USER STORY B:

Context: User is Attempting to set Zap level for Hand Detect:
​

"Yikes ...ok, now working. I had the shock on at 100% but it's too much so I reduced it to half, but it's still shocking at 100%. Even at 5% it's very strong."

​ZAP DELAY
The P2/3 has a minimum delay of about 500ms, intended to reduce the chance you're touching the unit (so e.g. zap doesn't travel through the USB port), plus an additional random 0-1000ms delay which Maneesh suggested was helpful from a psychological point of view, so the user can't anticipate the exact moment of the zap and that increases its impact somehow. The random delay is, I believed, meant specifically for when the user directly requests it via button or app, whereas when it's triggered as part of e.g. an alarm stimulus there's no need for that so it's not used then.)
