I don't have a machine hooked up yet, but should n't I be able to see a change in reading of the DRO?  I'm going through the download/install/configure manual and don't see anything telling me I'm doing something incorrectly??  Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rooney

Figured it out( Or did I?) by accident.   I don't think that jog was turned off.  I wasn't properly configured Smiley(watched the video instead of following the manual) .....or the multiple times (3) of re-installing Mach3 fixed  my problem?Huh  Whatever...I can jog and run a program with nothing connected yet.  Stay tuned for more questions stemming from inexperience.

Thanks, Hood!
