Hi all,
Just for the record - this little system was the magnifier I
scoped a month or two back to check the magnifier modelling going on
at the time. System frequency was around 500kHz. Only difference
between those tests and this recent firing in the setup itself is
that the topload I used for firing was a bit smaller than that used
in the scope tests. Ksys was about 0.09 from memory.
