Parameters for decorative Rhodium plating with pulse rectifier

What are the best ON-OFF settings for a decorative plating bath using a pulse rectifier?

The best setting is "ON", which is not intended to be a facetitious answer, Julian. Pulse plating is not wholly without merit, but it is an additional variable to tame in an operation which is usually barely under rough control at best. No cycle but "ON" should be used until the plating is perfect and free of defects and you are attemting to control specific deposit properties like hardness or stress. Just an opinion.
