I'd like to provide a little constructive criticism on the Phaserunner software.
There is a lot of important info that is provided in the hover-over popups and it's tricky to make it appear, and harder to make it stay visible long enough to read the whole thing without needing to move your mouse off the setting then back on to get the hover-over popup back. I think the best bet would be to move all this into a help menu available in the software. Alternatively, you could make a little icon next to each setting that you can click on to view the popup content and it stays visible until you click away or close it.
I also recommend making the very first step in the manual setting the Feedback Bandwidth Tuning, since if this is too low on a geared motor you'll get phase over current faults just trying to run auto-tune. You also mention this setting almost as an afterthought at the end of the sensorless self start section in the manual. I think that this should really be it's own section and it should be step number 1. Getting this right is critical for geared hubs or else you'll get all sorts of faults, so making this step one and making it it's own section that includes the info that's provided in the hover popup would go a long way in making the setup process much easier.
