RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC question

You do not say the speed of the computer. EMC using any of the stepper
programs really needs a 200 Mhz at an absolute minimum and that will not
give you great performance. If you are using freqmod.o you will want at
least a 350 Mhz or so. Using the minimums will greatly limit your feeds
and you will have a lot more problems with pulse jitter.
