Re: Jaguar "Whiplash"
Can't say I have ever experienced that but I realize it can happen. I haven't had a Jag burnout since 09 Grey Jags with the faulty gate driver (U6).
The Jaguars have a voltage ramp feature built into their firmware. You can set it via the CAN bus using CANJaguar::SetVoltageRampRate(double rampRate) in C++ (I assume there are similar VIs for LV). I have never used it personally but like most things that require tuning, I recommend you set the rate using a throttle on the joystick. That way you can drive around and adjust the throttle (start with the slowest rate to save your Jags) till you find a setting that works for your drivers. Then you can hard code that rate.
Of course if you don't like the built in voltage ramp or don't use CAN, you can always code one yourself.
