Title: MPG dro
Post by: MHJ on July 25, 2010, 07:48:25 AM

Hello!
I'm running a fully licenced Version R3.042.040 Mach3 Turn and 2 MPG's.
In the diagnostics screen I can reset MPG #1 to zero by clicking on it, typing 0 and it resets to 0
Repeating that procedure for MPG #2 does not reset the dro to zero.
Anybody got any idea of why?

Regards,
John.

John,
I am still using an earlier version of turn and use two mpg's just for positioning and sometimes for machining.
You should be able to just click the Zero when in Program or Part coordinates. Now if your in Machine coord you need to
click the Zero World button as that will remove any work offsets.

Thank you Rich.

I've tried that but the MPG dro's don't reset.  I suppose that resetting MPG 2 must not be supported by Mach3.
Anyway, I now have further bother with the MPG's which I've posted in a new topic "MPG's not working"

Regards,
John.
