What stepgen number are you using?
I may be jumping to conclusions but i seem to see a difference depending on which stepgen i use. stepgen 0 seems to only respond when the numbers go really low and the max velocity will affect acceleration.
I used stepgen 3 also and it seemed to respond properly.
I'd need to test more to confirm/draw conclusions.
Also, can you describe the problem with halscope?
it's a 1000 times better then looking at halmeter.
for reference I'm using a 7i92 and 7i76 card probably standard 7i76 firmware.

Hi Chris,
.
.
... and from combox at the bottom I can't select anything (combobox is empty). So I don't know, how to use that window.
I use the 5i24 with the firmware I sent you the mesa output from.
.
I have a firmware with 10 stepgen modules and I plan to use all of them. That means, any number from 0 to 9What stepgen number are you using?
.
Hm, I expected to see anything right of the box, but it shows nothing.Also, can you describe the problem with halscope?

In my test I'm seeing different behavior with different numbered stepgens.
for me - stepgen 0 showed bad behavior stepgen 3 did not. -suggesting that possibly the firmware/driver for stepgens is buggy.
It would be helpful if you could confirm this on your side.
halscope:
There is no combo box in at the bottom of halscope - there is a button for selecting pins.
but you may need to select a channel number (button) first.

I meant what stepgen were you using when you saw the failure to increase velocity.What stepgen number are you using?

So 7 showed the weird acceleration.

on the current slot used I have stepgen 6-9 and I used 7 for rotary axis and 8 for linear axis.I meant what stepgen were you using when you saw the failure to increase velocity.

I'll check that later. Its to early to do hardware testsThere is no combo box in at the bottom of halscope - there is a button for selecting pins.

I was able to bring halscope into play 
This is what I was talking about:
.
This speedcurve is right for stepper tuning. But it would be helpful, to get some recomendations about what to do or a rating about current settings.
This way I see the curve, I know, it should be different, but I don't know what to do or what parameters to change ...

Whats your servo period set to?
