<p class=MsoPlainText>  - ok, so I can make it barf by simulating the start/integrate a few/stop of an OTF. now trying to increase the blanking time by a lot to see if it still will crash. Changing blank signal to 330/100. Repeating same cmd series as above x14. Fine on run 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14. Never crashed. Trying doSeries 2;sleep 3;... x100 now. Just fine. Trying again...DIED AFTER ~82 “doSeries 2; sleep 3”s!!

<p class=MsoPlainText>                                   then 4 BSP’s, then 4 more PS scans. Measurements varied

<p class=MsoPlainText>                                   by 20% from each. Using the mean would yield an efficiency of

<p class=MsoPlainText>                                                   50%
