In order to compensate for FSD this parameter can be set to add extra time to the DWELL parameter for the first shot.
FILTER THE FILTER MENU The parameters on the Filter Menu are all used to tune the Geo’s software filters which prevent the Geo from firing unless all of the necessary conditions are met.
FULL pull TM Tumbling paintballs can take time to settle in the breech before they can be successfully fired. This parameter is used to set the amount of time that a paintball has to be in the breech before the Geo is allowed to fire. This parameter can be set between 1.0 and 20 milliseconds in 0.5ms increments. The PULL TM parameter is used to set the minimum amount of time that the trigger must be pulled before it is recognised as a valid trigger pull. This parameter can be set between 1.0 and 20.
THE RELEASE POINT parameter The REL PT parameter is only available if OPTO has been selected in the Hardware Menu. REL PT defines the point at which the trigger is considered released and is adjustable between 1% and 49% in 1% increments.
