    Great Build. Did you ever tally it up piece by piece to see what it cost? Just seeing all the parts that went into it and how you built it from several vendors is impressive.

    Glad to see this was simple for you. Looks fine; I do notice one small thing:

    [ CW_RampU ] ( PF4 )
    Type: Ramp
    Ramp Time: 45
    Start Intensity: 20
    End Intensity: 55

    [ CW_RampD ] ( PF5 )
    Type: Ramp
    Ramp Time: 45
    Start Intensity: 55
    End Intensity: 20

    [ CW_Day ] ( PF6 )
    Type: Ramp
    Ramp Time: 1
    Start Intensity: 60
    End Intensity: 60

    The end points of your ramp have a 5% jump to your day profile. Doubt you'd visually notice that, and I'm not sure if it was intentional or not. Not really an issue even if it wasn't.
