What is the easiest way to input a continuous sinusoidal sweep with 2 individual motors?

I would like to have the 2 motors be in phase, but I would prefer not to slave them together.

I tried the sample code, but vector mode does not work for my 2 longitudinal motor setup. I am also attempting to use the PVT command but the profile is very "jumpy" and not as smooth as I would like.

Would like to have inputs in terms of frequency and amplitude if possible.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Hello Adron Barrier,
Vector mode would be the easiest for programming continuous sweep.
There might be a number of reasons why you are seeing "jumpy" profile. The first thing that comes to mind is improper buffer maintenance, but there might be other reasons.
Another easy way to implement sinusoidal sweep is contour mode.
In order to assist you better, I would need more information about your system and its restrictions.
Please send an email to support@galil.com and ask to forward your email to Andriy so I can get more information on your application.

Thank you,
