Hi again

Calling FvM and dwh@ovro.caltech.edu for help please!

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35426

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43986

and I thank dwh@ovro.caltech.edu for supplying them

The solution does not seem to be working for me

Why is it doing this?

Thanks
