3.2. Current loop

Loop over current from 10 to 100mA by steps of 10. For each setting, performs nturns *OPEN LOOP* movements of 360 degrees (default = 3). Open loop movement means that the wheel is driven for a given time, depending on the size of the movement and the rate. Consequently, the movement might finally not be of the expected size.

3.3. Rate

The following test aims at checking the feasability and behaviour stability of the FWs operated at higher rates (= higher speed). The baseline rate = 100, corresponding to an angular speed of 360 degrees in 18.75 seconds.

4. Control parameters II : parameters tuned for each filter position

Here the control parameters are commanded before each FW movement. The goal is to use very high threshold values, tuned for each position individually.
