92' 88HS - actual feed/speed display?

[esolatimore]

I have a 92' 3016 with the 88HS control - Is there no way to get the actual rpm and feed rates to display?

My 94 always keeps a header above the program that is running.
The header shows all the currently active modal commands, which includes the S and F values as they are set in that section of the program.
If your machine is calibrated correctly, they are right.

The only way to have the actual rpm and feed rates plus others to display is to upgrade to the dash 5 system.

correct, however if you are using the feed/speed pots to adjust and tune in, it doesn't even display an override percentage so you have to guess how much override you are putting on and do the calculation before going back and editing the program for final version.

ahha - I see where you are going with that.
yes I agree, you have to estimate and re-program.
