Guys,
Experimenting, my C axis is in units of 0.001 degrees. To get 90 degrees, I enter C90000. This is a Fanuc 18i-TB controller. Is there a factor someplace that affects that? Even the machine's manual seems to imply it's supposed to work normally (1 = 1 degree, not 0.001)... but then it's extremely slim on the examples and there's not a single non-zero 'C' value anywhere. (they're using H in all the non-zero positioning... which is 1 = 1 degree, but the machine required H90000, etc)
I've got a similar problem with G4 dwell. The manual has samples showing G4X1 which appears to be a dwell for 1 second. However, it's off by 1000 as well. G4X1000 is required to get a 1 second delay. U instead of X is the same factor.
