Hello Tweakie .

Many thanks.

 I have just realized again what a fantastic system you have here.  I have also realized how much I rely on this little machine.

Regards
Buchanan

Hi Buchanan,

Good fortune building those wonderful time-pieces.

(Friend of mine spent 15 Years building a small, ride-on, steam engine - he spent so much time in the workshop his wife almost forgot she was married).

Tweakie.
PEACE

Another dumb question . 

I come to start my computer this morning and I thought to check my motor tuning.  What do you know , but my pulse width has reset to 0 uS.  Well, perhaps I did not save the settings , so I do this.  Then I thought: I will test this out. So I restart my computer and  and check my pulse width again and it has reset to 0 uS. Now i must be getting old, grumpy and suspicious. I check out all the changes Tweakie recommended and they have all changed back to the old settings. I am now just as old but more grumpy and suspicious.

So I reset all the changes back to Tweakia's  and I  start to restart my computer. This takes a little long to do, so, rather than restart , I shut down Mach 3 and reopen it. Now  all the changes remain correct.  So I then restart my computer, now everything  remains correct.

I am now old , grumpy suspicious and baffled!

Is there a proper procedure to make sure all settings are saved.

One thought occurs to me: last night I left the workshop in a hurry. I just flipped all the switches off on  the power board, didn't shut Mach 3 down or the computer.

Hi Buchanan,

Not a dumb question at all.

It is as you suspected - Mach3 saves it's settings to the .xml file on shutdown. If the shutdown is not completed correctly Mach3 will load a previous .xml file (settings) on  next start-up.
