General Mach Discussion / Re: Parallel Port Problem

« on: December 02, 2013, 08:01:49 AM »

Hi Hood,
            Many thanks for your reply and help. I have changed the config setting to
E010 as in my Resourse Settings but it has no effect. In the Diagnostics page I am
getting Simulate in the Pulse Frequency Box, I am thinking that signals are not getting
through. Any other ideas?
Regards

General Mach Discussion / Parallel Port Problem

« on: December 02, 2013, 06:51:28 AM »

Hi All,
        I have just upgraded my computer system due to blue screen problems. The only problem now is that I can not get any signals
to my CNC machine (previously working OK).
    I think that the problem is that the new computer did not come with a parallel port, so the supplier added a PCI Express Parallel
Adapter Card. Needless to say I can not get the system to work. If i understand it correctly i need to put the card address into the
config on Mach3? Can anyone help with how to find the address and how to correct the problem?

Many thanks
Roy

Hi Klaus,
            Many thanks for all your help, It is now working correctly and
I have the printouts required. I must have been making typo errors.
Thanks again
Best Regards

Hi Klaus,
            When I run the program it starts with a blank screen. I clicked on ports and pins (Action).
Then I get the error message.

Hi John,
            I have tried again and it loads the program but all I then get are clear screens and the error message
 The Mach3 LPT- driver will not work with this system. I think this because I am using a USB printer? Any ideas
how to solve this?
Regards

Hi Klaus,
           I am using Windows 7, I am getting an error message that it will not run on this OS.
This is a bit strange.

Hi Klaus,
           Thanks for your reply. MachProfile will not work on my 64bit machine. Is there a copy that will work?

Regards

Hi Hood,
            Many thanks for your reply, I could do as you advise but as my friends machine is a different model (size only)
i am not too sure. My idea was to have a print out of my config so that i coulld compare prior to any actual changes.
I tried to get a screen print but this did not work. Any idea how i can get a printed version?

Regards
Roy

Hi All,
        I am running Mach3 on my own computer and 3040 CNC all perfectly OK. My problem is a friend has just purchased a similar
system which I am told will not work. In order to help him sort this out I will need a printed copy of my config files, can this be done?
or do I have to copy it with screen prints which will take an age.
    Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Roy
