This gcode will raise the acceleration limits (M201), set acceleration (M204) and set junction deviation/jerk (M205) for the purposes of the test. If you print another job afterwards these higher values will still be in place. If you are unsure how to restore your previous values, the easiest thing to do is to power cycle the printer.
Please use the following video as a guide to this test:

+where 400 is the value of the acceleration with the best compromise based on the tower test print.
+It's also worth noting that the M201 value acts as a per axis limit for acceleration. For example, if you set the M204 print acceleration to 1000 but the X and Y M201 acceleration limits are only 800, then the M204 P value will be capped at 800. Use M503 to see the current M201 values, and if necessary, use M201 to set higher X and Y acceleration limit values to suit.

You would then repeat the test with all of the acceleration values locked at your preferred value for each segment, but this time varying jerk/junction deviation.
To save for a printer with jerk (with a determined best compromise of 8 for this example), we would enter:
