i was reading the step/servo thread
... this is related but OT

clear me up on in this...
about very slow motion with steppers and servos

assuming the minimum position change is .001mm
( commanded step or feedback unit
   so:  a single step moves .001"
    and any feedback has .001 resolution )

when the system gets a command to move another .001mm,
what happens when the velocity requested is .001mm per second?

in a stepper system, does it go clunk and wait 999millisecss?
(or wait 999 then go clunk, or at 500mSec etc.)?

in a servo system does it crawl towards the destination over the whole 
second?

do we see important differences if the velocity is reduced by say 10?
or increased by 10?
  ( is the motion jerky?
  and
  does motion stay jerky till velocity and the machine frame dampen it)

i think any sudden jerks are bad for machining and process control.

any of the above?

thx
