Hello, again,

i) In previous "external pause/resume.." program. There are "addf and2.0 servo-thread etc," can it be changed to base-thread, what will be the effect on the response time then?

ii) I also tested the feed-hold function by external button. It works. Which response time are faster when comparing it with the previous program of "pause/resume.."?

ii) I have another special function want to implement. The re-wind, that is, something like re-wind a video tape. I read through the manual and don't find it. Can it be achieved by write a program or will it be included in future...

Thanks,

If a component function states "requires a floating-point thread" it can not be used in the base thread. The best place to look at the components is the online html docs .

LinuxCNC does not rewind.

MOTION runs in the servo thread, so there is no point updating the inputs to it any faster.
The servo thread runs 1000 times a second. How far does the machine move in 1mS?

Sorry, there is no rewind in LinuxCNC. It is quite likely to appear in the next major version but I wouldn't rely on that.
