Amanda promotes and bumps dumps (within the parameters you set, e.g. dumpcycle, bumpsize, etc) with the goal of equalizing (not maximizing) tape usage. I.e., the goal is to have each night's run use the same amount of tape. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
