Thank you professor Justin for the kind help!
I am wondering if you can provide me some links about hyperpolarization protection since I want to know where the parameters in "POL2" come from. Maybe I missed something, but I did not find corresponding parameters in the SWM4-NDP reference.
Best wishes,Xiaohui
