HAAS scaling bug

[gar]

Yesterday my son was trying to load a scale factor. VF0 year 2000, but it does have a newer processor board and software.

In the program:

G51 P0.125 works correctly, and scales to 1/8 size.

However,

#104 = 0.125
G51 P#104 scales incorrectly

whereas

#104 = 125.0
G51 P#104 scales to 1/8 size.

When scaling is at a default value of 1.0 and you look at the content of #6071 you will see 1000.000 . Setting 71 is the current ratio value.

Thus, HAAS is inconsistent in processing the argument of P.

Also, note from the HAAS manual
