Edit: The below text gives background but the initial question is answered. Please consider as a feature request adding real time feed and plunge rates to the job progress screen in CM 4.
In Carbide Motion 4, I really like the ability to adjust feed rates either up or down by 10%. However, when making those adjustments repeatedly, are they 10% adjustments always from the initial feed, or from the last value. I’m assuming its from the initial feed rate always.
An example:
Let’s say I run some G-code setup for 100 IPM feed. If I decrease by 10%, I’m now at 90 IPM feed. But if I decrease by 10% again, did I decrease my rate by 9 (10% of 90) or 10 (10% of 100 IPM). So am I at 81 or 80 IPM?In the greater scheme of things I don’t think it matters, but I am curious. Mainly because I would like to accurately record my feed rates that work; If I find that an initial rate is too high / low, I would like to know what feed rate I ended up with. Perhaps a simple feature request for future iterations of CM4 would be to show what the current feed / plunge rate is at any given time in the job progress window.
