Grr... Why is MAX so wonky?


Recommended Posts

I've been using MAX to set up 7358 parameters for a motion control application and I swear* MAX is intentionally trying to irritate me. I must have put the same settings in half a dozen times, saved them, and even set them to be the default values for the controller card. Yet every so often the settings change in an unpredictable way. I mean, yeah, I'm resetting the card, loading (or trying to load) different configuration files, but sometimes the settings stick, sometimes they don't. If there's a logical explanation for the behavior I'm at a loss to explain what it is.

Oh yeah, I had hoped to read some of the controller card settings from the MAX file or using the motion vis--specifically the motor step/distance and encoder count/distance ratios--but there doesn't seem to be any way to get that configuration data from the file or the controller card. Grr...

(*NOT a figure of speech)
