Time delay between moves.

Jochen, Thanks for the suggestions.

Reducing the delay to around 10ms will be useful for now.

How do I reduce the "poll the axis status" delay?

Thanks.

Cosmund,

 

sorry for the late response, but I was out for a tradeshow last week.  To reduce the delay, you need to open the subvis generated by Motion Assistant and reduce the wait time of the polling while loops. Please note, that the faster the loop runs, the more CPU usage you will see, so you shouldn't reduce the delay to zero.

Again: This won't result in a deterministic timing behavior. The clean solution is to use blending.

Jochen, Thanks for the info.

I did reduce the polling time cycle, and it seems to have reduced the delay. I will look into the blending stuff.
