• RRV (Random Repeat Variance): adds a random millisecond variance to the Repeat Delay, the number is the MAX variance offset so if you want the variance to randomly fluctuate between 10 seconds, you have to set it to 10000 and each cylce a random number from 0-10000 is picked as an offset for the Repeat Delay
