Hood,
I did connect the ESS.
When I open Mach3 (ver R3.043.066) it tells me: "Wake up client board doesn't reply". I've configured Mach to except the ESS weeks ago, but I think it didn't save the settings to the xml. It did show that it found the plug in, and it also showed up in the device page. The ESS plug in version is: -v10hd2.
Now I realise that I have to set up Mach & the ESS again. I read in one of the forums, that Jeff Birt suggested to a guy (Frank), that he should remove the 066 version of Mach, and install 062 instead, because 066 behaves strangely. And I did experience strange behavior in other areas of Mach. Also, when I click on the plugins, the ESS config page, has nothing in it.
