elapsed time?
« on: July 27, 2015, 08:03:55 PM »
Has anyone figured out a way to display toolpath elapsed time in Mach 4 (time from cycle start to toolpath finish)? Mach 3 has this feature and I'm suprised Mach 4 doesn't include it.

Hi blockhead, thanks for the response. Where is the probing screenset located? I see screenset for M3 on the website but none for M4. I ran several searches on the forum and did not find info on elapsed timers... could you point me to the post?
Thanks in advance.

I installed to the Mach3Mill profile, I don't see any "Probing" tab, or any "Elapsed Time" tool.  What's supposed to happen?

OK it loaded, but all it's doing it "elapsed time since booted", not even runtime. 

I was hoping for a view to see the projected runtime, that's what I actually need out of this.  Mach3 had that "Simulate Program Run" button in Toolpath.  That's what I need.

Load some code then press cycle start it should reset and start running again  Sometime it does and sometime it does not. It wil normally run and stop ok just not reset correctly.
