So the actual tuning software does not provide this parameter for high speed adjustment. It has both low speed and high speed settings. However there is a parameter set which can be downloaded and saved and the high speed Ki is in there. I will alter the saved file and re-upload it to try differe

Thanks to everybody for the information. If anything it helped me understand the nature of servos better as I've been sitting here tweaking the machine. I tried 2 experiments to see if I could get better results. #1. Give it 80Volts: I hooked the driver up to an 80v PS. The drive clearly had more
