KS

FUNCTION: Step Motor Smoothing

DESCRIPTION:

The KS parameter sets the amount of smoothing of stepper motor pulses. This is most useful

when operating in full or half step mode. Larger values of KS provide greater
smoothness. This parameter will also increase the motion time by 3KS sampling
periods. KS adds a single pole low pass filter onto the output of the motion profiler.

Note: KS will cause a delay in the generation of output steps.

ARGUMENTS: KS n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n or

KSA=n where

n is a positive number in the range between 0.25 and 64 with a resolution of 1/32.

n = ?

Returns the value of the smoothing constant for the specified axis.
