I would say at least 25-30apm power supply. My CTX M has a max of 13apm draw. Some low turn motors draw too many amps and the CTX's protection feature beeps and shuts down. I think the Surikarn version has been bumped up to 20 amps.

Pulse mode is like pulling on the throttle and releasing. This is repeated for as long you program it. I use a Kose Turbo fan on the motor to put even more load during break ins.

Constant voltage is for running lathes and/or continuous break ins.

This piece of equipment is really not necessary but it is very handy and you get some cool points for it. It also saves having to use a 4 cell. You need a big power supply so you can charge and run the CTX at the same time.

Hope this helps
Well, the main reasong i wanna get a CTX MM is i wanan try tuning my own motors.

One thing is like you have said, i don need to have 4 cells on stand by to run in my motor and my lathe. I could use the MM to do all my stuff and still get some readings on my motors i am using.

Well, thanks for the explanation man.

Appreciated it.
