This is an additional options for the DGT support. Arena have many other additional options for the DGT support. I like it to try to create own ideas because everytime we have the same constellation: In case of DGT: DGT give the clock, board and a lot of examples for programmers. The programmers can try to make a GUI better with a good DGT support. In the case the GUI programmer used the work from an other programmer! And for the energy compensation / balance the GUI programmer and his team can give good ideas to the DGT programmers back. Allways the same ... Best Frank
