Do you have steppers with software step generation? If so, calculate base_period according to your measured max latency, your step driver timings and required step rate in Hz. The same goes for software PWM generation or encoder counting, if you're doing those things. Otherwise, do not use a base period (specify BASE_PERIOD = 0).
Info on calculating BASE_PERIOD http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?TweakingSoftwareStepGeneration For servo period, choose 1ms unless you have identified special needs that call for a different period. Almost all users of emc use a 1ms servo period (SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000).
