The first night I used my new CEM70G I took a deep breath and went to bed as soon as it was up and running properly. Six hours of data between two targets and a flawless flip in the middle of both of them. Once you have your cable management sorted out and so long as you have your plate soling working well, unattended flips become a completely unremarkable part of the night. I used to sit up and watch it flip early on!
