Hallo,

stepconf does create a entry MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY in [TRAJ], this should not be there!

It causes problems with gmoccapy glade file and according to the documents:

TRAJ Section

There shouldn't exist this entry, but a MAX_Velocity instead.

Yes looks like they should be in the [DISPLAY] section instead.

In a little close inspection it seems some of our sample configs are mixed up too.
I'm working on a patch for stepconf in master.

Unfortunately is is hard to be sure that no config or file or component anywhere isn't relying on any particular INI entry.
Though searching the entire code tree for [TRAJ] and MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY in all the possible formats (such as the Python INI file format would be a good start to seeing if it is as truly redundant as we think.

Alternatively one could just take the view that if it isn't in the docs then it can be freely changed

putting our docs and samples in line and correct seems a good thing to do.

We need to audit the docs and the configs - I made a bug report.

For instance axis.ini sets MAX_VELOCITY in the [AXIS] sections to 5 but sets MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY in the [DISPLAY] section to 1.2
which limits the axes to 1.2 IPS. The docs imply the setting is for max jog velocity which is apparently wrong.

It's been mixed up for a long time and should be fixed.
Breaking things on a major update is acceptable - but I bet it wouldn't break much at all.
