Cycle Counter Display

Issue #68 closed
Myles Metzler created an issue

Add some universal system for displaying a programs "cycle counter". This may would not be simple as the Watlow F4T/F4 do not allow access to this information natively.

It could be done on SCP-220/P300 controllers easily as they do supply the required information.

    Monitoring the cycle count was added to the RESTful api in v1.1(api version not firmware); it is now displayed on the monitor screen with firmware version 2.3.0

    Each supported controller behaves a little differently:

    • P300/SCP-220: Cycle counting is built into the controller; and is fully supported.
    • F4: Cycle counting is only tracked for the most recent jump step.
    • F4T: Cycle counting is not presented by the communications interface at all. In order to get around this the system estimates cycle counts by looking for the current program step to decrease and increments the current cycle count.
