Herg,
I played around with my settings and here is where I am at currently on my Theatre of magic
They seem good but can these be improved to an optimum setting?
Also ,I dont understand when the active settings should be used,and how to know they go on with the trough coil?
String 3 has a couple bulbs that flicker when set to 1 thus the different
settings compared to the others
overall I am completely happy with the product and it gives this game just one more wow factor.

Quoted from herg:

There really is no such thing as "optimum settings" since a lot of it is personal preference. If you have B1 set where it doesn't flicker and B8 such that you like the brightness, that takes care of the brightness values.
The "fade delay" setting are there to tweak how quickly it changes from one brightness to another. For example, TOTAN has some very slow fading that looks a bit jerky if max is set to 10. I have mine set to 25.
The way you have it set, it will not change anything with coil activity. Checking the box under "Activity" will cause that string to use the lower row when coil activity is detected. In order to figure out which jumper location to use, you need to figure out which "bank" your desired coil is in.
I normally use trial and error and just move the jumper until the trough kickout triggers the "activity" change. Check the checkbox, set the second row of brightness values to something different, and start a game. If the brightness changes when the ball is kicked into the trough, you got the right jumper location.
If you're not into the trial and error method, here are a couple of tables that will let you map it out.
WPC95
JMP1 SOL1 J107/108/109 GEN PURPOSE
JMP2 SOL2 J116/117/118 HIGH POWER
JMP3 SOL3 J111/112/--- GEN PURPOSE
JMP4 SOL4 J113/114/115 LOW POWER
WPC89
JMP1 SOL1 J122/123/124 GEN PURPOSE
JMP2 SOL2 J125/126/--- GEN PURPOSE
JMP3 SOL3 J127/128/129 LOW POWER
JMP4 SOL4 J130/131/132 HIGH POWER
So, TOM for example, you look at the manual, and it says the ball trough drive is on J130, which you can use the WPC89 table above to map to JMP4.

Thanks Herg for the help . I'll will play around with the settings some more
