Title: Lost my ability to select jog, step or MPG
Post by: ffulmer on September 04, 2007, 08:39:26 PM
I have lost my ability to use my keyboard for jogging, in fact I can’t switch between step and continues or MPG. I can not toggle between Jog and step nor do any of the indictors light up. It worked fine when I calibrated the machine, but since then it stopped working.  I had added the spindle and coolant start/stop function so I backed up and remove it and the pin outs but nothing changed. At this time I only have use of the job buttons on the screen in continues mode, which is impossible to move with any precision. Could I have turned something off?

Do you have jog, on/off turned off on the program run screen? Can you jog on that screen?

Where would you turn it on/off? I checked everywhere and can't find any such command. If I use the tab key the MPG screen comes up and I can move the tables useing the arrows on the MPG screen and I can change the per cent of speed, but other then that nothing else works.

On the program run screen, under tool info. See The screen shot.

You hit it right on the head. The answer was right in front of me, but for some reason I didn't see it. Thank you.
