Question

How can I make the CTRIO2 output wave form more stable?

Answer

Due to the 10x higher speeds of CTRIO2 modules, the waveform isn't as forgiving as a CTRIO module was.
It might be necessary to use the following circuit if you notice differences between a CTRIO and CTRIO2 module being used as a replacement.

R: 10 to 50 ohms, C: 22nF (0.022 F)
Connect the R & C in series, then connect that across the CTRIO2 outputs (preferably at the stepper's inputs instead of just right at the CTRIO2's outputs).
