RE: [TCML] (no subject) - switching between different kinds of gaps

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

Bear in mind that when switching between gap types, it will be necessary to adjust the cap size.  If your static gap is operating at 200+ BPS and you switch to s sync RSG at 120BPS, you're going to process less power.  A cap that's properly sized for a sync gap will be too large for use with a static gap.  And of course if you change the cap size, you'll need to do some significant retuning.  Generally when one switches between gap types, it's a major overhaul, and not something where you can change just the gap and see what happens.
