We have the encoder signal split, going to the digital side card, and I've been using the digital side card encoder to track the performance of the speed control.
I expected that the Jaguar would have reported the current speed, not the set point. I played some with the D term but got nothing useful.

You need to use GetStatus to find the measured speed. The headers / context help contains information. You should read it.
