Surely someone else on the list will be able to answer you much more
correctly than I, but in MY experience (so far) with the two Gecko drives
(G210) I have, driving small KML061 motors, the "steps" are nicely chopped
into TEN stair-step segments, and this DOES seem to produce less of a "buzz"
when the steppers turn at lower speeds, where "resonances" sometimes happen,
anyway.

Mariss??? Tell us about this detail! Jan Rowland
