Dear Hood
Yes it is Hood. Please  what you read on the DRO? I mean values from 0 to 360 or from 0 to 100...!

Dear Hood
I have a jog control and when I like to use the Mill on manual I use it...! So if I use it, or the jog controls, pushing the buttons 4+ or 4- the axe move...! Ok?

dear Hood..
premise that...all works....just an indication problem on the DRO....
when the axe run using the pendant....what You are expecting to read on the A DRO?

Dear Hood
Yes it is what I did...and , as I said before, all its ok...! But the busillis is that, I can't read degrees on the DRO while the axes runs! I can read values from 0 to 100 according the reduction ration !!! I read values 0° to 360° if I invert , by pendant, the rotation sense starting from the "0 home" position .
Best regards

Thanks Chaoticone....I'll do it as I can...Because now I'm in my country house and my shop is in my town...! Anyway Dear Hood My A axis is enabled correctly. It works well using the pendant but. I read on the DRO just value from 0 to 100 corresponding exactly to the reduction between the motor and the chuck! I'm expecting to read 0 to 360 degree as I can read only when the system turn inverse of the calibration sense!!! Per ex I place CW...I read on the DRO from 0 to 100...if I invert the rotation sense, CCW, by pendant I can read on the DRO value from 359° to 0°.
 I have just positioned the Honeywell reflective sensor in front of a reflecting strip and when the spindle started his rotation I made an Automated setup of inputs and the input in the correct pin where recognized by Mach3...but no RPM value appeared..! I read 0. If I  understand well is impossible to use the RPM window on Mach3 as a RPM indicator as it is...!
Thanks for Your helping....and a BIG patience with Me....

Hi Hood
I don't know how to find the HML...At moment it is in anothercomputer...I have a vague idea it is in a folder program don't you? So..I would like to read in a proper windows
1. Degrees when the 4Th Axe move
2. RPM when spindle run...
It seams all the pins are corretly setled becouse:
1. The motor of the 4tH axe move and go to home position.
2 Mach3 know the signal arriving from the reflective sensor...

Please help me!!!
I’m trying to use Mach3 in all of his capability…so I’m learning a lot from this...but I’m on stall now because:
First issue
My 4th axes, homemade, works well using  MPG MODE  and it goes homing very well… but on the DRO I just read values from 0 (home position settled by switch) to 100 and not 0 to 360 degrees as expected. The number 100 are  correct it is the numbers of rotations of the motor for turning one turn of the entire system due to his  reduction ratio  1:100. If I revers the rotation sense, on the jog, I can read from 360 to 0 degrees!!! I inverted the rotation of the motor in “Homing” and the situation was inverted!!!!
Second issue
I would like to read the spindle speed and for that I’m using an Honeywell reflective sensor HOA0708/0709 who is recognized by Mch3, I puttied it in front of a 6mm square reflecting  strip Mach3 on ” Automated setup of inputs”,  on the right pin number of my second parallel port but…I can’t read any value on the RPM window screen just I see the value on the spindle CWF5 running continuously and very fast!
NOW the question is: WHERE I’M WRONG?
