    Complete all changes in the upper Defined Variables section.
    1. Enter On=0,Off=1 cell A4 = 1
    2. Enter Adjuster = 1
    3. Enter TURNS = 9
    4. Enter S's Count = 25
    5. Enter Var = 12
    6. Enter Divisor = 39,708,609,295
    7. Enter top = "=ROUND((-B4*PI())+(Adj),0)"   9679383
    8. Enter YN = N
    9. Enter Power = 2
    10. All the rest are the same as they were before.

    Complete all changes in the upper Columnar Formulas section.
    1. c = -24625 as the result of "=ROUND(-EXP((PI()^2)+(Cc*-(db))),0)+Designer"
    2. Enter to D7:D1447 w/ D7 active "=X7/Divisor+IF(COS((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor)<0,ABS(COS((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor))^Power*-1,COS((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor)^Power)"
    3. Enter to E7:E1447 w/ E7 active "=Y7/Divisor+IF(SIN((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor)<0,ABS(SIN((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor))^Power*-1,SIN((ROW()-7)*PI()/180*Factor)^Power)"
    4. The External Ring and GMLL x,y and GMSL x,y formulas are unchanged. All other formulas and lookup tables are unchanged.
    5. Check that F7:F1447 with F7 active contains "=IF(A7=0,F6,((PI())*((SIN(B7/(C7*2))*GMLL*COS(B7)*GMLL*(COS(B7/(C7*2)))*GMLL)+D7)))"'
    6. Check that G7:G1447 with G7 active contains "=IF(A7=0,G6,((PI())*((SIN(B7/(C7*2))*GMLL*SIN(B7)*GMLL*(COS(B7/(C7*2)))*GMLL)+E7)))"
    7. Check that Sync1 refers to H2 and Sync2 refers to J2. Check the H2 formula, "=H1/GMLL" and check the J2 formula, "=J1/GMSL".
    8. Check the H7 formula, "=F7*GMLL*Sync1" and the I7 formula, "=G7*GMLL*Sync1".
    9. Check the J7 formula, "=F7*GMSL*Sync2" and the K7 formula, "=G7*GMSL*Sync2".
    10. Check that the lookup tables are unchanged.
