To set up pendant: (those Generic Chinease 4 or 6 axis style pendants)

NOTE: Use the plugin at your OWN risk, you assume all liabilty for any use
of it at all, even installing it.

*	Make sure Mach3 is closed, then run the MPG4_6v3.m3p (double click on this it will install the plugin 	for you, (make a copy of it first, if want to keep a copy of the installer).
*	Open Mach3, and tick the enable for the MPG4_6v3 plugin.
*	Under Ports and Pins asign what ever Port or pin to these functions,
	UNLESS!!!! using a Pedant/BOB combination that already has those choosen for you,
	if so follow those assignments.
	
	Under Ports/Pins INPUTS:
	Select Axis X  		OEMTRIGGER1
	Select Axis Y  		OEMTRIGGER2
	Select Axis Z  		OEMTRIGGER3
	Select Axis A  		OEMTRIGGER4
	Step X1    			OEMTRIGGER5
	Step X10   			OEMTRIGGER6
	Step X100   		OEMTRIGGER7
	Pendant E-Stop  	OEMTRIGGER8 (assumes N/C)
	Select Axis B  		OEMTRIGGER9
	Select Axis C  		OEMTRIGGER10
	
	Under Ports/Pins OUTPUTS:
	MPG Jog "On" Led  	OUTPUT6 (led enable button light on pendant)
	
	Under Ports/Pins MPG:
	MPG 1 "A" and "B" go to what ever ports pins required.

*	You will need to set on the General Config page the 1st 3 step amounts, like:
	0.001 	(First step box, equates to pendant label X1)
	0.01	(Second step box, equates to pendant label X10)
	0.1		(Third step box, equates to pendant label X100)

*	Now close and re-open Mach3, goto the plugin Control menu drop down (to the right side of the applicaiton menu).
*	In the plugin menu drop down you will see: "MPG 4/6 axis.." click on it and the
	config dialog will appear.
*	First choose your pendant type, a 4 axis or 6 axis pendant.
*	Then below that choose axis 5 and 6 functions (if you have a six axis pendant).
	If you have 5 (FIVE) or more axis, then select Use 5 and 6 for jogging.
	If you have 4 or less axis, but want to use axis selections 5 and 6 for
	Feed Speed Over-ride and Spindle Speeed Over-ride respectively then check
	that one. NOTE: Max over-ride range for both are 50%-200%, in 4% increments.
*	The user can enable/disable the pendants estop function all together.
* 	You can also choose/or not, to have the pendant e-stop to be able to pull mach3 out of estop, if in estop, or not...
	WARNING/NOTE!!!!  IF you allow the pendant to pull Mach3 out of estop, when you
	turn on	mach3, and your e-stops are pulled out (including the pendant estop), them 
	mach3 comes up in a "Ready to Run" (not estopped) condition.
	
*	Close and restart, Mach3, your pendant is now functional for the configuration
	you have choosen.

NOTES:

*	When you move the axis selector off of the "OFF" position on the axis selector switch (and you holding in the pendant enable button). It automatically moves 
	mach3 into MPG mode and when in MPG mode, the enable LED turns ON (if it is wired
	up).
*	IF you have use 5&6 for FS/SSovr then when you move the selector to axis 5 or 6
	it automatically kicks Mach3 out of MPG movement mode, and switches it to cont.
	mode. The MPG will still control the FS/SS ovr amount.

*	when the axis selector is in the OFF position, OR the pendant enable button is NOT
	Pushed, then it kicks Mach into Continous, but you can manually click the Jog Mode
	button on the MPG fly out screen to select "Step" jog mode. It will only over-ride
	this if the enable button is pushed.
	
SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!

*	Any changes you make, to the plugin config dialog choices, once you OK the choice,
	(the dialog closes), you MUST, close and reboot Mach3!!!! For the changes to take
	effect!!!!
