Magazine Training for Aves

Hello I am working on my first MedPC program and am trying to modify a program I found that Gary Bamberger made in 2013.
I need a 90 VI with non-contingent food access of 8 sec. (access not delivery as it is a scatter feeding quail feeder not a pellet dispenser).
I need it to run 60 minutes OR until 20 food hopper entries are made.
I need to count food hopper entries while the hopper is ON only.
This is what I am working from, I have made some modifications.
