HELP!  The engineer I work with has some issues I am hoping someone can
       enlighten me on.

Here is two calculations from Automata:

Automata's Lateral Crosstalk Modeling

You submitted the following name/value pairs:

     Er = 4.3 
     h1 = 8 
     h2 = 8 
     t = 1 Oz 
     w = 6 
     sx = 6 
     length = 2 
**** risetime = 1.9 **** 

The crosstalk = 24.9 mv/v

     h2 = 8 
     t = 1 Oz 
     w = 6 
     sx = 6 
     length = 2 
**** risetime = 3.1 ****

The crosstalk = 31.9 mv/v

Does this seem correct to you?

Thanks in advance for any help.
