Toons and Router,

DSP is a function of the Galil card. If it has it, it has it. I don't believe that this turns on and off with software. The comparison chart is pointing out that the difference between the CNC lite and CNC professional is that the latter has look ahead.

32 bit DSP based microprocessor motion card available capable of 62.5 millionths of a second servo update times per axis & feed rates up to 122,000 IPM
This is followed by a Yes in every column.


Dynamic look ahead with DSP buffering for extremely fast G code throughput. Look ahead your entire program length
This is followed by a Yes only in CNC professional. This does not mean that DSP has been disabled in the rest!


RE: up front cost: I can't see any other state of the art controller package costing less than CNC Professional. Sure, its not cheap cheap, but nothing worth having is.

Anyways, I don't see the point in griping that CNClite doesn't do everything that CNC Professional can do. Full program look ahead is a major feature worth charging something extra for, IMO.

Some simpler applications do exist where the users would not be making good use of CNCProfessional features. Otherwise, if you want all the features, you have to buy the big package. Seems like a common choice we have to make whenever we buy something.

BTW, if you do more than one CAMsoft retrofit, the next time around is much less expensive.

Not to name names, but let us say to Mr. TOON and Mr. ROUTER, this is un-called for. We know that TOON and ROUTER are both Centroid competitors of CamSoft writing from the same company concealed behind hidden identities.

Truly trying to bad mouth a competitor as a factious user is getting pretty low. You don't see us making any comments about your products.

Mis-leading the readers of CNC Zone for personal gain is no wonder the internet is a poor source for good information. It is just very sad and shows un-professional company behavior that someone would want to compete this way.

I will definitly agree if this is the case!

But I must add that I think it is pretty low for a company to bypass their area repersenative on a second sell to a previous customer.

By the way CamSoft we gave up on the GAUGE command and used the BAR command instead.

Thanks.

Dear Hillbilly,

We do want to say thanks for the support, but since you began writing in CNC Zone you have been our competitor too, selling Max NC and it shows...

We do know who you are and we want you to take notice that all of this time we haven't said anything derogatory about your company or even gave your company name, even though all the things you've wrote. Not because we believe they are correct, but because it's just not the right thing to do. People are turned off by companies that bad mouth their competitors.

Please understand that we did call you and give you first chance at this job. You were the one that gave permission to our VP to pass, because your company was low on funds. We did make a honest effort to include you.

If you ever want to talk about it further, you are more than welcomed to call here anytime.
