Although it is apparently possible to run a machine with the drive in this mode, that isn't how emc2 needs to do it. I don't know if the tuning application exercises the step and direction lines that emc2 needs. - Steve > > Thanks > */Ray Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/* wrote: > > > Hi Richard > > The tuning required by the 2020 is a real pain but for now there is no > other way to handle it.
