Changing Digital Outputs without Interrupting Motion

Hello

I'm using M64 P2 and M65 P2 to turn on and off the corresponding digital outputs. However, doing so interrupts the motion and motion smoothing. Here's a simplified example:

G01 X0 F100
G01 X5
M64 P2
G01 X20

Without the M64 code the EMC will smooth through the X5 operation and basically go straight to X20. However, with the M64 code the X axis comes to a complete stop at X5 before actuating the P2 and continuing the movement. Is there a setting that I'm missing or a better way to actuate the digital outs?

Of course... I'll give that a try and report back.

Just be aware that M62 and M63 are not actioned unless they are followed by a move. (as described in the docs, but it bears repeating).

Yeah, I read that, this is why we decided to use M64/M65 before and ruled out M62/M63. But, our workaround is to send a G01 command directly after every digital output command. That keeps our motion up.

I think that the trick is to use M62 / M63 in the motion code, then use M64 / M65 if anything needs to be turned off at the end after all motion has finished.
