AXYZ retrofit - Stepper driver settings

I have minimal documentation on the AXYZ stepper drives (AXI 2200 microstepper). I have a wiring diagram and some calibration data for the machine size, steps/mm, velocity and acceleration. However, I don’t have specs on the drive step timing (ie step time, step space, dir hold, dir setup) in nanoseconds.  

Is it safe to just try a few of the pre-configured Geko drives and see what happens? Overall, how big of
an issue is this and what are my options to figure it out?

Start with generic values, should be 5000/5000, direction is not important so leave it at 20000.
You can safely try Gecko settings, mark the motor pulley/shaft with a marker and set it to go back and forth several turns and several times, see if it returns exactly where you marked it, if it misses even by a very small bit, do not use those settings on a production machine.
