    I'll try it. thnx.
    you asked about USB. I may have read (some other part of vfd) that fast commands, stepping on each other, might cause a problem. Perhaps I'll try slowing my speed setting in SB3.
    I hope tech support is in tomorrow. I was behind schedule, and hoping to make up over the weekend.

    The speed control shouldn't hiccup no matter what the SB is doing in terms of USB/pulse stream data speeds. It isn't putting out or receiving much data in either direction...only a few bytes.

    I am sure support is around tomorrow & that they will know right away what the deal is.
