Dwell times in mplmaster

[dourk]

I'm trying to dwell after a movement on the lathe, and the post (mplmaster, X2) is producing the wrong time...

 

G4 P8420

 

when it should be

 

G4 P842

 

causing the machine to dwell for 20 revs instead of 2. Any ideas where to look in the post on control config?

 

Thanks!

Here is the format for dwell, by default in mplmaster post for X2.

 

Search for dwell. You should find this.

 

code:

---

fmt  P  16  dwell$       #Dwell

---

If you look at the fs2 statements above it you will see:

 

code:

---

fs2 16  0 4 0 3t    #No decimal, absolute, 4 trailing

---

Change it to:

 

code:

---

fs2 16  0 3 0 3t    #No decimal, absolute, 3 trailing

---

HTH
