    MACH3 Maximum Step Pulse rate

    I have spent some time reading and searching so as not to waste anyones time but I cannot find this spec? I thought I had the Mach3 user documents on my computor but I guess not.

    I am trying to calculate what encoder I can use and need this value.

    Thank You
    Ken

    I dont know if this is what you meant, but from my understanding this is the speed that Mach3 can drive each individual axis at this speed ( Depending on your computers specs)
    I dont know it this translates into pulses per second.( I presume so)

    Ken, if you want (or need) to run at 45Khz, you should have at least a 2Ghz PC. Art recommends using the 25Khz whenever possible, and not using the faster speeds (35,45) uness you need to.
