Scaling of the absolute value of the driving velocity with peak current |J|_max, peak reconnection rate and sheet dimensions in the x, y and z directions (L_x,L_y and L_z) taken as the full width at half maximum. Here runs for one pulse are in green and with two are in black (t_lag = 0), red t_lag = 0.9 and blue t_lag = 1.8 when τ = 1.8, v₀ = 0.01 and η = 5 × 10^-4.
