The X-axis is the controlled variable, the Y-axis the dependent.

However, (from my understanding which is sketchy), the software controlling the 
input has a feedback loop and attempts to adjust the rate and spacing of the 
input to provide good data around the fine detail of the slope; so the input 
isn't necessarily exactly linear, though if you inspect the output closely, it 
seems to have a linear step size.

Indeed. I suspect that the discontinuities I'm seeing are a result of the 
control software back-stepping around certain positions to correct for detected 
'external influences' (such as eddy current build-up or induction lag). It is 
this hypothesis that I am going to try to get conformed by the equipment 
manufacturer.

That pdf does not seem to be available to me? (The requested URL was not found

'scuse my ignorance of these things; but it the "CWA scilab module" available 
as an ATOM? (If so, in which category?)

Or should I be looking somewhere else?
