    Haas high speed machining hsm

    guys today I've turned on hsm option, but next to it is the "T" letter, does it mean the parameter is in test mode because I've found out online that this option came free for 100 hours of use for some people.
    ive got 2016 haas vf2 which is paid and unlocked (no activation codes necessary each month).
    am i free to use it unlimited or is it 100 hours and bye-bye?

    The letter T stands for time trial. what I do is turn it on use it then turn it off when i don't need it. I've used the scaling and rotation for months because i just use it for a few min or hrs then turn it back off. I actually used the macro trial. wrote the simple prog. then turned it off and it still works three months later. ha ha Haas

    I don't think there is an hour counter anywhere, it just shows a "T" if you have time left, but no indication of the exact amount of time. that's pretty much how all the software options work, for anything that is marked as a trial in your parameters page. If you were to forget about the option and leave it on, it'll count down and next thing you konw it'll be gone.

    You keep a check on the time you turn it on/off, write it down

    I will give Haas credit, one nice addition to the NG control is that it keeps track of trial option time and counts it down for you.

    I think it is on some of the pre new generation control, I never tried them I brought the important extras so never turned them on, just put the code in
