KD  set derivative gain 
 
   IMM PGM  MIP  
 
SYNTAX     xxKDnn  or  xxKD? 
active for any DC servo based motion device that has been selected to operate in 
closed loop. 
 
RETURNS  If the “?” sign takes the place of nn value, this command reports the current 
setting

DESCRIPTION   This command sets the derivative gain factor Kd of the PID closed loop.  It is  
 The command can be sent at any time but it has no effect until the  UF (update  
    filter) is received. 
. 
 See the "Servo Tuning" chapter on how to adjust the PID filter parameters. 
 
 
 
REL. COMMANDS    KI  -  set integral gain factor 
 KP -  set proportional gain factor 
 KS -  set saturation gain factor 
 UF -  update filter
