Re: victor 884 basics

Sorry for bumping/hijacking an old thread, but does anyone know if its possible to get an even wider duty cycle range out of the Victor without increasing the total period length? For a personal project, I'm using Victors with CIMs, and they don't seem to have quite the variety of speeds I'm looking for. I get around 12 distinct power settings in the forward direction and about 3 in the reverse--this is definitely a problem that needs fixing. (As a note, when I connect the same CIM to a Jaguar and give the Jag the same inputs as I gave the Victors, I get variance smooth enough that I can't count distinct speeds going forward, and about five speeds going back.)
