I use question's # 141, 142, and 144 in the machine define to get the time as close as possible to the machine. #144 is the major adjusting factor for our pallet changing machines. We had to do a little stop watch timing and find the right percentage but we got it dialed in pretty close. Hope this help's. Good luck. Jeremy

I went into the SMF editor and changing some of the settings do not change time on the code. In the SC Code Generation Guide in the Template word reference section there is #TIME I am wondering how you can either add all the #TLTIME or add the #TIME to the JOS(nc_runtime) to get a more accurate reflection on actual runtimes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
