Actually, cycling the measure is a bit of a side-effect of die adjustment.

The die has to be adjusted so that the stem that accomplishes the flare goes all the way to "full stop", otherwise the die won't flare at all, you'll just be pushing the stem up. A side-effect of that would be that the auto-disk measure would not fully actuate.

The "zero flare" position would be where the stem is raised to the "stop" point and the press ram is fully raised. Adjusted like this, the die would fully actuate the auto-disk but produce no (or almost no) flare. Any further adjustment of the die downward would produce more and more flare but would do nothing further to actuate the measure. Any adjustment of the die upward would actuate the auto-disk less and less and produce no flare.
