Same for the White. So the concept of Forward (one line switched high, and the other one automatically low) and Reverse is not native to the spike based on my testing.
Thanks for this additional detail. I was going from memory from last year. I went back and re-checked the datasheet and it appears you are correct.

I will correct or delete my earlier post(s) to the contrary.
