Thanks, that is a step forward, but I still have issues with the wording on
the two parameters OUTPUT_SCALE and MAX_OUTPUT.
Peter Wallace suggested to me use the max speed of the axis, say 20 mm/s for
the first value and then 19.5 mm/s for the second value. In this way the
parameters are normalized and the PID values can be compared between systems
(changing the OUTPUT_SCALE also effects your PID parameters).

It is therefore very confusing to read the explaination after OUTPUT_OFFSET
and MAX_OUTPUT. The latter cant be  in volts as the text implies. In my case
the maximum is 19.5, which is way above the maximum volts a 7i29 can take
(10 Volts).

As PCW explained to me the reduced value of 19.5 is needed to ensure that
the PWM output does not reach a duty cycle of 1, which the 7i29 would not be
happy with. It gets a maximum of 19.5/20 = 0.975 DC, or 9.75 actual volts.

Perhaps a note about this could be added to section 14.2 of the manual.
PNCCONF could perhaps also help by setting the right value for MAX_OUTPUT to
9.75 instead of 10 when a 7i29 is selected.

I hope this helps to clear the issues.
