I thought the same thing so I bypassed the BOB and fed the signal straight into the parallel port and got the same results.
Just to clarify, on the diagnostic screen the index light should blink on and off as the singal is pulsed, do I have push the spindle button for it blink?
At the moment my index light never blinks, if I toggle the active high/low on the input screen it will turn on or off but never blinks when I turn the spindle.

Yes I've been pressing the spindle button on the screen and even with the lathe spindle stopped the DRO always reads 67, when I turn off the spindle the DRO returns to zero ?

Thanks

I just completed a lathe conversion and the spindle index is giving me fits.
Ive got a CNC4PC C-3 spindle index card send the output to a Campbell Design BOB
The C-3 output is blinking when I turn the spindle but Mach doesn't appear to see it.
Ive attached the xml
Any advise would greatly appreciated

Thanks
Todd
