Display Preferences

Hi Mark, You don't need to go into the win. ini file to change your updates per second. i.e, UPDATES PER SECOND=30.

Hi Tom, You make a good point about the relationship in the two signals. We can see this in longer runs. However, it should also be pointed out that the flexplate can spin and land on the same spot as a good signal and stay there. I think it's important to say this because it has happened. I hope no...
