In the Secure options dialog, the second to last item "End After Clean Passes #" uses the term "clean passes".
In the help file, the meaning of the word "clean" in this context is never explained...:
So, it is not clear to me what the definition of a "clean pass" is when c2 is enabled.
Is it:
a. - an ultra pass that reported zero c2 error flags (c2 error flags were requested), regardless of data?
b. - an ultra pass where the data matched, exactly, a previous pass (c2 error flags were requested, but the flags ignored in comparing ultra passes...perhaps flags kept track of for rerips)?
c. - an ultra pass where the data matched, exactly, a previous pass (c2 error flags not requested at all)?
d. - something else?
I ask because I never seem to go above the minimum ultra passes, no matter how damaged the disc is, even when a lot of c2 errors are flagged.
e.g., Min=3, Max=6, EndAfter=3, I never see more than three ultra passes on my super damaged test disc, even if the track has 80 frames to rerip.
Wait, I take that back partly. I only see more than 3 passes very rarely. When the final number of frame rerips is in the several hundreds, I start seeing 4 to 6 ultra passes happen.
"a" seems unlikely, because I'm seeing dozens/scores/hundreds of c2-flagged rerips on most tracks of this disc.

Code:
Ultra Secure (dBpoweramp Reference required) extends the normal 2 pass reading to a programmable number of passes, this can help detect errors or verify the single c2 pass is error free. Depending upon your drive:
* Drive Supports c2 error pointers well enable Ultra Secure with Minimum 1, Maximum 6 and End after 1.
* Drive Supports c2, but badly enable Ultra Secure with Minimum 2, Maximum 6 and End after 2.
* Drive does not support c2 enable Ultra Secure with Minimum 3, Maximum 6 and End after 2.
