Its a pretty slow wave, would seriously shake the needle of an analog 
moving coil meter.  Its as if its stuck in some mode from 4 to 7, which 
is a rate scaled in the op-freq of the vfd. 1-3 are analog versions of 
the a list of output current, bus voltage and output voltage.  And its 
set for 0.

The text says:
0:~10V analog output, corresponding to output frequency. 0~10V 
corresponds to 0~Maximum operating frequency.
1: 0~10V representing output current
2: 0~10V representing bus voltage 0~1000 volts
3: 0~10V representing AV output voltage
4~7: Pulse Output, scaled 1,2,3,6 pulses per op freq /hz, with a 50% 
pulse duty.

One could filter (long sigh) it I suppose, but to get a steady reading 
would certainly impact its response time. And that would be no more 
informative that just feeding the tach from the command which is what I 
am doing now. Both of these also ignore "slip angles" which the vfd can 
compensate for.

But, I have a job for it, and it will run the way it is. I bought a box 
to put the BS-1 servo psu and driver into and its not as roomy inside as 
advertised so I will need to make new end caps and extension side walls 
to make it at least 1/2" taller, maybe even 3/4". Should be fun, not. 
Grrrr.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
