Version 3.8.12 -- MaintenanceUpdate (FIRMWARE UPDATE REQUIRED; included) 1/24/14
- [UR] (Reset Settings) no longer showing option to deleteSbSys.Log in ; makes it more permanent; delete
from C:ProgramDataShopBotShopBot 3
- [UR] fixed problem with running from mm for some settings files;now stays in mm if called from mm
- Updated math precision to prevent rounding error causing shift toslow speed in some long files
- In Keypad, Fixed Distance Moves now supported for Rotary (deg)Axes. NOTE! to avoid needing to input a
separate distance for just for the rotary axis: if you are ininches, rotation will be X10 the inch
distance in degrees; if you are in mm, rotation will be X0.10 mmdistance in degrees
- In Keypad, Memorized location move pull-up warning improved incomparing current Z/A location
- In Keypad, (a new) Memorized locations will be converted tocurrent units before the move if units do not
match the recorded value. E.g. a location recorded as 2,1 in inches,will send tool to 50.8, 25.4 if
the software is in mm mode. (You need to re-input older locationsfor this fuctionality to take effect.)
- Fixed inconsistencies in (rarely-used) positive plunge system; weonly recommend positive plunge for special
situations
- Improved spindle shut-down if communications lost
- In C2 (Z-zero) routine; there is no longer an automatic pull upto Safe-Z height before touching off on the
plate. The assumption being that you could not run the routine ifyou weren't above the plate. (The pull-up
still occurs after each touch-off on the plate. Use [VC] to reducethe Safe-A pull-up if you do not want to
pull up as high. The default value is 1.0inches/25.4mm for mosttools, .5in/12.7mm for Desktops and
Handibot.)
