I do use a 57CNC for laser work but not with Mach4 so I do not know if the 57CNC actually supports the M62/M63 commands. May I suggest that you contact PoLabs to check this before proceeding;   http://support.polabs.com/

i will check it,  but i don't think the gcode M62-63  has ennything to do with the pokeys 57cnc   it is in mach 4  ....?

mach 4 reads the M62-63  an just puts this to an output of the pokeys....

So it would seem but...
Because the M62/M63 commands only take effect at the instant of axis movement then the Output# would have to be controlled by the 57CNC plugin.

I got this from polabs

We are in contact with Mach4 team on how to solve this issue and implement real-time outputs control.



 So you were right

My apologies for suggesting the M62/M63 route - looks like you are back to using an axis direction pin for the time being.
However, I think PoLabs will be pretty quick to implement these commands into their plugin.
