That is half of what I was envisioning when I wrote the above. Another part after a characterization of a basic setup would be to compare that with data from running a real part -- and flagging which parts seem to cause the most feedback (vibration ,initera, etc.). Just brainstorming here, but could it be used as a tool to help tune a machine?
