Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] freqmod, what is it?

Hi Tomp

freqmod is capable of producing step/dir, two phase, quadrature, and four
phase outputs. The default is step/dir.

It sounds like you need to add some deadband to each of the axis selections
of your ini file. I'd suggest a value equal to half the resolution of your
system. i.e. if you have 1000 steps per inch, set DEADBAND = 0.0005

Regards, Paul.
