Im gonna bring it up and see what happens.
Earlier I had it set way up there and it would move that table around WAY fast 
I just want to set it where it wont miss any steps EVER.

I need to figure out now how to set up the table parameters.
Heres a unrelated question.
I have Mach set up in Inches.
Do I set up the table size in inches ??
Also are my DRO's dislaying inches ?
I can move Y 2 inches and thats not anywhere near what the Y dro says

I use a triplight line conditioner as well as a UPS 
Triplight on the servo/Stepper drives and a ups on the PC.

Think I sorted it out.
Bumped the IPM down to 120 and raised the cpr to 2000.
Smooth as Butta so far.

Hey guys.
Ive tried researching this but came up empty.
I have Pittman 14207S007 Servo's running on Gecko 320's for my X and Y axis.
Im trying to tune the motors but dont know what the heck Im doing 
I cant find out from my vendor what cpr I should set up .
It seem's they run smooth when jogging but sometimes stop for a sec and the DRO keeps going
Could that be a Accel/ Velocity issue as well as the CRP setup ?
Running the famous road runner it seems fine (Moving Slow)
Its the fast jog where I have the issue.
Thanks.

Kewl
Thanx .
The GCode I ran was the "Test Gcode" that loaded with Mach3.
Maybe it was set slow .
I'll check it out tomm. when I get off work.
Just tickled to pulse the servo's finally 

Kewlness .

The rapid Jog was enough to make me Grin Ear to Ear.
Those Pittman's were humming right along !

I got X & Y hooked up and just couldnt wait to make the servo's move .. hehe
They Move !!!   Woot.

But when I run a test GCode they move Sooooooo  Sloooow ..
I tweaked a few things in motor tuning but it didnt make a Diff ?
What am I missing here ?
