Spikiness zoomed in. Where does it come from?

I set it in position control without pid , motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.position-cmd 
just get this massive ferror spike but it runs ok. 
 

I am not sure that I believe those plots, I don't see how f-error can change that instantaneously.

How big is one encoder count, in mm? And how big is one step?

motor is 877.7143 / mm and encoder is 2000 /mm 
linear scale is 20um grating and EXE box multiply it by 10.

What do I do to make those plots believable?

I thought it could be the " hochohmig / nicht hochohmig"   (how's my German hey) on the exe box so I have changed high impedance to low with no visible change.
Any idea how to troubleshoot those spikes?

Well I just discovered that he f-error spikes must come from linuxcnc / mesa since in open loop 
this is input into f-error calculation instead of encoder
net    x-pos-fb    <=    hm2_7i95.0.stepgen.00.position-fb
net    x-pos-fb    =>    joint.0.motor-pos-fb

and I am guessing it will be the other input into the f-error calculation so the motor pos cmd? I dont know the inside of the system so it is my guess only but process of elimination.

is some wrong mesa setting? or is it linux cnc setting? computer problems? 
don't tell me that I am the only one in the world with this problem?

It is possible that these spikes are happening every servo period, and correspond to the position error due to the servo thread latency.
(Though it would have to be an aliasing problem, as there are 200 servo periods per square on the time axis)

You could switch to the approach commonly used with the Mesa stepgens of running them in velocity mode with a PID component. You then run a fixed P of 1000 and FF1 of 1.0 and the servo thread jitter is accounted for a little better.

But: Do you still have encoders? What do you see if you use those for feedback?

I have some work for the machine at the moment so I had to go back to original settings and slow it down again.
It is set like servo drives are in position control and linux is set like this:

If I don't use linear scales as feedback it drifts (X axis to the left/ negative direction)
