You just need to ensure that the voltage measurements are taken at the connections to the reactors themselves. This measurement is used both for the measurement log, and in the control of the power level. Because modern voltmeters have very high input resistances, the current drain they represent can be ignored. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
