EAF settings to speed up process?

I have a FF80/EAF/AM5/2600MC-Duo/ASIAIR+ setup that I like, but the autofocus routine is often slow. I'm hoping there are settings I can change to speed up this process. The starting focus is usually pretty close already and only needs a couple hundred movement-units of defocus to start the curve. The problem is, it defocuses many times that and takes many steps to get back to focus, as seen in this horrible cellphone photo of the ipad screen.

Anything I can change so it doesn't defocus so much?

Can you tell us which Telescope you are using and make ascreenshot of your Autofocus settings?

I will get the settings from ASIAIR. The scope is the ZWO FF80.

Thank you for your feedback, for get a accurate focus, basic test and calcualte is needed.
From your V curve the first position should around 6348, and you also can increase the AF steps to get less movement.

I did not have the same problem last night. The entire width of the curve was just 320 units, compared to over a thousand from the original issue. The only thing I can think of that is different is last night was without the FE80 focal reducer, where the previous issue was with the reducer installed. I may not have adjusted the focal length in ASIAIR when I had the reducer installed, but don't know if that makes any difference. Overall, I'm very happy with my setup.
