Today I was monkeying around with the resonance dampers on the x and y axis and eventually I asked it to do a home and the y axis froze. I immediately assumed it had something to do with damper adjustment or maybe some file changes I had made trying to fine tune things. But after resetting every thing to what was working, I found that y axis still wanted to freeze on rapid moves and still would freeze even though I slowed it down by a factor of two. X axis also exhibited the same behavior although not to the extreme degree as y axis. I also noticed a peculiar sound would gradually begin to appear when rapid moving and I could feel a vibration in the whole machine(Bridgeport) when it was about to freeze. Then I noticed in the axis display that the tool symbol was not moving steadily and had a "shakiness" to it. After rebooting, all these symptoms disappeared and the system was back to its old self again.
I don't know what brought this misbehavior on, but was wondering if halscope would be able to show what was happening particularly if there were excessive jitter in the signal.
