RAS (

vibration and resonance suppression features. Although these features
work somewhat differently, both were designed to help produce smooth
motion, reduce machine vibration, improve settling time, and decrease
audible noise.
Note: RAS and g-Stop cannot be used simultaneously.

RAS is a jerk limiting, and jerk-derivative limiting feature based on
proprietary technology developed by Teknic.
The RAS software uses advanced algorithms to analyze each commanded
move and rapidly calculate and "fit" a forth-order polynomial spline to it.
This converts the sharp transitions between constant velocity and
acceleration with more gradual, rounded corners.
Controlling the rate of change of acceleration in this manner results in
moves that are lower in vibration, quieter, and easier on the machine's
mechanical parts.
