    Tuning viper drives Ver 2.8H

    I am in process of tuning viper drives on a YCM 30. I am trying to make sense of the values viewed in m.
    m 0000 at power up
    m FEOF at 50 thousand inches
    m FDAA at 60 thousand inches (moved handwheel an additional 0.010)
    This control was a bandit 3 with 500 line encoders and a 5 pitch screw

    Those numbers are in HEX. Looks like your encoder is working ok.

    Go one full turn in the positive direction, and use the Windows calculator to translate the HEX to decimal. It will be 4X encoder lines.

    Thank you for the tip on hex conversion. I have X and Y running at 198 inches per minute and 85 inches per minute on Z. Can you tune the Vipers and run Mach with both programs open? I mean change a viper value, Run mach to check result, then once again adjust Viper.
