 ====Selecting the Appropriate Pulse Width for your motor====
+{{youtube>lNStgX_STXk?large}}
 A common procedure required for proper motor operation is selecting the appropriate pulse width for the signal going from the controller to the step/servo motor on the CNC machine. A minimum pulse width is usually noted by the motor manufacturer so as to ensure that the motor can register the signals going to it from the controller (if the pulse width is lower, then the motor cannot "see" the impulse being sent from the controller to the machine).

       *The 12 μs corresponds to Setting 7 in the chart, thus the **Pulse width** value should be set to 7 in myCNC software.
-         *//NOTE: The first value in the **Pulse Width** line refers to the first four axes of the controller (for example, the horizontal X and Y axes), while the second value refers to the other two axes of the controller (for example, the vertical Z axis). These values are set to be different if the controller used on the vertical axis is separate from that used on the horizontal, and are left the same if a single controller is used. If two controllers are desired, the calculations for these values need to be performed separately based on the desired speed for each axis//
+         *//NOTE: The first value in the **Pulse Width** line refers to the first four motor outputs (for example, the X+, X-, Y+ and Y- axes), while the second value refers to the other two motor outputs (for example, the vertical Z+ and Z- axis). These values are typically left to be the same unless different motors are connected to different motor outputs (for example, a stepper/servo combo).//
