Gentlemen,
I saw some behavior I don't like today.
When I move the table using the handwheel and have the feedrate
override set low I see a rubber band effect. The table runs on after I
stop turning the handwheel. I have the jog-vel-mode set true for each
axis. The axis moves in the manner

In case you are looking for something to play around with here is a 4 axis
shape I was messing around with at one time.
It does an ellipse in the XY plane and kind of an H shape in the UV.

G01 X0. Y3. U0. V1.

Hello Gene
The rapid velocity set for any axis in the ini file is the max velocity
that a properly executed motion command can achieve. Feedrate override
greater than 100% does not increase that speed. Commanding rapid for
more than one axis at a time will result in greater speed along the

Binding EMC2 to a *real* language seems an *excellent* idea to me.
RS274 is an antique language. Adding O words, named parameters and special
comments, although very useful when nothing else is available, is only a
kludge...
The only advantage of RS274 is that it is normalised, and that man
Thanks to all who replied for the very good information.

needed. using encoder-PID-freqgen creates basically a "servo system with
steppers". Freqgen has parameters for capping velocity and acceleration.
