I used G37 ON (velocity based PWM on).
Did not enable G93 (inverse time mode).

Was using G37. I'll have to check the G93

Your other question about adjusting velocity modulation is very interesting. I know nothing about how that works, but it's an interesting question as to how it might be 'off' (if that is even a thing here). It made me wonder whether certain smoothing settings might affect motion in a way not anticipated by the PP. It certainly is an issue with the delay caused by RAS with Clearpath servos. When I did the rotary laser engraving I had all smoothing switched off.
