Copy your XML and keep it in a safe place Just copy the XML and all your settings will be moved to the new machine.

The shield should go to ground and the two others should be hooked to the common and Input pin.

I was thinking DRO and typed LED Sorry about that... it needs to be an DRO for the Max F that you would like to have.

you can pick any input pin and set the pin to the "probe" pin... as long as you do that you will be good to go

All you have to do is hook it up like it was a limit switch   Under the ports and pins you need to sett the probe to the correct port and pin. Hope that helps

You can set the pins to whatever you like (in the range that is valid) You can only use pins 1-9,14,16,17 for the outputs and 10-13,15 for inputs. They are all settable under the ports and pins. Please check out the manual it is VERY good.

You need to add an LED with an OEM code for the DRO. The OEM code should be 1000 to 1250, I will put the value in the Macropump. See if you can add it to the screen set.

Chuck what I did was to Sum two vectors with the distance formula. This is how the formula works (XVel^2 + YVel^2)^.5 = MixVel

Are you looking for the pinout? What point are you at?

Sid this is a simple change but I am going to have to make a new screen set where you have a place to set the value... I will post a new set and Macro pump in the next few days.
