Hi Brian

Glad that you like the EMC. You're welcome for the tiny part that I had
in making it what it is.

I have already helped you with the looping thing. Click on scripts
->loop in the tkemc menu and enter the name of the file that you want to
loop. You'll see a small widget that lets you start a loop. Once started
that widget will let you stop at the next end (m2, M30, M60 or %), or
stop now (kill). You can also ask the loop program to reset the
backplotter on each loop. (I did this for a continuous demo)

Good luck
