Belt tension graph interpretation help
I generated the belt tension graph after replacing the idlers, belts, and pulleys (They were due for a change) and was wondering how to interpret the graph. I've always used the Gates Carbon Drive frequency analyzer to measure the frequency of a 150mm section of the belt in the past, and it has worked somewhat ok for me. I figured since RatOS comes with a belt tension measurement macro, I should try it out. This is the graph I get. As I understand since the machine is CoreXY, adjusting one belt impacts the tension on the other as well, so what is the next step I have to take when looking at this graph?

That means the upper belt needs a bit more tension.
Perhaps, release just a touch the lower and tighten the upper....

Thanks, @MDFPereira I'll give that a try. So, essentially the belt with the lower PSD reading needs more tension?
Yes…
