Dwell overlap?

I am just curious if dwell is controlled as if its a distributor base or if dwell overlap is allowed on the individual circuits? I am just curious, my application would be fine either way :)

Overlapping dwell is used, but only when ignition output selection allows it (no collisions allowed) and desired dwell requires it, example

  • simple trigger no cam sync, no overlap
  • multitooth wheel with or without camsync or simple trigger (with or without camsync), but only one output in use, no overlap
  • multitooth wheel with or without camsync or simple trigger + camsync, but only cyl_nr/2 output in use (and all different), overlap, but max 360_degree_time - minimum_off_time
  • multitooth wheel with camsync or simple trigger + camsync, but cyl_nr output in use (and all different), full overlap, but max 720_degree_time - minimum_off_time
Any dwell limiting either due to non allowed overlapping or minimum_off_time will be represented on dwell gauge in VemsTune for reference.
