In regards to the amplifier calibration, you are right, this is mostly useful only when you are sending a pulse train and its so the amplifier can calibrate itself to try and eliminate the response times. On the other hand, I don't see how it can hurt to offload that from linuxcnc's duties if you already have the hardware or the means to aquire it. this can free time and resources, for instance, for a proper look-ahead functionality.

I've googled for the NIST EMC docs before and found them... never tried to find the original code but I assume it is out there somewhere.

Andy,
I've been looking through the documentation and I am starting to understand what you are saying about using velocity controls and encoders to linuxcnc. I posted a thread about this here:

http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/component/kunena/?func=view&catid=38&id=23170

I'm hoping maybe you can take a look at it and correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Frank
