Hi,
I think you may be confused by the difference between disabling a drive and disabling an axis in Mach4.
If you disable the drive but otherwise leave Mach alone Mach will carry on as normal, the DROs will move, you can
jog, MDI and so on but the servo won't move, ie offline. When you go to re-instate the servos you will need to code
so that the actual machine co-ordinates are reflected in Mach and would be included in the <Offline> button.
If you disable an axis in Mach the servo stops but so does the DRO, you can't jog, MDI etc. Not much use.
The behaviour is really determined by the servo drive which is why I recomend a few simple experiments. If your servos
respond the same as mine then this whole thing will be easy.
