Reset encoder counter causes a jump

When I reset the encoder counter via script using setcommand(_C, 1, 0) the motor jumps a bit.
It seems a high amount of amps is briefly blasted through the motor before it calms down.

After the burst the motors work normally and i cannot see any problems while they run.

The motors are in closed-loop speed mode while the vehicle is driving.
The motors are set to open-loop before I reset the encoder count.
Once reset, the motors are set back to closed-loop

This is the code:
setconfig(_MMOD, 1, 0)
setconfig(_MMOD, 2, 0)
setcommand(_C, 1, 0)
setcommand(_C, 2, 0)
setconfig(_MMOD, 1, 1)
setconfig(_MMOD, 2, 1)

The motor command is always 0 when this piece of code is run.

I am using a MDC2230

The controller runs through a loop every 1ms. You need to allow at least that much time for a change to take effect. Add wait statements as shown:

setconfig(_MMOD, 1, 0)
setconfig(_MMOD, 2, 0)
wait(5)
setcommand(_C, 1, 0)
setcommand(_C, 2, 0)
wait(5)
setconfig(_MMOD, 1, 1)
setconfig(_MMOD, 2, 1)

5mS did not fully solve the problem, it often worked well for one motor but the other still made a jump.

Increasing the wait command to 10mS appears to have solved the matter as it has not occured since the change.

Thank you for your assistance.
