Re: paper: Talon, Victor884, Victor888, and Jaguar speed vs torque tests

Ether, if I examine the graph for the CIM with the Victor 884, it shows that at the top PWM setting, the Victor gives significantly less power than any other of the motor controlers. Di you simply not go to the top PWM setting for that motor controler? Is the 884 truely weaker?

Also, your results seem to show that the motor curves, even at full power, are slightly diferent across motor controlers. Is this an artifact of the testing? If it has to do with the electronic characteristics of the motor controlers, could you elaborate on the design implications?
