For those of you interested in the status of the over-voltage relay for
 the CJ6A generator, here is what Bob says:

 BTW, if you are wondering why there is software involved, it turned out
 to be simpler to implement the OV relay module using a microcomputer
 because of the built-in sequencing, testing, and warning light
 functions. It just required fewer parts this way and it allowed the unit
 to be "tweaked" without having to change the parts on the board.
