In the material number I select in the G-code and manually before the cut it is 0.2.
Which I assume is 0.2 seconds. That should be way before the last part of the cut I was making.

Ok I remove the temp entries from the material list and the error no longer shows at start up.
Tommy I looked for the delay in the THC and it was set to 1.5 I changed it to .2 now if you do not have "Auto Active" on it will show. But not if "Auto Active" is on see screen shots.
Something else I found after running QTOlasmaC-Material to convert SheetCam tool list to be used in QTPlasmaC none of the needed entries are converted it just shows 000 (Pierce height, Cut height, cut volts, and feed rate) see below. If you look at the list the metric info is there but no the English values as shown below???? Even though I use English in SheetCam the tool list is recorded in Metric, the conversion software gives the option to convert either using a check box. Maybe I needed to use the Metric conversion not the English.
I have since manually added the needed info to the material list. I have video showing another thing with the material list uploaded to the Google Drive, when it clears I will send a link to you.
Here is a config dump from today

All this is for PlasmaC, i still use PlasmaC on production machines, will have to give another try to Qt version soon.
But i do believe some Hypertherms will cause issues till the current limiting reaches the setpoint.
Had a MAX40 in use at a client that would wait from torch on relay switching to actually striking an arc from 1 to 7 seconds, depending on how it felt at every start!

Strange, i have an old Cebora 50A with a missing winding (well i cut it out as it was burned, got it for free) so it does 27A now, HF/HV pilot start, and a few days back bought a new Kzubr 60A inverter plasma, also HF/HV pilot arc, for both i have 0.1 for THC delay, and it works just fine.I think that you would need a very good quality plasma power supply to use 0.2 second THC Delay, I found with my Hypertherm that 0.5 was the minimum safe value I could consistently use.

Could you post your SheetCam tool list.Something else I found after running QTOlasmaC-Material to convert SheetCam tool list to be used in QTPlasmaC none of the needed entries are converted it just shows 000
That is impressive.i have an old Cebora 50A with a missing winding (well i cut it out as it was burned, got it for free) so it does 27A now, HF/HV pilot start, and a few days back bought a new Kzubr 60A inverter plasma, also HF/HV pilot arc, for both i have 0.1 for THC delay, and it works just fine.
I use Auto Activate now and it works great, no guesswork.But i do believe some Hypertherms will cause issues till the current limiting reaches the setpoint.
Have you tried plasmac2?All this is for PlasmaC, i still use PlasmaC on production machines, will have to give another try to Qt version soon.
It is just letting you know who is the boss.Had a MAX40 in use at a client that would wait from torch on relay switching to actually striking an arc from 1 to 7 seconds, depending on how it felt at every start!

He had already 2 of them burn one winding from power surges, he is out of town so power fluctuates a lot, a few days back i wired in a Hypertherm Powermax 1250 instead. Also has a Cebora 120A wired to the same machine so he can switch as he needs between them.
Still uses the toma_thc config, did not want to switch to PlasmaC despite me insisting.
Sorry for hijacking the thread ACourtJester.

I have to shamefully admit that i forgot about it, even more shameful about 5-6 months back i did remember and decided to have a look at it when i get home, then forgot.Have you tried plasmac2?
Not anymoreIt is just letting you know who is the boss.
