When I open the “Step Timing Calculator”, I can high light the numbers in the yellow fields but I can't get them to change. (I've never used a spread sheet before).
How do I get this program to cooperate?
Thanks

Once again “illustration is the best instruction”.
![;) ;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png)
I am able to get the field to “high light”, I can even select the number in the field and give it a black background, but the numbers will not change.
Is there some kind of permission I need to adjust in the spread sheet program?
Is there a better way to address "Tuning Steppers"? (I have stalling problems on Y & Z).

When the yellow cell is highlighted the value appears in the long edit box above the spread sheet.
Edit that and it will be reflected in the cell
I see, the document is set to read only.
Not the one I downloaded

All I need now is for Anaheim Automation to give me values.
They don't seem to be able to find ANY documents for the driver!
I haven't found much when searching via Google either.
Her is a long shot, dose anyone have paper work for a Anaheim Automation DPF 65003 by any chance?

This is the spec sheet for the 72003
www.anaheimautomation.com/manuals/steppe...%20Users%20Guide.pdf
The only tuning data is that the clock inputs are 15 microseconds minimum

Yes, you did share timing with me. I think it was 10,000 if my memory is correct.
I believe that is what was used.
I have been reluctant to bother you folks here on the forum with the situation I'm dealing with.
I thought I should explore the instructions in the manual first.
This subject is surprisingly deep (so many things to consider), if I was going to need to have this knowledge on a daily basis I could see pursuing all of this, but as I only need it to get things going for now I submit it seems more prudent to just share my issue and revisit the details later.
When I run the “testngc” file under “Step Timing” in the “Stepper Diagnostics” chapter of the manual,
X axis has no problems, Y axis struggles (I’m losing steps), and Z axis just stalls and locks up.
This test seems pretty aggressive, G0 results in a rather high lineal feed rate. (Stupid high)! Can I change this?
When I run the “axisngc” program (dry, no material/cutting), it seems able, the Y axis growls however on arcs.
It's clear I have a configuration problem here.
If I am unable to get the values needed to calculate an accurate:
“BASE_PERIOD”
“MAX_VELOSITY”
“INPUT_SCALE”
What should I do?
The manual says “No Guessing”, I may not have a choice.
