I am using the current dev version with the new standard screenset and when ever I press the stop button after appx 1 sec it get the error screen that the SS has run out of data.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,
Tom

General Mach Discussion / Inhibit Function for input #1

« on: July 20, 2010, 04:12:25 PM »

I am trying to setup the Inhibit functionality in Mach. I have input 1 set to pin 15 of the bob, I have checked the General Config box to Enable the Function, the input 1 led will toggle on and off but the Inhibit led and functionality will not work.  I am trying the use the inhibit function so that my programs will not begin to run unless my charge pump is active. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?  I have checked the manual but I can't seem to find anything on this that will help.

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks Dave, I did read over the manual some what. I have printed it out and will go over it more tonight.  I did try the settings and I cannot get the tool touch to move. I will give it another try tomorrow, I'm sure I am missing something.

I figured it out, I just had to copy the other tool touch macro and paste it into the new profile.

Hi, 1st let me say that I really like this new screen set, Great Job.  My problem is that I am trying to use the z Tool touch off button, and nothing is working.  I can get the led to light up when I touch it.  I was using the Big Tex touch of macros before.  I am sure I probably don't have something configured right.

Thanks,
Tom

handsmfg,  

if you hit the tab key the flyout will have the sliders on it.

Edit. Sorry I did not see that your question was answered above.
