    Silly question, screen is reporting mm need inches

    Might be missing something in the documentation but my control is currently reporting everything in mm and I'd like to switch over. This is consistent between reboots not something I did. must be a parameter.

    There is a parameter. If I recall, its under param>level>proto3>3>power or similar. Something like startup units. Mine was inches, but I work in mm.


    Be very careful in there, lots of setting that can make a mess of your machine. Dont change a setting unless you know what it's for.

    Save your parameters before you make changes!

    Dumped them to disk, thanks. I'll worry about tweaking that one thing later, easy enough to reset by hand for now.

    Need to replace the air filter thats on it, its leaking, but working well enough to test out tool changes.

    Hi Yugami, Yes the power parameter Boot to English or Metric. set to English. you can also do a G20 in MDI but that is not permanent like the power parameter.

    Here is the ONLY silly question I can get. It is 5 OClock on a Friday and the work is done. Hey Bob, would you like a barley pop. Now that's SILLY. ;-)
