Will TLM remain in use, or be decommissioned once the Sheldon flies? If the former, perhaps parallel two runs of the flexible stuff¹; if the latter, then either way works? Erik ¹ Two runs might lead to 1/9 of the heating, through tripling of the power conductors, since there's no call to parallel the signal conductors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
