Re: Help with CAN/ JAG encoder settings

The encoder count should equal the actual encoder. You should not adjust it below or above the actual encoder generally.

In doing so, you create a situation in which the Jaguar will improperly calculate or report anything that is based on a full revolution. After all, it will think there are more or less positions in that full revolution than the encoder can really report.

The PID values are a separate matter. I've not used the Jaguar PID loop with LabView. I can tell you that you should review various posts on this subject. You should remember that Jaguar implements an ideal PID loop, while LabView implements a time domain (standard) version of that loop from what I've seen.
