New download will not run
« on: November 24, 2013, 04:38:33 PM »
I have two licensed seats of Mach running on different machines.  Today I downloaded a new "demo" copy to a third (actually tried a XP and a W2000).  In each case the software loaded and appears normal however I can't get either to test.  I have entered commands on the MDI and loaded a program.  Neither execute.  Driver test runs good, diagnostics reports nothing. I can enter values in MDI such as 5.0 for X and it takes but button will not zero.  Simulate program run works.  What am I missing.
Thanks in advance.

You have the axes enabled in ports and pins?

Hood,  Yes X,Y,Z are green (enabled), all other choices on that screen are red. I accepted the default pin selection 2,3,4/6,7,8.  The reset button is bordered with green.  I attempted to change settings on Estop however it returns to enabled (green) even if I change it.

Change the active state of the E-Stop and that will allow you to take Mach out of Reset.

If I click on the green enabled check and press enter it changes to red.  When I click apply then exit and return it is green again.  I have tried all combinations of active state and emulate in conjunction with the green enable and no joy. This occurs with no cable on the computer as well.

The E-Stop is always enabled, Mach will not allow you to disable it as it is mandatory to have an E-Stop. You can trick it into thinking it has an E-Stop by changing the active state to Active Low and that will allow you to Reset Mach.

It was active low as default.  It is currently set at active low.  I am able to reset Mach and see the green border around the reset button however going to the mdi screen and entering g00 x5 does nothing.

Here it is.  I would consider reinstalling Mach if this wasn't happening on two different computers.

You have the Jog Control switched off.
