General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3R3.037 & Windows Task Manager CPU % Load
« on: March 04, 2008, 07:08:03 PM »
Hi, All
I've narrowed this problem down a little, It seems to be more prevalent in G-code files with A axis moves.
Mach3 in Feed-Hold or Stop usually reduces CPU usage to 00-06 %.
The Issue I'm having is when running the following code on Feed-hold or Stop in Tool Path screen the CPU stays at 70-90 %.
(Bigger view screen more CPU usage).
This also cause's, MDI, MPG and Safe Z hight to not work after Stop is Pressed, Sometimes.
The only way to get the CPU back down to 03-06 % is to change screen view's.
Even after changing screen's an additional Stop is Sometimes needed Again to regain, MDI,MPG and Safe Z Function.
Maybe some other's could try this, Cause one "squeaky wheel" will never/almost never get the Grease/Fix.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up Task Mansger, Size it down, Options Tab check it for "Always On Top", Use Process or Preformance Tab to View.
