Frank,

Hit the F5 key, enter G61 and this will turn it off until a G64 is
issued either by doing it in MDI mode or if a G64 is in your code.
So if your CAM program does not put a G64 in the code you can
just do it in MDI mode. If you want it off all of the time, there is a
section of the INI file that will allow entering default G codes and
they will be issued at startup. This will turn it off for good UNLESS
your G code file issues a G64.

Also the higher your acceleration is, the less the rounding will be.
