Is there a way to see total runtime of a project. It always resets when complete or when there is a tool change. I would like to know the project runtime in order to adjust time multiplier in Aspire.

Mine doesn’t reset when complete. It goes away when I unload the Gcode or start it again, but if I just leave it after its done, the total execution time is displayed.

Get one of those vibration timers and stick it on your spindle. At least you will know the runtime of the spindle.

Do you know if there is a setting somewhere that I need to change. I’ll do a little research and see if I can find something.
