Ramping Motors?

If you are using jaguars, they have ramping modes built in(but disabled by default). To enable voltage ramping, you need to change some jumpers.(see in the attached manual p.12) You can even change the rate of ramping using the serial interface and some NI software.

Checkout page 11 of the attached manual to see if this is what you want. Look at coast/break jumper and the automatic ramp mode.

Of course there's a jumper solution. Why didn't I think of it?

Also, the guide on commands was really bad. I'll take it into account that it loops repeatedly. Thanks to you both!
