Yes I am aware of that but my preference was to stick with DMP
format. Maybe I should reconsider.

Does one lose any granularity of information in using another format?

By the way, I didn't claim to be an expert on any or all aspects of DMP. I said
that I know the panel better than the senior techs at the current
company. They just know what they are taught and what they use
day-to-day and there is frequent turnover. It's not rocket science and
the techs are not engineers by any stretch of the imagination.
