Question FASSTest-12CH vs FASSTest-14CH modes

I ran into something odd today, and it has something to do with FASSTest-12CH mode vs FASSTest-14CH modes. I attempted to plug in an FMS analog reverse servo while in FASSTest-12CH mode on an R7008SB receiver, and the servo vibrates heavily and starts to warm up. The equivalent non-reverse servo does not. When I use an R6106HFC receiver, or the R7008SB in FASSTest-14CH mode, no vibration, and the servo works perfectly.

So, what is the difference between FASSTest-12CH and FASSTest-14CH modes?

12-channel FASSTest mode is a high-speed mode that limits telemetry so that you can have the highest response possible from the system. This gives you the lowest time between a control input on the transmitter and servo movement (this is known as "latency"). Only digital servos will work properly when the transmitter and receiver are in 12-channel FASSTest mode. 14-channel FASSTest mode basically gives the regular response that you'd have with non-telemetry receivers.
