Were you able to get the Acceleration values figured out?
It could be worth doing an Autotune and letting CNC12 set the values for you and then adjust them from there.
Section 6.7 of the Allin1DC manual touches on this very briefly.
There's also more info on this in the mill operator manual on page 383/384 section 15.5.2:

No updates. I was waiting on CNC Kieth to look at the report I submitted.

i lost track of the question, what is the issue? these are centroid dc motors, configure them as the manual says.
are you having tuning issues? then describe the issue please.
you can arrange a 1 one 1 remote tuning session with a centroid tech if you need help

I was having trouble with the acceleration test and you asked for a report.

Yep, got the report looked at. It looks like you have the right PID parameters. What is the problem you're having?

I was having trouble with the acceleration test. It was not getting up to speed fast enough.

ok. are we talking about the Accel time?
i see you have it at .2800 for the X axis. that is fast for a knee mill. i would run it at .5 for starters and then maybe reduce it to .375
also reduce the Max rates for X and Y axis to 400 ipm and 200 for the Z axis. these are common rates to run a knee mill at.
