Yes, For example if a velocity mode servo drive moves an axis at 3.33 IPS at full scale 10V input, I would chose 3.33 as the output scale. This also has the advantage for velocity mode drives of being able to preset velocity feed forward (FF1) to 1 when starting tuning > > Have I got that right? > > Chris M > Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics (\__/) (='.'=) This is Bunny.
