The timedifference for all cycles is not same and also when i use transaction command am not able to name it as cycle 1,2.

Would it be more accurate to say that a cycle begins with SPWord = 0 and LineNumber = 1, and ends with SPWord = 8?

Also, can cycles overlap or will it always be

SPword=0 LineNumber=1
...
SPWord=8
SPWord=0
