G4 "seconds" selected units still display as "msec"

Postby dammogreen » Wed Feb 14, 2018 1:18 am

In general config: If "G4" (seconds) checked......the units for spindle delays still show as "msec"

tell tale was that my code appeared to hang when actually it was just pausing for 1000 seconds because I thought I had "1000 msec" entered as the delay. ;)

( it correctly uses seconds as the delay when running th g code.)

G4 and spindle delay are two different things.

Perhaps G4 is meant to be only for G73, but if you check G4 to be seconds it does change the actual spindle delay to seconds (in reality)....the spindle delay units still show as "msec"

I just tested it again

Also I am controlling the spindle VFD by modbus, in case that helps.

I think I misunderstood what you were saying...

The "msec" text is on the background image, so it cannot change in runtime.

The setting for count in seconds will change the G4 and canned cycles timing and also the M3/M4/M5, M7/M8/M9 delays.

Yes, the problem is that the msec text is static, it is on the background, so the software can't change the text based on the setting.

maybe put a static note : "units are in G4 units" as a 1000 sec(for example) wait could cause a crash or at least a surprise , as machine may "restart" unexpectedly.
