Using the KS Command (Step Motor Smoothing):
When operating with step motors, motion smoothing can be accomplished with the command, KS.
The KS command smoothes the frequency of step motor pulses. Similar to the commands, IT and VT,
this produces a smooth velocity profile.
The step motor smoothing is specified by the following command:
KS x,y,z,w where x,y,z,w is an integer from 1 to 16 and represents the amount of smoothing
The command, IT, is used for smoothing independent moves of the type JG, PR, PA and the
command, VT, is used to smooth vector moves of the type VM and LM.
