You don't need that.  Joints are already acceleration 
limited, the parameters are in the .ini file for each 
axis/joint.
You should run Halscope, and look at pid.x.error and also 
the falling edge of axis.0.amp-enable-out
(they may have changed this to joint.0.amp-enable-out for 
2.8) to trigger the scope when it gets the following error.
You could also look at the velocity for that axis from the 
encoder function.  That might tell you what the cause of the 
error is.

Yes, the axis/joint limits are applied to any jog command, 
so you can overrun the velocity of the joint, and then be 
surprised when the axis keeps on moving after you stop 
jogging.  As far as I know, both velocity and acceleration 
limits apply to jog moves as well as MDI/program moves.
