I asked a mate (real techy guy) and he gave me some ideas, heres what i did:

Firstly i recorded the video file with sound, just a mic would be better but i only have a mic on my digital camera.

I then played this is windows media player.

Whilst playing it i pressed record in a piece of software called Nero Wave editor (comes with NeroMediaPlayer by Ahead). This recorded the sound file and made it appear on the screen as a wave going across the screen. I was then able to highlight a second in time (about an inch on the screen) and count the little waves, that represented the sound made whilst clicking the trigger. I did this for every second of the 9 second sample and then wrote the results down. All this takes 5mins.

Incase anyone was wondering the results were 10,9,11,10,10,10,9,10,2.

Excluding the 2 when i was turning the camera off i got an average of about 10bps which i'm happy with.

If anyone needs help with this in the future just pm me and i'd be happy to help...

Make sure you account for different background noises....trigger hitting the back of the frame/switch....echoing from poor mics ect....but 10 sounds about right

If anyone ever wants to check there bps just send me a audio or video file, i'd be happy to help now i know how.

Tis easy to just do it over a red competition chrono... i got 15bps the other day. Forgot about it reading bps and i was just test shootin me gun on rapid fire lol

I believe that Matrix uses the same "logic" to determine bps as an Angel.

WAS Timmy has the only "true" LCD display of bps I've seen which is why they are usually slower in like for like set ups.

As for the red chrono's, I've read that their bps readings are only accurate up to about 8per sec as the sample rate isn't fast enough, anything much faster and it get's itself confused so not reliable readings. But has anyone got a spec sheet?

The Matrix LCDs count how many pulls in a one second period and surprisingly enough thats the BPS figure. None of the nonsense that goes on with the angel
