After a 'few' more hours, we have got quite a bit further with getting the
system running.
Basically we scrapped PNCConfig and started editing the files directly.
We set all the velocities, accelerations, following errors to huge values so
the system would run and then we started tweaking the valu

I'll try this. Thanks

Was this with a bare motor, or with the motor mounted in the machine?

If you can't fix it, you don't own it.

This is contradictory. Current mode does not use tach feedback. if you
have the tach connected, it is in velocity mode. Of course, you ha

You need to change servo period length, it is specified in INI file:
