Well, I guess *Any* Pulse train that does not inject errors is good !
So, I guess I'd leave it alone !


You said it earlier, there will be no optos in the next Hardware
release. In that regard, I have a hunch that you will see the V2
hardware portion show up real quick and it likely will take us to levels
one never thought they'd take it to.

I know that they really are spending the time necessary to get it to
run perfect with even the older V90T series chips. Gotta love a company
that cares about the fellow who bought a control 5 years ago and wants
an easy upgrade. in contrast, I was a little "miffed" when Indexer
jumped to the levels above V3 and then made their new HPGL interface not
work with it...The Earlier hpgl version had one bug that I needed to get
a work around for. It was fixed in the new version which did not run
with the old TSR. Not much of a "upgrade" option was offered. Still, I
have a lot of respect for IndexerLPT, No-one seems to be able to get
what he does out of an old box for pulse rates.
