Thanks for the response Daniel, but sadly it is exactly 30k. The machine has a readout on the display which gives a warning at 25k and stops functioning at 30k. I'll post again when the 1-Wire usb and the scanner come in.

Thanks again for the responses!

I could be flat wrong but 30k is close to 32k, which is one of those
magical numbers.  It could be incrementing a counter that is evaluated
as a 16 bit signed integer (which overflows at 32767 + 1).   Depending
on the rest of the code, it could be as simple as changing it to a
long integer.
