I have ~28 VDC supplied to 7i39s - that would account for supply voltage. Motors are rated for 36 VDC. Since motors are rated at 4000 RPM, I cannot reach them by default. But I still should hit 75% of that, which is 3000 RPM, because I have supplied 75% of the rated voltage, right? But now I have reached only half of that. Ok, is there a place I can read more about the max_output? I do not fully understand, what should I do with output_ scale and max_output parameters in INI file.
