Title: Converting seconds to milliseconds
Post by: labuda on October 21, 2008, 09:21:13 PM

Hi,

My G-code contains dwell times in milliseconds, but Mach3 interprets it in seconds. So, I end up waiting 80 seconds burning my tool instead of a quick 80 milliseconds.
Anyone know how to ask Mach to interpret in seconds? I'm tired of editing my G-code.

Thanks
aleks.

aleks,
you can define the time unit in          config>general logic configuration    right hand side of the screen
check box for    "G04 Dwell in ms"
