Response Move to the “Response” block and place the cursor in the “bandwidth” window,
and click on it.
The “bandwidth” is a measure of the range over which the system can respond. It
is expressed in frequency or Hertz. This parameter controls the “rise time” of the
system. It does not effect overshoot.
It is recommended that bandwidth is increased only if higher dynamic response is
required. Increase the bandwidth and observe (go to plotting of move) the
“velocity” and “command current”, until current reaches maximum value, then back
off to 80%. The range is from 10–200.
The next step, would be to verify that the value you entered, provides for adequate
system response. You can check this out, by having the software move the
equipment and plot the response. Proceed to “Plotting of Move”.

Tracking factor
The tracking factor parameter controls the amount of tracking versus overshoot.
The range is 0 to 200. A “tracking factor” of “0” generates no overshoot. A
“tracking factor” of 200 results in a PI equivalent control (i.e. with overshoot).
The next step, would be to verify that the values you entered, provides for
adequate system response. You can check this out, by having the software move
the equipment and plot the response. Proceed to “Plotting of Move”.
Click in the “Tracking” block and enter the desired adjustment value. This
adjustment is used for applications that require improved tracking (or following)
capability, to improve (or reduce) following error.
