IE only and got a result of +6.8+-2

After fitting that model I did a run of 12 stars and got the following results:

RMS =5.3 (was 8.8)
PSD =7.1 (was 10.4)

CA =107.5+-36.5
IE =8.1+-1.7
NPAE =-81.6+-31.6

I tried adding terms ECES and ECEC but they seemed to degrade the PSD, so I fitted the above model. A test run touring globulars seemed to work fairly well so I went back to compute and selected "USE NOW AND SAVE".

After powering off and back on again, I went back into "SET ERROR VALUES" and upon looking for the values calculated from the prior session they were all zeros
