Steve, This does sound like a precision problem. Smartcam doesn't truncate, but it certainly can be rounding to 3 places. If you need 4 place output (and you should check your control manual to confirm) you will have to adjust the precision of the output in the .smf file. I don't have a manual handy but you'll have to adjust your output format for your positioning words to something like D3.4, you'll probably see it currently set to D4.3. Also if you do that you should adjust the smallest machine increment question to .0001 from .001.
Perhaps John Gent can dig up the question #'s for you. --gregg Steve Buck wrote: > I wrote a message yesterday about a post problem which I will repost > below.
