Tom, I was able to finally get this "Kmotion - Axis Encoder Manual Test of Position via Manual Movement" on all the axis today. I know you preferred to do one axis; however, I just had to see if all of them are working.
Moving forward with the following tests I will stick to one axis until we pin it down correctly. The X-Axis is the we can take to completion.
My results are, what I think is good, only on the X-axis and the Z-axis since the start position, one revolution at the motor (produced a .100" movement on the axis), and then returned to the start position produced encoder returning to almost the same axis position.
However, the Y-axis did not respond like the other two axis. It seem to keep adding to the encoder position value as I tested.
My test on each axis was made by first setting up a Dial Indicator (.001" resolution) on the moving table/spindle accordingly.
Then moving the motor axis one-revolution (360°), which produced a .100" movement on the moving component, which was only 180° (half-turn for each full turn of the motor axis) on the drive-axis of the component.
I recorded the Kmotion Axis Encoder Position before movement, after the one-revolution movement, and back to the start position movement. The Dial Indicator was used as my meter for movement each way.
I did this about five times for each axis ... then ended back on the start-position.

Is this what we expect to see?
