+ | The screen settings allow the user to edit the appearance of myCNC software. The following settings can be edited: | ||
+ | * **Language** can be switched by inputting the corresponding two-letter acronym (**en** for English, **ru** for Russian, **es** for Spanish, **pl** for Polish). More languages will be added to myCNC software in the near future, and if a native speaker desires to aid the localization process, the myCNC team will provide the user with the myCNC translation .xls file | ||

+ | * Button size | ||
+ | * Button action to run a specific macro when the button is clicked | ||
+ | * Timeout to hide the popup window (in seconds) | ||
+ | * Variable number to display (usually in footer, through [%d]) - useful to display a changing variable, like time in seconds, etc. | ||
+ | * Coefficient K to multiply the variable by. Useful to convert tiny incremental changes (such as fractions of a second) or large rapidly changing numbers into numbers that can be easily read by the user. | ||

+ | The plasma settings screen allows the user to select the following: | ||
+ | * Current control. Current control can be chosen between Control through DAC, PWM, Modbus or Hypertherm Serial Interface. These are all mutually exclusive - only one can be chosen at a time. | ||
+ | * Control through DAC is the option mostly used for simple plasma cutting machines. The DAC ratio allows the user to set the ratio to convert the value of the current. | ||
+ | * Control through PWM is using the Pulse Width Modulation. It is a popular choice for current control on plasma machines. The PWM ratio allows the user to set the software ratio, similar to the DAC ratio. | ||
+ | * Modbus control allows for electronic control of the current. The following can be specified: | ||
+ | * Modbus Address to specify the address of the device the controller will be communicating with | ||
+ | * The register that will be monitored | ||
+ | * ON/OFF values | ||
+ | * Modbus ratio for the current | ||
+ | * The controller the power source is connected to. Usually, the power source is connected to the main controller, however, on large machines it is sometimes necessary to have a Slave Controller to perform the technology PLC commands. | ||
+ | * Hypertherm Serial interface is similar to the Modbus control option. The user is able to specify where the interface is connected: the controller (default) or the host PC. The Hypertherm Communication and Hypertherm Diagnostics pages are used if the Hypertherm Serial Interface is chosen for current control. | ||
+ | * Process current (amps) which specifies the current for the machine | ||
+ | * Kerf compensation method | ||
+ | * Auto Gas Console settings. myCNC software allows for gas control using the software PLC commands rather than through the machine. This setting is tailored to the specific customer. If you are interested in the Auto Gas Console settings tailored for your specific needs, please contact the myCNC team through the [[https:// | ||
