Pulse rate at max speed 3200Hz
Axis scale 200x16x(1.0/1.0)x0.500=1600 Steps/in
But on the A axis I have
Time to accelerate to max speed 0.1000s
Distance to accelerate to max speed 0.1000deg
Pulse rate at max speed 12800Hz
Axis scale 200x16x(1.0/1.0)x2000=6400 Steps/deg
I know the A axis values are wrong but never thought that the values at the bottom of this page were configurable. Should I change to match the Y axis?
So what is an acceptable scaling number and how do you figure this out?
I did run the latency test and the number in the stepconfig “Base Period max Jitter” is 15000ns.
I run the Linuxcnc on my VMware virtual PC, does this make any difference?
As I mentioned I did copy the Linuxcnc manual and reading now to see what’s involved but not I will print now the pages just for the Stepper Configuration Wizard and hopefully afterwards I will be like a “pro”
Thank you both for your time
