Difference between short and long pulse mode

Can some one tell me the difference between the short and long pulse mode and which is better.

short pulse mode pulses from .2 to ~2 seconds, long pulse mode pulses from 10 seconds to one minute. The end result is they achieve two different things, the short pulse is for waves, the long pulse is for gyre's.

If the long pulse is for a gyre, could you please do a software update to allow for a 10 minute pulse? This would allow me to use the pumps without a separate timer, which would allow me to use the battery backup that I purchased.
Seems simple, but I could be wrong. (It would also convince me to add 2 more pumps to my 250gal tank).

It's not something we can just do on the fly but we can consider it for the future.
