Subject: cycle time in minutes? feed override?
is there a setting to swap cycle time to minutes instead of seconds only?

when I adjust my feed override to something and hit apply, it seems to not apply until it starts a new line of code or something? the spindle speed adjust instantly.
not critical but would like to know what it is doing.
thanks matt

Hi Matt,

Do you mean the Run time in the title bar?  No.   I suppose we we could change the format to Hours:Minutes:Seconds.

Regarding Feed rate changes:  The Trajectory Planning may look ahead many GCode lines, plans the trajectory, and downloads the motion from the PC to KFLOP ahead of time.  This is necessary because the PC and Windows sometimes becomes busy for a few moments.  This makes it very difficult to have instant feed rate changes.  There is a setting in KMotionCNC |Tool Setup | Trajectory Planner to specify how much motion is buffered in KFLOP.  Reducing this time will make feed rate changes more responsive.  However if you make this too small and your PC becomes busy for too long then KFLOP will run out of motion data and stall.

HTH

everyone else likes seconds? lol
I would like to get minutes some day but this is not anything pressing.

I got my trajectory planner at 5 sec now and I just wanted to make sure nothing was set bad or something to make it delay the feed over ride.

thanks again matt
