I am using version emc 2.1.7 and tried to use the comp file feature and 
got the following results.
When I homed the axis using that file the axis began moving in the 
direction of the limit switch but before it got there it reversed at 
full speed and was heading toward the opposit limit.  When I hit E stop 
and it didn't stop.   I had to hit the main power switch to the stepper 
driver to get it stopped.
Upon  reapplying power to the driver the motor on that axis didn't move 
but made a strange high pitch "singing" sound. After closing emc2 and 
then reopening it,the motor sounded normal (a5khz hum is normal when it 
is motionless), I was able to jog the axisl, however when I tried to 
home the axis it repeated the runaway.

Resetting the ini file back to using backlash comp the system performed 
flawlessly.
Does anyone know what is going on?
I have included the pertainent section of my ini file and the comp file 
below:
