It can so do analog, like the waveforms around a PID.  So how does it 
determine which is which?

And after reglueing one of the ATS-667's its dead. I had spares in a bag 
on top of the g0704 furniture but can't find them this morning. Going 
back out to get up on a ladder and take a better look, got Dee some 
lunch and the Orkin guy was here checking baits for additional 
distraction.

I need someone to cross check my math for quadrature spacings, the OD of 
the bull gear is exactly 6" and it has 60 teeth. But then it gets into 
trig because of the curvature and I don't get the correct answers. 

??

Looking at the duty cycles of the output, it appears the bent spindle 
error is causing a couple thou of runout of the bull gear. Figuratively 
speaking I paid 2G's for a $200 lathe. A heavy chuck was mounted when it 
fell over, smashed the compound and striped threads out of the crossfeed 
nut. Way before it followed me home where I found 80 thou of backlash in 
the crossfeed because some one in the distant past had repaired it with 
a helicoil kit.  The crossfeed screw was in good shape but a good hammer 
would have sheared what was left of the helicoil, it was a very good 
knife. All rebuilt with a smallish ball screw anchored by putting 100% 
bearings in the front crank axle. X backlash is around a thou now.

Thanks Jon.
