in the general settings, the check box is unchecked. but wouldn't that just effect g4?
using sleep, so that has to be MS ?

Thanks Brett,
think i'll leave it at 4ipm and move on.
but should the blended FR change when only
one axis is moving ?

and the sleep, is that in ms ?
i have 2500, is that 2.5 seconds ?

is there a setting that will make the blended feed rate and the
feed rate closer. it even blends when one axis is moving.
don't know if that's right.
Thanks

it's to count each Z step when cutting a pocket.
M1002 is to reset the counter. M1001 counts.
this is what i ended with. took the reset out cause i don't
know if i want it reset if i just stop the gcode to adjust.

If  IsMoving (  ) Then
GetUserDRO (1011)
Else
GetUserDRO (1011)
SetUserDRO (1011 , 0)
End  If
