Don, good thing you kept the .ini and .hal files - reminds me to make backups once again cause I think I changed the files since the last backup ... I copied my working config for the mill to 3 different machines (one active, one backup and one to play with at home) by comparing a setup generated by stepconf and changing the proper timing and addresses. Still, remember that the jitter, although it is an exact number, depends on what you do with the machine at a given moment and therefor is just a guidance number. At least this is how I see it: start the test, do all kinds of weird stuff that keeps the computer busy and get the worst number. In that case you will most likely never hit the edge in real life. But then, when the mill is running I never do all this weird stuff. This is a production machine and when it runs I do not touch mouse or keyboard.
A 10% difference in jitter value is not that big. I've seen differences like this on different occasions that I ran the jitter test (on the same machine with the same software - no updates in between). This does bring up a new question: Can (will) the jitter test report different values after a software update? Since I configured my machine more than one year ago there have been some updates (I'd even say my EMC2 PC is more up to date than any of my windows machines).
