The jumper’s pins need to be horizontal and not vertical. The jumper has two parts, each with two pins. Make sure both pieces are moved closer to the right “B” side. Example image above shows an Ultra LX reader’s jumper moved to the “B”  side.

Creating  a Pulse profile

After, click on "Advance Options" enter the following pulse   setting.
