Title: DRO display wrong in diag. screen only
Post by: jeeplogic on April 09, 2010, 10:34:07 AM

When I am in the run program, MDI, Tool Path and settings screen the DRO is correct for the appropriate axis. (x=x, y=y, z=z)  In the diagnostic screen movement in X axis shows up show up as movement in the A axis DRO is this a glitch or is there a place to assign axis in the diagnostic screen only.
Thanks for helping
Greg

It sounds like it may be a screen problem, are you using the standard screen?

no I am using plug-ins from CandCNC for custom screens. Don't know why that would make a difference.

The screenset is likely to have the wrong oem code assigned to the DRO, if you either tell me where to download the screenset or attach it here I will have a look.

Try loading this one, they had X DRO as C and A DRO as X.

Hood I may have spoke to soon, I first loaded it in my test mach 3 on my lap top. When I loaded on the control computer in the shop I noticed that the velocity still shows up in A but the DRO displays in X correctly. thank you so much for your help.

Just to be clear, you are seeing the Velocity in the A  DRO? by Velocity are you meaning feedrate? And this is on the Diagnostics page?

yes, the feed rate for the x is showing up in a, but only in the diagnostic screen

Ah Ok I see that there are Velocity DROs on that screenset. I only changed the position DROs, hang on a few mins and I will look and correct the Velocity ones.
