Re: [Emc-users] xml for G540 and pncconf with 5i25?

Chris M The latest G540 configuration uses a one output stepgen for the chargepump due to that rather annoying G540 feature that the chargepump needs a 10 KHz frequency which would force the use of a base thread if the bit was just GPIO (dont know why 500 Hz would not have done, oh well) The chargepump stepgens are at the end numerically so dont interfere with the G540s stepgen assignment (they are stepgen 8 (P3) and 9 (P2)) There are a couple ways to get a square wave out of the stepgen.
