Thanks for everyone's responses. I get a digest version of the mail list responses, so I'll go ahead and reply to everybody's at one time.
>> Robert: I haven't spent much time messing with halscope, but I'm not sure how to best use it here given the intermittent nature of the problem. Normally everything works fine, so I guess I'm not sure how I'd set a trigger in halscope to capture when EMC actually messes up. I guess maybe I could create a program that sends a whole bunch of very small movements in a single direction for a single axis, and maybe trigger if a movement ever occurs in the opposite direction? I am using stepper motors. >> Terry: Apologies, I meant 40 inches per minute. :-) In other words, I am trying to get my machine to work reliably when a G-code program uses F40 to set the feedrate. >> Gene: I have gone away from using stepconfig for the fine tuning of this machine since it always "undoes" some settings from the ini file that I need. I have been tweaking the ini values directly. Do you know what ini file settings might account for the functionality you describe? Looking in the manual, it seems like BASE_PERIOD might apply, or maybe you are suggesting that I decrease my MAX_VELOCITY (or MAX_ACCELERATION) for those axes? I don't see value that specifically affects the direction valid time, but I definitely could be missing something...
