John, You might not be the right person to answer this, but is it possible to create a Auto-Calibrate mode where the system would run an axis in a series of short moves in both directions where the move time is monitored and the motion variables adjusted automatically to try and get the most optimum settings. Have a list of variables to adjust and a flag for the user to indicate auto adjust. Are there some initial values that would most if not all the time, and let the system optimize the settings. I don't have a servo based system but it would make initial setup a lot easier if the system could do it's own tuning. This same thing could be applied to stepper systems too. The whole tuning process, setting acceleration and such seem to be one of the critical areas that people have the most trouble with.
