We bought a used 2006 alpha prs 4x8 CNC machine. Im guessing it uses a version SB3 from that time period.
\We moved it from the original company working correctly according to the tech that helped us.
My shop bot 3 software doesnt calculate jog correctly. After an afternoon of testing by the machines original operator he concluded if the SB3 software gets a job command in the g code to move 8 inches it moves 3.41. Which is the distance of 8 mm not inches.
When given a manual input signal to " move " or in a g code it works fine. When given a manual or g code signal to " jog " it seems to move in MM not the inches of the g code.
The tech or myself have never even heard of this, has anyone experienced anything like this ?

The usual cause of multiple copies of the same post are:
The image below shows the 3 posts. The red circled on is this post. The blue is my other "triple post" notification and the yellow high-lighted one is the one I hope people will reply to just to keep everything in one place.
- double-clicking on the "Submit" button
- clicking on the "Submit" button but things seem to be taking too long so you click on the button again thinking that you haven't in the firt place
