Re: Acorn won't run g code/mdi < lathe G98/G99?>

I suggest to install current 5.1 software with the updates for a better Network connection on some hardware.

How can i run the Finish Pass a second time? Paste and copy?

Re: best Threading strategy

If you want to add more threads, edit treadsdb.xml

Some the threads in there are from me ;)

You can run the profile finish pass a second time after threading.

Down in the rabbit hole again messing with settings..... :D The new Util button on the VCP is nice, but I changed it so that the StressTest is located in the cncm/system folder, because /ncfiles is for me a working folder with only the currently used files.

Re: Pro vs Ultimate, MPG questions...

Yes the only difference. Sender is the same, receiver is not, and from my experience they work much better than the cheap stuff on Linux or Mach.
