Yes you can . IF you search the forum you should find a reference to it somewhere. It can run from the Macropump .

There is a setting that you can select FRO on buffer or not.

NOW to use it you MUST have a spindle index to show TRUE rpm. Without it you can't see the true rpm so there is nothing to monitor spindle rpm drop.

Russ go to the Control panel then uninstall /change programs. Sort the list by install date. Delete anything YOU did NOT install.  ONCE you get it back up THEN create a restore point So that in the future if it happens again you can simply restore back to a known waypoint.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

RUss you have a walware attatck  can you back up to an earlier waypoint  in windows. Then run a good antimalware software to remove it. OR you may have a look at your installs/ipdates record and delete anything loaded in say the last week or 2. They may have very familar and officail sounding names. Just delete them 1 at a time until the problem dissapears.

Just tried it here with LPT and it works fine no surprises. No combination of shift /  jog caused a runaway. I believe that is a SS bug. I thought that there had been a fix for that

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Enabling output during axis movement

« on: July 31, 2015, 08:43:34 PM »

Anything you try to monitor from the inside will run into the problem of what comes first the brake or the axis. IF you monitor the axis movement by the time you sense the axis is moving and release the brake it is too late to release the brake as the axis is ALREADY in motion.

Scott is correct with the Mcode before and after the Axis movement .

HOLD ON THERE big dawg. you are not done yet (;-) NOW you need to reinstall the pendant and see IF the problem returns. FIRST same the XML off to a safe place so IF it does you can simpley delete the current XML and install teh GOOD xml.

IT could have been a corrupt XML causing the problem.

OK I just tested it again . Same thing it follows all functions exactly. Set for Step JOg and each arrow down jogs the step. Prees shift and it runs in Cont just as it should any combination of press hold with Shift and arrow works fine. ?

Now that is Version v.062 running the LPT driver. NO plugins active.

NOW just a note, SOME pc's /keyboards have a weird repeat feature THAT CAN cause what you are seeing. Normally you can turn it off , sometimes you cannot.  SOme Remote keyboards(wireless) can do that IF the batteries run LOW.

Somewhere on THIS site is a simple plugin written by Scott( PoppaBear) that can do what you need. Do a search.
