General Mach Discussion / "Shift" LED

Could someone tell me what the blinking "Shift" LED on the inputs panel represents?
I can't seem to locate an explanation.

Is the sleep duration in milliseconds?

General Mach Discussion / Help with "dwell" in macro

« on: January 03, 2009, 01:23:53 AM »

I could use some help with a momentary signal to activate a relay on my mill.
In the M100 macro I put: 

ActivateSignal(Output1)
Code "G4 P0.5"
DeActivateSignal (Output1)

With the three lines of code I get no reading on my meter. I pretty sure I have everything else configured correctly. If I use just the first line "ActivateSignal(Output1)",
I get a solid 5v. reading. I've tried changing the dwell value, and double checked in General Config. that I'm not in millisecond mode. This is just a simple switch and is not related to any motion controls.
Any advise as to where I'm going wrong would be appreciated.
