** After five consecutively similar swings, the swing period at the top of the screen should change from the default value of 900 to the actual swinging period of the bell (in milliseconds). | ** After five consecutively similar swings, the swing period at the top of the screen should change from the default value of 900 to the actual swinging period of the bell (in milliseconds). | ||
* After the bell has coasted to about 20 degrees, watch for the period to update then press the '''ON''' key to save it current period. The display will say ''Stop'' and the top period will remain static. The bottom right number will indicate the approximated angle that the bell is swinging. | * After the bell has coasted to about 20 degrees, watch for the period to update then press the '''ON''' key to save it current period.

#The angle that you select below will not be the true angle, but if you can get the bell to ring properly, don't be overly concerned with the number | #The angle that you select below will not be the true angle, but if you can get the bell to ring properly, don't be overly concerned with the number | ||
#If you set the Oscillation angle too high, the start period will be too long and the bell may fight against the period at start up. It is better to set the oscillation period to an angle that the motor can reasonably reach with the start pulses than an accurate 20 degrees. | #If you set the Oscillation angle too high, the start period will be too long and the bell may fight against the period at start up.
