JeffLowe Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The available memory for lookahead is 16777216 bytes. Is there a way to increase this? From testing I have determined that each segment in the special lookahead takes 40 bytes base + 16 addition bytes for each axis defined in the CS. In addition, to use the lookahead time position reporting requires an additional 288 bytes for each buffered point. Apparently all 18 logical axes (a,b,c... yy,zz) are used in this buffer. Since my application will never use these double lettered axes (aa,bb,cc etc,) is there a way to disable them and reduce the memory requirements for TBuf to 144 bytes/lookahead point? The Cutter Comp buffer is also a little heavy handed at 880 bytes/point, but I don't see needing more than 7 or 8 out of plane segments for my applications and can live with this.

curtwilson Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The lookahead buffer size can be changed as part of the project properties window in the IDE. This requires the V1.5 IDE that was released this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
