CNC12 Settings

Post by slice »

New to CNC12 mill, I did search here as well as in the manual.

Is there a way to only have 3 digits shown behind the decimal in the dro?

Is there an indication on the display to show whether absolute or incremental positioning is in use?

If you change to metric units, the DRO will change to 3 places of precision. Other than that, I don't believe it's possible but it is currently "on the drawing board" for a future release.

Set parameter 46 to 0 for a display of active g codes. It will display g90 in absolute and g91 when in incremental

Right now, your only choices are 4 or 5 digit precision. See Parameter 143.

Upcoming future versions will have a Wizard setting on the Control page to do just this. Should be out in the near future.
