Greeting Peter;

I hope this finds you well.

I am installing a new A axis on my go704, and am trying to exercise it before moving 99% of the actual driver code code in from another machine with identical hdwe for its B axis. I have loaded a siggen to use its triangular drive as input to the joint.03.position-cmd, with the amplitude set to 2.5 and this for the rest of the dummy code:

setp    hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.enable true #turn it on
setp    siggen.0.frequency 10
setp    siggen.0.amplitude 2.5
setp    hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.steplen 4000
setp    hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.stepspace 10000
setp    hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.dirhold 6000
setp    hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.dirsetup 6000
net mtr-test



<= siggen.0.triangle => hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.03.position-cmd

So tb2-20 to 23 on the 7i76D is supposed to be stepgen.03.outputs.

man siggen says it should be symmetrical if no offset is set. But dir on neither pin is anywhere near 50/50, closer to 5/95, and faster than the above 10 a sec by quite a bit, and the step terminals are a solid 5 volt or zero volts, no activity at all.

This on a 4 channel storage scope with a 350MHz bandwidth. Siglent's best. That puppy doesn't miss a thing.

Did I miss a setp above?

Thanks Peter.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
