M505.6PD Wait for Axes to stop: Accuracy and poll time question

I have written a program in Labview to contorl an M505.6 PD linear stage.  After moving the stage, I notice that for a very small amount of time, the stage seems to be "settling" into the target position.  This settling occurs even after I have received a "true" value to the query  "stopped?". 
Increasing the Polling Cycle Time lowers the amount of "settling" that occurs after receiving a value of "true".
My question is, is there any place I can find more information about this settling that occurs or perhaps someone has encountered this before and has concluded the minimum polling cycle time required to prevent settling given some sort of parameter.
Please let me know if there is any more information I can give that would help.

Hello riraheta,
It would be helpful if you could provide a link to product page for the motor on the manufacturer’s website. It would also be helpful if you could find and post the datasheet and/or user manual here for everybody’s reference.
You say you have observed this settling behavior, which sounds like a physical phenomenon. It is probably best for you to also contact the motor manufacturer. They will be more familiar with the internal design of the motor and its expected performance behavior, so they might be able to explain this settling behavior.
Otherwise what functions are you using? Are you using functions provided by the motors manufacturer? Some companies provide LabVIEW function libraries with VIs they have written specifically for their hardware. Or are you using the NI-Motion driver?

  • Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app?  I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.

    Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app?  I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.
    As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.
    VERY ANNOYING.  Can I open apps in the background?

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions. J D, I'm not a terminal fan, but I'm sure it works.  I found a solution that I can use in the dock from another post.

    Works great and allows me to maximize those multitasking minutes.

    no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

    Hello Marcia,
    Sorry you are having trouble syncing content with your iPhone 5. I found an article that might help with this syncing issue:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Also, you can delete the songs from the iPhone without syncing by just swiping from left to right over the song to get a delete button. 
    I hope this helps!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    Howdy eewebe13,
    So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
    Please step through this article for that scenario.

  • When connecting my iphone to the computer all goaes well on the sync (ing) is that when its finished I have a message that itunes is waiting for changes to be applied and the programme will not finish the complete sync!! any answers please.

    When connecting my iphone to the computer, all goes well with the sync until the last step. Step 6. It says "waiting for changes to be applied" and won't complete the sync!! anyone know how to rectify.

    I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
    I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
    I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • I exported a library as to an ext HD. Trying to import it back in to managed lib, her message could not be  imported, still exporting, wait for export to stop

    exported some pictures from a project to a HD, as a library, and everything went smooth. I go to import it back into my original library [ I know it comes back as a project] and repeatedly get the message "Library could not be imported because it is still being exported. Please wait for export to complete and try again." That was two days ago. How do I get my pics back?

    Have you tried to repair your Libraries? Both, the original library you exported from, and the exported library?
    Start with repairing the permissions, and then repairing the database.
    To repair using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools, hold down both the options and the command key at the same time, and with both ⌥⌘ keys firmly pressed, double click the Aperture library that you want to repair.
    Select the "repair" option you want to use from the panel that will pop up,

  • Brand new iphone 5 says waiting for changes to be applied forever, every time I sync my phone.

    I previously had an iphone 4, and after backing up everything, i bought an iphone 5 and transfered everything to the new phone when i was at the apple store. i brought my laptop to get help syncing the music, but it gets stuck in a perpetual loading screen and gets stuck on waiting for changes to be applied. i cannot cancel the sync unless i eject my phone. and when i do, all of the music is greyed out, when i plug my phone in again, it starts syncing and stops when it says waiting for changes to be applied, or sometimes copying files. ive restarted my computer, my phone, un-plugged and plugged back in, everything is up to date, i un-installed and then re-installed itunes and nothing seems to work. i could sync everything fine before when i had the ophone 4. i have an HP laptop with windows 8 and i core 7, and theres a label that says nvidia geforce gt 635 (hopefully the info helps)
    Can anybody please help me with this?

    so i went back to the apple store and the only solution was to trade in your phone for a new one because there was a faulty conector in the microport. hopefully you have a waranty and your stuff backed up!

  • When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours.  How can this be fixed?

    I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently.  I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied"  I have tried everything to correct this.  When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated.  Any ideas????

    Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
    Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
    I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
    Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
    p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.
