Rapid Speed Screenset
« on: July 14, 2016, 06:17:33 AM »
We have a new screenset with Mach3 and now the SHIFT key on the keyboard is not allowing rapid speeds. If I press SHIFT and arrow the machine doesn't move at all, and when only arrow key, the machine moves at slow speed...

Anyone knows what that could be?

It may depend on your new screenset but…

Pressing the TAB key brings up the MPG window the Slow Jog Rate determines the Arrow key % jog rate and this is then overridden to 100% jog rate by the Shift + Arrow keys. If your screenset does not work this way then check out the screenset for the problem.

Ok - this is a whole new screenset, only 1 page (not even tab window)...

I understand the Slow Jog Rate, that is actually build into main screen. I can set it at any % and that works, but I don't know how to ensure SHIFT works with screenset. Do I need a certain button to enable SHIFT function on the main screen set? Or is there a hidden setting somewhere?

Load a standard screenset and see if it works, if it does then it must be something in your screenset so if you attach it and the associated bitmaps (if any) I will take a look.

Hi Guys, just an update!

I finally have it working. It seems like you have to tell the screenset to work in Continuous mode and then it will stay like that. I added buttons and played around until I got it working, and I'm sure that because I don't have buttons to change the Continuous mode that I can remove buttons again after I have it working.

This is what I did: I added 2 buttons on the screen: Toggle Jog Mode and Set Jog Mode Continuous, then added a LED - Continuous Jog Mode. When I start Mach3 the CONT JOG LED was off. Then I pressed the Toggle Jog Mode until Continuous LED came on, and then press Set Jog Mode Continuous. After that it seemed to work. I closed Mach3 and when I started it again the Continuous LED was already ON and everything works!

Hope this might help somebody! :)
