Hi,
just found one thing while testing a new Win7 PC.

In " performance options"  " Enable desctop compositon " has to be activated.
If not, toolpath window is not visible.

see pict.

Hi CapNC,

Mach3 only provides one PWM output.
If you have a couple of outputs left you can use a D/A converter for this if a resolution of  3 or 4  (maybe 5) bit is enough.
3 bit =   8 different values
4 bit = 16 different values
5 bit = 32different values
and so on

If you doent have enough outputs, you can use something like the Pokeys device ( or something similar ) to get enough.

just a thought

General Mach Discussion / Re: PWM to 0-10v voltage linearity problem?

« on: July 29, 2013, 09:49:49 AM »

Hi Stuart,
first thing I would do is to be shure that the  Linearity.dat file is not corrupted.
To do so just delete it. It is located in your profile macros folder. Be shure to
delete the right one if you have more then one profile.
When restarting Mach is creating a new clean file.

Hi Ron,
just tried ver 1.09 and found the PC ID is different. Its only running in demo mode.
1.06 is still fine and I see the old ID. ( Same PC without changes )

cheers

Hi all,
Mark you have no tool table file in use.
In MillWizard go to config > tool table > load > then load the default tooltable file > then within your jobfile klick on toolchange > select a tool from tooltable > type in the values you wish > Then 

hope that helps.

Hi Millguy,

try calling custom macro#1  in MDI line and see if it is working.

Maybe your macro is not in the right folder.
