Guidelines for reducing MI and TI
ThefollowingaregeneralguidelinesforreducingMIorTI.Ifmultipleparametersaregiven,
thebestresultsmaybeachievedbyminimizingtheseparameterssimultaneously.Insome
modes,changingtheseparametersdoesnotaffectMIorTI.Changestootherparametersmay
alsoresultinMIandTIreductions.Please
