Hi all

I got the period down to 6 seconds at the lower end, but at 4 seconds
the high end. But I have to do it adjust the period really slowly. I am
not sure what I can detect at 6 seconds.

Geoffrey, I know what you mean. I am trying to understand something in a
diffrent language and am trying to understand something that I have not
got a big traning on.

Regards.
