    Hello again. Question: Is it possible to test the motion of my platform using all 3 motors without being in game mode?

    Depends on the Software and what you understand under testing?

    With Simhub you can test every cylinder on it´s own and also all angle and aclerations.

    SimTools has Output Testing, which also tests each axis, but if I understand @terry wells question it relates to testing all axis concurrently.

    I am not certain what @terry wells has in mind, but suspect it is along the lines of Virtual Plugins for SimTools, p.26 of the manual: https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SimTools-v3.pdf
