Hi Steve, Sebastian,
I was on a no-Internet no-News vacation for the past week,
that is why I haven't responded.  Sorry.  In any case my
test stand suddenly started working, for no reason that I
can see, and so, for now, I have not been able to continue
my testing.

I will keep poking at it from time to time, see if I can
get the issue to come back.

Joe
