Hi,
Tom is right, Warp9's ESS allows you to program approach and backoff speeds. I don't believe it was always this way, I suspect it has changed with the
later plugin builds from Warp9, there have been half a dozen in the last year or so.
The point being that it can be done, its not dependent on Mach4 doing something....to whit....the ESS already does it.
To give CSlabs their due their Mach4 plugin is still pretty new and by their own admission its a work in progress. Its not uncommon for a controller/plugin manufacturer
to claim that it requires some feature in Mach4 that NFS has yet to provide that prevents them from supporting some feature. I saw a response that Mach4 was lacking
and therefore CNCDrive could not support THC. That patently untrue, Vital Systems Hicon board makes a very good job of THC with exactly the same Mach4 build.
In this instance I think CSLabs are telling porkies too, if they wish to support different approach and backoff speeds they can, they just havr to roll up their sleeves.
