Pfft!!  If you see an inconsistency, point it out.  I probably missed it,=
 and there'd be a hidden demon somewhere.  You=20
guys will forgive me for doing something stupid, and help me figure it ou=

According to Newton, and kill me for my stupidity.

I will run the tests again later, once I have a better experimental setup=
 and I have a better handle on the software.=20
I'm curious to know exactly how accurately I can pin down the characteris=
tics with this method.

One other issue I noticed.  The ECU gives a clearing pulse when you turn =
it on.  The idea is to provide a way to clear=20

red this, but I might not have that feature=20
turned off.  I'll have to investigate it further.
