What do things such as those listed below mean?

1. Cycle,
2. Cycle Delay Time
3. Discharge Current (I do know what this means but don't know the preffered setting)
4. Peak Sensitivity
5. Charge Current ( again, I know what this means but don't know the preffered setting)
6. Cycling (periodic?)
7. Charge settings - Normal, Mega Flex, step & clock
8. Repeak Delay

Batteries are Orion Rocket Packs 5100 NiMH

Team Orion Advantage Advance charger

Thanks in advance

Cycling will discharge, charge and discharge your cells, you then balance on a balancer, this helps condition the cells and keeps them charging as balanced as possible.

Repeak delay would wait for say 5 mins once your finished charging and then tops them up again, you wont want this on.

Peak sensitivity is more than likely going to be a manual setting for what voltage the charging stops at, although i don't know as ive never used this charger.

The rest are charger specific, although on other chargers you always use normal charging for NIMH's as the other types are usually for nicads.
