That worked great I now have a functioning table. I can now spend time tuning the THC. Thank you so much
for taking the time to help me when no one else would. I have only one more question it the THC button on Mach3 programs window
supposed come on/ off with the M10/M11 codes automatically or do I just click it on before running job?

Ok I tried the M3 and M5 in the MDI mode but nothing happens in the diagnostics page no Output 1 reaction. If I click the Torch On LED it does light up the Output 1.
I looked over the other post and went ahead and checked my profile M3 and M5 macros and the do have DoSpinCW() and DoSpinStop() in the correct profile.
I'm going to go ahead and send you my XML file and the manual for the THC . Thanks again for the helping me.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 won't fire torch on plasma table

Hi recently put together a 5x10 Swift cut table with Hypertherm Powermax 65 w/machine torch, ST-V3 interface, Floating Z, and a PriceCNC AVHC10 THC.  Software wise I've been using Emachine, Sheetcam and Mach3 software on Windows 7 desktop with DB25 port .The guy that I purchased some of the main components from of course said he would answer any questions I might have, dropped off the face of the planet. So here I am stuck. I have all the THC, post processor also by PriceCNC compatible with Mach3 and the floating Z, ports, pins everything setup, but can't get the torch to fire on/off when prompted in the M03/ M05 part of the script. It just pauses and keeps going. I can fire the torch manually with the torch on button. Everything else seems to be working the way it should and the THC shows signal in the diagnostics. I've exhausted my knowledge and could use some advice.
