"Move" is my variable which I calculate as a difference between previous position and current new one. If something not ok with boss keywords, so my difference is suffering and you see the problem. I check with archiver and see some spike in values: 2012-09-16T09:57:56.473580 22340 22641 22567 31800 32111 32589 2012-09-16T09:57:09.715900 22340 22641 22567 31800 32111 32589 2012-09-16T09:56:39.978220 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 2012-09-16T09:44:39.222030 22340 22641 22567 31800 32111 32589 2012-09-16T09:43:20.838710 22340 22641 22567 31800 32111 32589 I also echo this differences and original position values to stui local log (by echo of logFun script output) in file with name /Users//Documents/stuilog2012-09-16:02:56:51.txt You might grep "motorPos" and see your values. This log is not for long time. I do not remember but STUI is keeping some reasonable amount on disk and delete old ones.
