eikon ems 300 not running dragonfly due to old firmware.

i like the look of the nedz to mix and match the combinations to find your "tune" but i do like to read the speed
my old ems200 displayed the speed of my stigma bizarre but screwewed up the readings for my coils

Power supplies with readouts won't give speed in CPS for most rotaries due to the lack of "On/Off cycles per second" (Hope I'm explaining that correctly). Many issues arise though, when (like with the Eikon 300), the duty cycle exceeds 99% and the supply turns itself off, which is supposed to be a safety measure with coils from what I recall. There are a few machines out there here and there that give one sort of reading or another, but I find that with a rotary, the best test of speed is to do some whip shading:

If you get "Train Tracks", it's running very slow for your hand speed
If you get "Peppery Dots", it may still be a little slow, but you're right around the sweet spot
If you get "Parallel Lines", it may be running a little fast for your hand speed

This works great if you are using a new rotary for the first time, and are unsure of the voltage 'sweet spot' or if you are running a power supply with out a voltage display.
