    Help with servo tuning - Maxsine EP1 - typical error

    Just finished updating my Bridgeport Series 2 from steppers to servos.

    Using Mach3, Hicon board and Maxsine EP1 drives which accept step & direction. The machine basically runs great. 200 IPM rapids on X & Y, 120 on Z

    The Hicon plug in has a utility that shows the following error on the drives and is used to test the acell + speed change the maximum allowed error but does not actually tune the drive.

    Servos are completely new to me so I do not know what to expect but the following errors seem pretty large. X & Y are about 8400 counts which = .084. Is this too much? I have attached a spreadsheet with my settings & calcs.

    Does anyone have any experience they would like to share tuning these? There is a mini-USB port on the drives, I was hoping there is some software to do this. I have googled till I'm blue and cannot find any.

    Thanks
