Z1.25

Hi,

Please check the decimal symbol under the control panel's Regional and Language settings. It sounds like your computer is probably set to use a comma "," instead of a decimal point ".". NCPlot should not be bothered by this, but I would like to know if this is the problem so I can fix it. Try changing it to a decimal point "." and see if this fixes the problem.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Did you just start having this problem? Was it working before?

Scott

Yes I had this problem before.

What version of NCPlot are you using?

version 2.02 but I had this problem with last version of NCPlot.

What did you find when you checked your computers language settings? Is your computer set to use commas "," as the decimal character?

I changed comma for a decimal point

This is definately some kind of problem in NCPlot. It should not matter what the decimal character is set to, but it does seem to be causing a problem. I'll look into it.

Thanks,
Scott

When I read this bloc:
G98G84Z-5.523R.75

I look on variables display and I read this:

5101 = -5. (must be -5.523)
5102 = 0 (must be .75)
