Thank you for the post. I have a question, I have thought about having recovery deep and fast on at the same time but never tried it. I never read anything about having them both on at the same time. How does that work? I thought it might have a negative effect. Can someone comment on this?

Thank you Jim

I think that is too much for microprocessor to read all data from coil even with very slow sweeping speed.
