5.3 Rotation Settings (TPD & Direction)
Each rotor can be programmed independently:
- Turns-Per-Day (TPD): Adjust the TPD from 300 to 2300. Consult your watch manufacturer's recommendations for optimal TPD.
- Rotation Direction: Choose from Clockwise (CW), Counter-Clockwise (CCW), or Bi-directional (alternating CW and CCW). Bi-directional settings effectively double the TPD.
