Hi Frank,

Try making your changes to Mach3, saving the data then close Mach without running anything.
Re-open Mach - have the changes been kept ?

Forgive my ignorance.....do you mean the file called 'MachXML' which is an Application file 124 KB? 

No.

Your user profile is shown bottom right of the main screen, your Mach3 settings are in a file called <your user profile> .xml

The  “MaoA~A↑ -Dtonar”  is indeed a Pirate License and should not be used.

There have been other reported cases of Roger Webb supplying this same Pirate License but it has not been established if it was a deliberate act of deception or if it was accidental. (If he told you that you had to use his supplied version of Mach3 then there is a good chance that it was indeed deliberate).

My advice would be to make a secure backup copy of your existing Mach3 folder - delete the Mach3 folder from your C: drive - install Mach3 version .062 - copy your <profile> .xml file from the backup to your new Mach3 install. If you have any special screens or macro's then copy them across as well. Find your original (genuine) Mach3 license (Mach1Lic.dat) and copy that to your new install Mach3 folder.

I'm not sure where you see that. I triple checked and the 24v supply is correct.

This picture shows quite clearly that the +24v and GND are incorrectly annotated.

From your earlier picture you have the +24V and GND connected to the wrong side of the breakout board

Yes.

Have your button bring up a MsgBox containing the options you wish to choose. (Please see the Cypress Enable Language Reference for further details).
