Backlash is defined as the movement of the motor which may turn slightly before any actual axis movement is present (caused by gaps between parts). |

That way the system will invert movement in the negative direction to be registered as positive, and vice versa. |

- | * The pulse format can be chosen between pulse/dir or cw/ccw formats. The pulse/dir format has the step and direction inputs. Step input accepts a pulse signal which determines angle and speed of rotation. Direction input receives either high or low digital signal that regulates direction of rotation. The CW/CCW mode, on the other hand, has CW and CCW inputs. Pulse in these inputs determines whether the motor rotates clockwise or counter clockwise. This setting depends upon the hardware that the setup is using. | + | |

- | * IPG Laser Control: Deprecated, was used as laser control through UART2. If any users require this control, please contact myCNC Support. | + | |
- | * Modbus #2: Under development. The feature allows to use the controller as slave (rather than master), with gvariable commands being sent to it by some other device. | + | |
- | * Hypertherm Interface: Used for the HPR series Hypertherm machines, as those use a different protocol from Powermax/ | + | |
- | * Capacitive Height Sensor: Deprecated, was used on the machines running a capacitive height sensor which would transmit the height information to the controller through a digital (rather than analog) signal. | + | |
- | * Command buffer size is chosen between 8k and 16k. 16k is always chosen for newer firmware (after November 2015) and on all the newer boards. Only the ET1/ET3 boards with firmware which has not been updated use 8k. | + | |
- | * ET6-ET10 overspeed bugfix toggle - this setting is not useful for the newer boards, as those automatically transmit their firmware version to the myCNC program. Useful on older ET6/ET10 boards as the overspeed parameter was counted differently on those from the more recent ET3/ET7 boards. | + | |
