cspat Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm using the GeoBrick LV controller. Is there a reason why the deadband size in unit of 1/16 of a count? Why not one count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtwilson Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 At that point in its calculations, PMAC is working with position in units of 1/16 of a count. We ask you to do the multiplication once, in entering the value, so that PMAC does not have to do the multiplication thousands of times every second. Also, many people find that a deadband of 1/2 count is useful to stop the dithering that can occur when stopping at a commanded fractional count value.
