Couldnt think of a good title for this thread but here is the problem.

With SS running and all my settings the same as pre SS , when I call out a distance for the x axis to move,  g01 x5.00 f2.00   , the DRO will read x5.0045 and the dial indicator I am using also confirms thats the actual distance the table has traveled.  After that move if I type g01 x0.00 f2. , the table moves and stops at x.0045 , confirmed by both the DRO and the dial indicator .  It doesnt matter what my initial call out is x5.00 or x25.00 it always moves an additional .0045 when starting from zero and always moves back to .0045 when I call out x0.00 .     
It also doesnt matter if its a rapid move or g01 , also doesnt matter what the feed rate is , f.5 or f40. , always the same .0045 overshoot when starting from zero . based on the fact that it does this even at a crawl I dont think its an issue of inertia or overshooting .

I can call out x 8.00 starting from x0.00 and it will move to x8.0045 , I can then call out x10.00 and it moves to x 10.0045 , then call out x12.00 and it moves to x12.0045 , from that point call out x0.00 and it moves to x0.0045 , the .0045 isnt added at each move , just the initial move off x0.00.

If I call out x5.00 and the machine moves to x5.0045 and I then zero the x axis , call out x5.00 again it will again travel x5.0045

Apologies for the confusing description I just want to accuratley point out whats happening . The machine also has nice tight ball screws and virtualy no backlash and the backlash compensation settings are all at zero .

Did you set up a new profile for the SS, some of the Beta testers had weird probs when they just used the same profile. I never had these problems but maybe I was just lucky
 Also what revision of plugin are you using?
Hood

yes I believe we did, the driver and plugin were both downloaded today so I am guessing they are the most recent updates

Do you have Mach kernel set to 25KHz? dont think it should affect things the way you are seeing as it only seemed to affect the Feed Rate DRO if set to anything else. The feedrate was correct just showed wrong. As I said I dont think it will help your problem but certainly worth a try.

Well I am up and running , Hood you were spot on with the need to create a new profile . Thanks to Chaoticone spending the morning on the phone with me we (well he) got it all sqaured away and its running like a top .

great news

you mean when we install SS,we need to create a new profile?

Some of the Beta testers had problems when they just used the standard PP profile for the SS, I think it was usually after a few changes to the plugi etc had been done so I think it was figured that the changes in that was the problem more than using the PP profile itself.
 I used my PP profile to clone another for the SS and never saw any problems but if you are experiencing problems then it may be a good idea to set up a new p[rofile for the SS.

it sure solved my problems
