Problem in Spindle Speed readout???

The computer on my lathe crashed (disk drive went south), so I installed a new computer with EMC2-2.4.6.
I was having trouble getting my old config to work, so I used stepconf to generate a new config. I checked the
box to generate a new custom pyvcp panel. I got a spindle speed indicator (which was what I wanted).
However, when I ran the lathe there was no apparent reading in the spindle speed. So after a lot of work,
I discovered that the encoder was working fine, and everything up to the pyvcp display was working.
Below is the custom_postgui.hal file text.
I discovered that setp scale.0.gain was set to 1/60 (.01667) rather than 60. When I changed the value everything worked.
My question is did I do something to cause stepconf to calculate the wrong value or is there a bug in stepconf related
to the calculations for the spindle speed setup?

####custom_postgui.hal
# Include your customized HAL commands here
# The commands in this file are run after the AXIS GUI (including PyVCP panel) starts

# **** Setup of spindle speed display using pyvcp -START ****
# **** Use ACTUAL spindle velocity from spindle encoder
# **** spindle-velocity bounces around so we filter it with lowpass
# **** spindle-velocity is signed so we use absolute compoent to remove sign
# **** ACTUAL velocity is in RPS not RPM so we scale it.

#setp scale.0.gain .01667 ( I replaced this line with the following line)
setp scale.0.gain 60
setp lowpass.0.gain 0.01
net spindle-velocity => lowpass.0.in
net spindle-rps-filtered <= lowpass.0.out
net spindle-rps-filtered => abs.0.in
net absolute-spindle-vel <= abs.0.out => scale.0.in
net scaled-spindle-vel <= scale.0.out => pyvcp.spindle-speed

This is a bug. It's fixed in EMC 2.5.
Strangely you are the first report I remember of anyone complaining.
Thanks for the report and solution

If there ever is a 2.4.7 its fixed there too now.

Chris,

Thanks for fixing it in advance of report. You guys are good!!!
