Abstract
A system for controlling the amplitude of a drive signal applied to a stepping motor in a manner minimizing the effects of resonance on the resultant angular velocity of the motor shaft. Means are provided for comparing a desired motor drive frequency against one or more known resonant frequencies and, responsive to such comparison, for producing a motor drive signal at an amplitude predetermined to minimize oscillatory fluctuations in the motor shaft velocity.
