Hi Guys
I'm new to using Mach 4, I have used Mach 3 pretty extensively in the past. I have a client who recently had his computer crash and required a new one. Installed Win10 and Mach 4, and asked me to help him set it up.
The machine has an ESS, it installed and is working properly. I went through and configured everything correctly (I hope), set all the stuff in ESS setup, and Mach 4 setup. At least I thought so. In the Mach 4 Motor setup routine, all of the configurations settings are greyed out and cannot be edited, except for the one delay box. I have the motor signals set up correctly as far as pins and outputs in the ESS, but no matter what I do I can't get the motor parameters to edit. There doesn't seem to be any way to set the motor outputs in Mach 4, only in the ESS configuration. What am I missing here?
Any ideas?

Have you tried clicking on the motor 0 and 1 and 2 on the right side of the motor configuration tab.
They are grayed out until you click.

Yeah, I got it. I thought you had to click the check box beside the motor label to edit the fields instead of the label itself.
Like Mach3, nothing is intuitive in this software.
