In the newest version of PP (2.4.2) when running the lathe, I now have some details over in the right window showing M30 A:xxxx B:xxxx. Appears that every time the program finishes it adds to the counter.

How do I rest this or change the numbers for A & B. It has the same thing for M99 A & B.

Thanks,

Found it on page 3 of the PDF notes. It came out with 2.4.0

I wish it had a way to "adjust" it. Say you are on part 34 and it messes up. Your only option is to reset it.

The documentation goes on to say:

To change a counter value explicitly, use a G10 command: G10 L99 P~ Q~
l P~ selects the cycle counter to change. Use any of the values detailed in the following table.
Cycle Counter P~
M30 A 0
M30 B 1
M99 A 2
M99 B 3
l Q~ specifies the value to set the cycle counter. If Q~ is omitted, the cycle counter is incremented by 1.
For example, if you program G10 L99 P2, the M99 A cycle counter increments by 1

It seems that, with G10, you can set it to whatever you want.

Yep, it works. Just dialed it in. Will have to create a cheat sheet for this but a good feature.

I was reading that they increased the rapids speed for lathe with this upgrade.
I noticed the rapids on the 24r also changed or are displaying a different value anyway. Now it goes over 260 and before it was little over 200 . This was not detailed in release notes so I don't know if it was intended or not.

Sorry, this was an incorrect observation! I was looking at feed rate displayed! When x and y are both traveling at max rate. The combined axis speed is higher then the maximum speed of just one axis. Duh
