  11. CONCLUSIONS Ad SMALL SPOTS: The LOFT observationscouldeasily reveal the Keplerian frequency together with its firstand second harmonics when the strongest (but still veryweak) single signal is around the limits of the RXTE detectability. Ad ELONGATED SPOTS: The LOFT missioncould open a window to observetheepicyclicmotion. Ad SPOT vs. TORUS COMPARISON: We conclude that the abilityto recognize the harmonic content of the signal andfollowthe QPO evolutioncan help to distinguish between thedifferentproposedphysicalmodels.
