DRSSTC Timing Chart

Hi All,

I made up this DRSSTC timing chart:

I am running up to 5000 BPS now ;-))  Thus, all this timing stuff gets 
really important!!

It goes off Steve Ward's definitions but adds a bit more detail.  Steve 
said it sounded good to him.

Bang Time becomes Total Bang Time and Burst Time becomes Total Burst 
Time.  But that can be shortened to just the usual Bang Time and Burst Time 
in most cases.  It helps to distinguish between Bang Time and Bang On Time 
when that level of detail is being discussed.

The Burst Off Time has me a little perplexed as to where it should begin 
and the Burst On Time should end?   I think that should be moved to the 
right past the last Bang On Time with the added Bang OFF time too:

That "looks" a bit odd, but is "technically" more correct for say 
programming purposes.  It will really get strange when one plays with Bang 
On Time and Bang Off Time during Burst On Time* ;-))  I think you can 
modulate the coil that way for really strange effects ;-))

It is rather hard to abbreviate these things since they have the same 
beginning letters...  Could do like BAonT and BUonT...  Or maybe we could 
agree on T1, T2, T3...  From the magic "chart"??  That is what I have 
started doing.  Anyone who is "up there" enough to care about this stuff 
will get the Tx designations real fast...  I think we are starting to run 
out of room for too many more abbreviations anyway.

Cheers,

*It will really get strange when one plays with T1 and T2 during T4.  - 
Thus the advantage of using Tx abbreviations...
