Hi Jim!
I saw the second paragraph that you wrote and the explanations are perfect!
My suggestion was instead of describing it in two paragraphs, try
describing the parameter in just one (and the text I sent was just a
suggestion).
But your document is perfect for me! It was just to simplify, as in the
description of the other parameters.
Sincerely, Carlos
