Manually running tuning functions

[windell747]

Hi,

 

I've been attempting to perform open loop step and sine tests, however my IDE crashes on me. So as a secondary route I found the tuning functions in /opt/ppmac/tune. I have also written my own C program that does the data gather manually so that I can do without the IDE at the moment.

 

When I run the functions without arguments I get an explanation of what the arguments are. However, there aren't units on some of the argument explanation. For example when I run openloopsine, I get the following response

 

root@128.171.80.202:/opt/ppmac/tune# openloopsine

The number of arguments specified is incorrect.

You need 5 Arguments for this function

Motor Number

Excitation Amplitude

Frequency of the sinusoidal

Repetition number

Kill flag (0 or 1)

Please try again.

 

Question:

What are the units of excitation amplitude? I'm guessing DAC counts. Frequency of the sinusoid? I'm guessing is in Hz. Also what does setting the Kill flag to 1 do? Is there any documentation somewhere on the use of these functions?

 

thanks,

windell
