ReefLink, Vortechs and standing wave calibration

Hi,

I got my ReefLink setup and successfully connected but by Radions and MP40s to it. Have made schedules for both and so far I am very happy. I did notice thought that when I run the Nutrient Transport mode it goes through all different timing settings for the short wave pulse. I had them auto-tuned before I connected them to ReefLink but since I had to do a factory reset in order to make them to communicate with the ReefLink that auto-tune data seems to be lost. How do I resolve this issue? I want Nutrient Transport mode to use a specific timing that works for my tank when it comes to generating a standing wave so I can fully utilize the main feature of this mode but at the same time have them connected to ReefLink? Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Go back to pulse mode and re-save a wave

I need to do another factory reset first? Now they are controlled by ReefLink and I can't change anything on the controllers themselves. Are there any instructions or documentation for this somewhere? Neither ReefLink or Vortech manuals talked about this.

Thanks.

No one knows? Documentation from EcoTech is very limited in this regards.

Thanks!

Even though I am connected to ReefLink, I still have the ability to use the controller to change settings should I want to. You could probably use ESL to switch to the wave mode and set it that way too.

Yes, but that only goes for one pump. The slave will either be in full force on or turned off. I would like to auto-tune a wave that works with both pumps at the same time so it can be saved for Nutrient Transport mode. Only way I have found to do that today is to have the pumps talk to each other as master/slave and do the auto-tune that way. Only problem that I then need to reset them before I can reattach them to ReefLink and ESL. That would also delete the wave information stored.
