When the Setting Editor is opened, look for Sheffield

Scroll down you will see 'Circular Movement' and set it to be " TRUE ", then save the settings.

  • We have one SMP400 and one MP35. The difference in speed of execution and smoothness of movement is dramatic. The MP35 not only will not support circular moves but it communicates at a much slower baud rate so it pauses slightly before EVERY movement. AND the top speed is slower so every program automatically runs at 2/3 speed! I'm sure they thought they were saving money by only upgrading one machine and I'm also sure that we have paid for the upgrade several times over in lost productivity as a result.
