DWC Fan Slider reacts faster than a macro?

fotomas

I have configured some LED lights to be powered via one of the heaters on my Duet 3 Mini 5+ (FW 3.3). The lights are controllable via a fanslider in the DWC.

config.g

;LED Lights
M950 F3 C"out1" Q500 									
M106 P3 C"LEDs" S1

I have two macros to turn them on/off:
LIGHTS ON.g

M106 P3 S1.0

LIGHTS OFF.g

M106 P3 S0.0

During a print fan slider changes are instantaneous but the macros takes a while.

What is the cause of this and can the macros be altered to have effect as fast as the fan slider?

Does the fan slider send another command than M106 or does macros have lower priority than single commands?

That may be due to the way that DWC is sending commands to the Duet versus the macro getting called.

How much delay are you seeing? How are you executing the macro?

It takes somewhere around 3 seconds.
I execute the macros by clicking buttons in the DWC.
