+=== Setting up a waterjet system ===
+Certain CAM software packages can automatically insert necessary waterjet M-codes at some desired distance from the corners to properly accelerate and decelerate the machine. These M-codes are M64/M65, as well as M164/M165 - the first two turn a specified output on/off on the fly without stopping (using the special FlyCut license that we provide), while M164/M165 are reserved for controlling the PWM output.
+Some profiles within myCNC software (such as X1366P) contain a Software PLC procedure (WATERJET_SLOWSPEED) that works by monitoring the state of the output that the above codes toggle on and off:
+<code C> main()
+{
+ a0=gvarget(7184)&(1<<10);
+do{
+a1=gvarget(7184)&(1<<10);
+if (a0!=a1)
+{
+ a0=a1;
+ if (a0==0) //normal speed
+  {
+   gvarset(9379,0);
+  }else //slow speed
+  {
+    gvarset(9379,1);
+  };
+};
+}while(1);
+};
+</code>
+The above software PLC monitors the state of the desired output and switches the state of the global variable #9379. Writing "1" to this global variable results in a timer being started in the myCNC system, allowing the software, with the help of "Overspeed %" value, to smoothly reduce/increase the speed while passing a corner.
+As mentioned before, this functionality requires a FlyCut license, which is available to purchase on request.
