Hi Zhu,
thanks for the detailed explanation. I set the dwell timer to 150 ms and now 
everything works fine. Sorry, I did not now that a dwell timer of 200 ms 
would case problems.

Could you please set the dwell timer to 150 ms or do you want me to create 
another patch?

Thanks again for your support!

Greetings,
Thomas
