proma thc - mach 3 help

Post by bocco »

I'm pretty new to cnc plasma. We've got the proma thc hooked up in mach3 but can't seem to get to a thc screen. Some of the videos I've watched show a box for the thc on the mach3 screen...anyone help me find out how to show it??? thanks

You have to change you screen set to "plasma"

Here are some of the things I found with Mach 3 click on Mach 3 loader and click on plasma. This will bring up a screen with the THC in the lower middle. The THC Min needs to set at 0.0 then click on reset and THC buttom to turn it on.
I was running the test on the proma and it only went up after the reset it functioned correctly.
