From what it seems your saying is : The adjustments are used primarily in the process of equalizing the various RDSS screens.
However, the equalization screen by itself should not be used.
I'm assuming that the equalization factor is controlled by however the configuration setting is set up by the individual user.
If I so desired, I could completely eliminate the equalization factor in the configuration depending on how I set it up?
If that be the case, what would be the recommended configuration to do so? Would I have the option to completely eliminate the equalization screen?

Bill, the adjustment of running times (and sometimes beaten lengths in the case of projecting/extracting to/from sprints/routes) by variants and distance and surface equalizations is shown on the
Adjusted screen - analogous to the way Setup Times and other adjustments are provided in Synergism itself (the resulting adjusted times are simply not shown - only the velocities, compound factors and rankings).
Whether you use the adjusted running times for anything in your own handicapping is up to you - Doc Sartin made extensive use of these adjusted times, including them for reference in many race workups. Except for when her (or contributing members) showed original DRF or Bris PPs, he was often uninterested in what the raw data looked like. The key to decision making lay almost entirely in the adjusted, compounded readouts.
As I wrote earlier - I never look at the running times in that Adjusted Screen. I consult the raw Original times and the various markups to help me analyse Form, then ALL the other velocity and compound screens.
Adjustments are governed by settings on the Configuration screen. You can tinker with them to your hearts content, switching off the Inter-track variant, the Daily Track Variant, the range of DTV included, etc.
Note: you cannot disable the distance or surface equalization adjustments.
However: I do not recommend making any changes to those settings at all.
If you want to use pure Synergism adjustments (Setup Times), then simply export Original (unadjusted) data from RDSS.
