Jaguar brake/coast behavior / ramp mode question

1. Our team is interested in how the brake/coast setting on the Jaguars work.

We removed the brake/coast jumpers from the two Jaguars controlling our drive train and there wasn't a noticeable difference in behavior. The Jags are controlled via PWM.

The documentation we found isn't very specific about what the brake/coast setting actually does. Can anyone point us to a specific discussion on how the Jag's behavior changes in these two modes?

2. Is there a reason why a team would select the ramp mode on the Jag when controlling drive train motors?

Steve
