Brad,
Installed new s/w at Hud today & found an interesting Feature? in the new file i/o stuff.  When you "Restore settings", the panel does not completely appear for 21-30 seconds.  The window cannot be dismissed until it appears.  Only the outline of the window shows for this long duration.  Hud customer is quite happy w/ new APC but doesn't think much of new file stuff w/ long window wait for settings.  This does NOT happen for the data player/recorder, etc.; ONLY restore settings.  Needless to say, this is quite long & I would like to know what we can do about it SOON.  It would be nice to know if we can get a change by morning cuz Yutaka is going back to Hud tomorrow, but if it takes longer, then I will have to go later.  Also, NTT has the same problem.

New APC definitely works better than old version.  Hud could only use a convergence rate of 1.2 for their sine sweep test.  We were able to use 8.0 today w/ better results.  Got all axes tuned at Hud to +/3% from 0.5 to 50 Hz.  MHI put a bigger accumulator on the system and now the max vertical noise is only 15 gal (5 gal on horizontals).  Did have as much as 100 gal on the verts w/ 30-40 gal on horizontals.

I may even try to call you Mon. morning if I can stay up.  Hope you can do something about the big delay.
