Mp3000+DCC+scriber post question

I've just started using this post to go with my MP3000 THC from CandCNC.
In the tool properties I now have extra features connected with DCC - tip volts, suggested tip size and THC delay.
I know the suggested tip size is for reference only but why does it seem fixed to 45A, if I type into the box it changes but as soon as I exit the box it snaps back to 45 A?

I'll assume your talking about the table you pull up under the Tool Table Editor. When you click on the box you want to change, double click it so that the value is highlighted. Then type in the new value and save the table. It works for me, so I hope it works for you too.
Edit: Ok, I lied. After reading your post again, I tried it again (I tried changing the Preset current before), and indeed it doesn't change.

Anyone else noticed this?
Bug possibly?

That appears to be a bug in the post. That parameter is set up to allow a minimum of 45A with a default of 25A, which is a bit strange.
Edit the post and look for this line:
Code: Select all
post.DefineCustomToolParam("PlasmaTool", "Tip Size -Amps", "tipSize", sc.unit0DECPLACE, 25, 45, 200)
and change it to:
Code: Select all
post.DefineCustomToolParam("PlasmaTool", "Tip Size -Amps", "tipSize", sc.unit0DECPLACE, 45, 25, 200)
