Cut Recovery Not Consistently Triggering

I run plasmac with a fiber laser now and while I have made a few modifications to the settings, the underlying plasmac component runs the same as it did with a plasma cutter. My THC is tracking to a capacitance value instead of voltage, which goes to 0 when the nozzle touches material (mainly tip-ups) during any movement. This usually leads me to needing to a do a reverse jog sequence and restart the cut - which works well.

The issue I am having is that the cut recovery panel is not consistently being enabled when paused_motion (plasmac state 19) is triggered. I can't narrow down why cut recovery is able to be used sometimes and not others. I have a component that monitors my capacitance (nozzle to work distance) and will pause the program if it goes below a threshold, or actually touches the nozzle to the work piece which prevents a crash.

To get cut recovery and reverse run to work, I usually (>90%) have to click the "REV" button, click Resume, click Pause, click "REV" again, click Resume, and then the "REV" button actually will back up the program. Other than doing this sequence, the "REV" button doesn't do anything, even while being in plasmac state 19.

I have tested cut recovery with both my custom component that will pause the program, as well as manual pausing and it doesn't make a difference for when cut recovery is not bugged.

Right, my bad. I'm on QtPlasmaC v2.10-008.046

My component issues an ohmic-probe signal which plasmac will then pause the program, and sometimes the "Pause" button is still shown instead of what should be a "Resume" button, so maybe that has something to do with it. However, this is not the only case when the cut recovery panel doesn't work. If I hit Pause (spacebar) manually during a cut, it is not guaranteed to have cut recovery work appropriately still.

I could try instead linking the nozzle short condition to the program-pause signal and see if that helps with the timing aspect.
