Does anyone know the time scale on the QD gyre mode? I know 1 dot is 2 seconds and all the dots is 2 hours. Does anyone know the scale it does not appear to be linear. I am willing to do the curve fit if I can get some data points.

Mark,

went to this manual from the ecotech website:

If you look at the long pulse mode it states when youre setting the speed, the low is 2 seconds and the max is 2 hours as you said. The first 6 LEDS represent 2 seconds to 2 minutes, the 7th through 12th represent 5, 10, 20, 60, 90, and 120 minutes respectively. Not sure what pulse length you're looking for, but it doesn't go into the same detail for the first 6 time intervals as it does for the last 6 intervals. Not sure why...that's weird.

Thanks, I was trying to help a friend out.

No problem. Just had a thought. I figure that it has to be on a similar scale for the first six. Maybe the first 6 are the same intervals but in seconds instead of minutes?

2 5 10 20 60 90 120 - (seconds)

5 10 20 60 90 120 - (minutes)

The only problem is that would be 13 dots, and there's 12 of them. We know with a certainty what 7-12 are, and we know the first dot is 2 seconds, and the 6th dot is 120 seconds. If I had to guess I would say that there is no 90 second setting, which would make it an even 12 dots.

Who knows, but the link answered what they wanted to know. Thanks again.
