General Mach Discussion / scope shows pulse but no displayed.

« on: December 04, 2009, 10:17:44 AM »

hello I have read some post already on this problem. i am using tectonics equipment a tech 10 board with there breakout boards. etc. i have all working i can drive my tale but have runaway condition. i can slew with my pendent all are parallel ported. my e stop works my green lights are on on my driver board. my analog signal to my motor control is in spec. my O-scope shows a powered encoder and good square pulses. but no display of the encoder on the screen. all are zero's. i have tried every pin or port there is and the same thing happens.

one other thing while i have an all green condition on my system i will turn my axis manually and it will fault out with a following error this all tells me that i have throughput for the pc, break outboard, cables, drivers, encoders but no display on the screen. no control via mach 3 so it seems mach 3 doesn't see the pulses from the encoder.

so my question would be from my reading is there another bit of software out there that can help setup my encoder to work with the mach3 etc.? i need some help

thanks
Warren
