Herx, Its not that simple, I do not have time right now but I will get back to you.
Do you have th program Wplot32.exe? If not I will send it to you along with some data plots and show you how to navigate within it. Tehn you will see one of the missing parameters that is screwing up the works. And that is energy input. It is going to come down to fixing the cell geometry and some record keeping. Back to yuo later. "Ole Bob" herx wrote: > Hi Bob, > I've been following your recent work on current levels with great > interest.
