setp plasmac.probe-final-speed / changing probe up speed in connections.hal

Hello everyone,
according to linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/plasma/plasmac-user-guide.html

It is possible to increase this speed by up to a factor of 10 by adding the following line to your <machine_name>_connections.hal file:

setp plasmac.probe-final-speed n

gives this error

twopass:found ./plasma_connections.hal
twopass: Error in file ./plasma_connections.hal:
setting parameter 'plasmac.probe-final-speed' to '5'
parameter or pin 'plasmac.probe-final-speed' not found

any suggestions?

machine is working and cutting with no errors

Best Ben

[strike]I am working on proof reading/updating the user guide. I will make sure to note the change. Thanks for pointing it out![/strike]

EDIT: Actually plasmac.probe-final-speed should be correct... What version of PlasmaC are you on? This was a feature that was recently added, and if you are before v0.170, that is the problem.

ahh...ok, my version acc.to .ini 0.144. little scared to upgrade and maybe have to start from scratch

How did you install LinuxCNC?
If it is a buildbot install, in aterminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

thanks tommy ill try that out

That is only the last major update, if you look at the bottom of the config panel next to the buttons it should show the version.
