Can you please post a sticky on how to set Einstein up with the CC in all configurations(with and without light/s already saved on the sd card or onboard mem)? If the instructions already exist, please let me know where to find them. Thanks.
Looking forward to spending time with these full featured flash units.

I was typing one up as you posted this :) , it is now up. To clarify, if you have lights already in a set up, go to "Open Memory" then select the new light's channel then open. This will add the new light to the rest of them. You can now save the new set up.

Ok so I did tests today with PWII and Bagabond II, will fire at about 4 feets and also doing something very strange, when the sun is hitting the slave flash sensor my flash keeps going off like crazy with and without PWII as soon I put my hand over it, it stops flashing is anyone having similar problem.
I did some shots when I got it using pocket wizard and with out let but did not have any issues until I took it into the sun.
I will contact Tech. on monday and see what they say about it.

I haven't seen this particular slave problem before. The slave should be disabled via the menu when using radio tripping.

Yeah thats what I thought too and my Bees work fine but the E640 goes nut when the sun hits, if I put it the shade it stops firirng and makes a busing sound when its charging.

Could this be done with firmware on the Einstein, such that the Einstein's slave is automatically disabled when the CSXCV is in the socket?

Assuming I don't have any remote triggers and receivers
and want the least expensive set to work with Einsteins
would this combination work without any problems:

CST transmitter ($59.95)

CSXCV Transceiver Module ($29.95)

Thanks.

That combo would be fine, and aboiut as inexpensive as it gets.

Here are my findings so far (Thanks Pete):

PW MultiMax connected to Eisteins with PW MultiMax next to Eisteins results in less than 20'

PW MultiMax connected to Eisteins with PW MultiMax moved about 4' from the Eisteins results in less than 20'

PW MultiMax connected to a Nikon SB800 with both the PW and SB800 right next to the Eisteins results in about 60'

Could some sort of interference be carried over the sync cable to the PW?
