Problem with Power Scale

[Stroonzo (Jeff)]

Under shape properties what is the power scale used for

Power Scale is done using the commands that the DSP controllers use for ramp mode and grayscale output, so it’s explicitly limited to being a percentage of the value between min & max power. I could, conceivably, have a power override, but there would be pretty rigid limits on the usage because of the way the DSP controllers work. I can change power for an entire set of cuts, for example, but not mid-way through a cut like I can with power scaling. With power scale, you can do this: [image] T…

Note: Power Scale… is … a percentage of the value between min & max power.

Under shape properties what is the power scale used for

In math, it’s this: Min + (Max - Min) * PowerScale And it’s also subject to the ‘Start Speed’ issue, so if you’re cutting at or below the start speed, it’s only using Min Power. The simplest way to think of it is that Power Scale is a slider / knob that goes from Min Power to Max Power as the Power Scale moves from 0 to 100.

I recommend reading the final post in that thread as well. There is a great table.
