Setting the initial voltage to something far off of optimum would be interesting... I seem to remember it taking several minutes to acquire.

I just upgraded from 3.0 beta and was hoping to get these additions from your download page, but the V4.00 version doesn’t appear to have them. I see from your screen shots that you are up to V4.08. Is this available to the nuts public? Another Q. I see that with 4.0 I see « LEAP: PENDING! «  whereas on your V4.08 screen shot I see the countdown. Where does LH get this info from?

Thx,
Mike
