There was a big thread a few years ago debating whether it was better to have the dead band or not, as having the deadband may throw off the results once you start moving.
We observed significant standing-still error with the new control system as well, somewhere around this order of magnitude.
By modifying the Deadband, as suggested, we got much more stable results and still observed good accuracy when moving.
