Hello.  I came across this forum trying to figure out the problem im having with my smooth stepper.   Im setting up a taig micro mill dsls 3000 unit for a customer to rework some parts on site.
I got everything working except one little issue.   When first started up i go to run the program and i get a smooth stepper error (see image below).   This only occurs on the first attempt to
run the program.  Once the alarms are cleared it will run without hiccup.   Problem for me is when this happens the machine seems to jump causing the x and y zero to be off for my fixture offset.
Its not a big deal to redo the zeros but the customer is not gonna want to have to do that.   I tried with the machine turned all the way off and same result just running in mach.   
error message says possibly change the timeout setting but was hoping for a little help before i try that.  Hopefully i explained the problem i am having well.   





thanks in advance
mike

It sounds like your configuration might not be quite right.

First take a look at: http://www.soigeneris.com/Document/Installing_and_Configuring_the_SmoothStepper.pdf

If you have a large file it might also be a tool path display issue, see: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,20588.0.html.
