The link to APO seems to be down right now, but I recommend checking the current rotator acceleration on the TCC by:
$ type tdat:axelim.dat
and comparing this to the value used by the MCP (which I have no idea how to obtain. I would very much like to know the various limits used by the MCP and the wind baffle controller.)
