Mach3 Plasma No Z in Milliseconds

Problems and questions
1

Hello, I need my Post to output dwell in milliseconds due to a macro that uses time that way in Mach3. When I choose the unit “Time” milliseconds in Sheetcam TNG the post still outputs in seconds. Example 500 milliseconds post out “G4 P.5”. Can Sheetcam change the Postprocessor format to milliseconds as “G4 P500”?

Let me know,

Bill

You will need to modify the post. Go to Options->machine->post processor and click on the ‘Edit post’ button. Search for G04. You will find code similar to this:

      post.Text (" G04 P")
      post.Number (pierceDelay,"0.###")

Change it to:

      post.Text (" G04 P")
      post.Number (pierceDelay * 1000,"0.###")

You will probably have to make this change in a couple of places.

Thank You Les, that works great. I tried editing the Post Processor before using the Forum but I must have had the Syntax wrong.
