Hi,

I started playing with MachScreen, and can get the DRO, reset etc to show up. When I load in the screen in Mach, and I do reset, I can enter X1.0 and see the DRO respond. I cannot, however, get the arrow keys or number keypad to make the DRO move.

I assume I am doing something simple wrong here?

Regards,

Geo

You need a jog on/off button in order to be able to jog.

Thanks Gerry, that worked.

Just for completeness:

For Reset Button, I used function "Std Reset", Standard Code 21. Also used LED function "Reset LED", OEM-Code 800.

For Jog Button, I used function "OEM Jog Mode Toggle, Standard Code 103. LED function "Jogging Enabled LED", OEM-Code 83.

Regards,

Geo

Sounds like you're using MachScreen? I use Screen4, which uses different terms. In Screen4 it's just called Reset. THE LED is 800.

Jog is 103 with LED 83.
