No, the LED would display the change if I had guessed the right pin, but as you can see there is not a correlation between what my BOB pin #s were and the actual pin #s that the input to MACH 3 was seeing. So using the auto detect function, I was able to determine the correlation as displayed in the table above. Start auto detect, ground let say pin 11 on my BOB and auto detect would tell me that is really pin 6 for the input. Stepping through each input gave me the relationships.
One of the problems with not using auto detect is you can not tell which pin you are activating until you hit ok, Auto Detect tells you immediately right on the input screen, and also changes the pin number for you, all you have to do is keep track of which pin on the BOB you activated and write it and the Auto Detect response down so you can then wire the dang thing. Thus the table.
I do not think this is normal and I should have been able to know that pin 11 on the BOB would activate pin 11 on the input. and if I put that in for INPUT #1, that LED should have lit. I have a new PCI Printer port coming and a new BOB. It will be interesting if this all straightens out to a one to one relationship or not. Let you know next week after I get the parts.
I know I get wordy with my responses, but it is important that all details are available to anyone else having a problem as this may give them some insight.
