Hi, Art

Thanks for the clarification, Yes in fact it dose work, Down and back UP to pass feed rate as Timing changes.

I wasn't changing the timing enough to see it working.

Back to getting both OPTO's working on my Compact 5 for some actual cutting.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art

In simulation it appears that you need both Index and Timing pulses to get threading to start, Slowing Index during pass doesn't seem to take affect till next pass

Number of Slot's work above 80 on both computers now, Scope on top still doesn't work.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Kevin

You would need to add it to the screen set with screen4 editor or find a screen set that has it already.

Hi, Art

On my non stable computer, Threading will start at above 80 slots.

First 2 pic's with stable Pulse Frequency, 3'rd with mouse movement, 4'th without mouse movement.

Can you set the scope to stay on top.

4 more pis's one post UP, Of my stable computer.

Hi, Art

Every thing is looking pretty good, As long as you start ruff's with a Left Hand Cutter, I still think All rough cut's should be treated the same on the Right End of the Profile.

As for Final Passes at least a couple and the last to be a Spring "type" pass, Tool changes transiting to final pass will sort themselves out by rearing it's Ugly Head after a final pass is implemented, I'd Think.

Thanks, Chip
