Art,

I am trying to check my other computers to see what pulse frequency they can produce but one of them shows "simulated" in the pulse frequency DRO. Can I find out if this computer is suitable without hooking it up to my mill or does this indicate that it won't work with Mach3?

Thanks Art,
Pulse rate shows about 26k when set at 25K, 34k when set at 35k and about 23.5k when set at higher kernel speeds. My mill seems to run and sound best with 35k kernel and 1/2 pulse mode. Is there a way to increase the pulse frequency on the computer?

Art & Chad,
I installed the new version and the higher kernel speeds produce a much smoother mill operation for me. However the velocity displays are not correct. Example if I use a kernel speed of 60,000 and my feed rate is set to 1000 in motor tuning, jogging at that speed shows about 2500 feed rate on the velocity DRO although it is actually moving at 1000. When I run a file with a feed rate of 1000 the velocity reads 1000 but it actually runs much slower, about 400. Do I need to set something else to adjust for the higher kernel speed?
