Units/Min Question
« on: December 05, 2012, 08:12:54 PM »
Hello,

I have used an old version of Mach 3 at a friends house for some time.  I setup my machine and have the table working and cutting correctly.

Each of the axis's move in inches and I have verified the machine actually moves 1 in when I tell it to.

Now my problem, the units/unit still seems like it is displaying in cm.  I have the system configured for in (config-units).

Any ideas what I have missed?

Thanks

Mach3 R3.043.066

I have confirmed it's units of mm/min.

Bit confused to what you are saying, if you command a move of 1 inch you say  it moves 1 inch then you say you  think it is displaying  in mm/min?
Can you try and explain a bit better?

On the control screen there is a section called Feed Rate.  The units/min is displaying the speed the machine is moving in mm/min.

I have set the units as inches however this seems to still want to use mm.

Working fine here, if I MDI a G1 with a F20 then it moves at 20 IPM, F50 it moves 50IPM, F85/85IPM.
Are you running coe when you are seeing the feerate showing high? If so could the code be written in metric, ie has a G21 in it?

Attached is the Gcode I ran.  It cuts out the part just fine but the section I have pointed to in the pic is wrong.
