Re: 2nd Probe, no Surface!

That seems to be the issue. At a slow rate of 10 I don't seem to have problems. At a slow rate of 5 I occasionally have a problem and at a slow rate of 2 I get the error about 50% of the time. I'll play around with the speeds and I'll give myself some debounce as well (the debounce was set to 0, so ...

2nd Probe, no Surface!

I am intermittently getting a Probing Error that says "2nd Probe, no Surface!". It is not always on the same probing operation. Any hints for what to look for? Is there debounce timing in the probe interface, minimum length of the probe active signal pulse width, or other such things to be...

Re: "Two Signal" interfacing on BOB

Ahhh! That explains it. I don't have Adobe on the old XP machine that is running the router so I didn't link to the manual through MachStdMill. I used my laptop to download it from the web site. I'm looking forward to playing with the probe and touch plates this week. Thanks for the help and patienc...

Re: "Two Signal" interfacing on BOB

Section 6.1.3.2 does not exist in the manual I downloaded from the site. The manual date is May 9, 2013. Is that the latest manual update or is there a later one somewhere to download?

Re: "Two Signal" interfacing on BOB

Thanks Dave. That should get me going this next week. I don't seem to be able to find this info anywhere in the manual. Am I missing it? I have the latest manual from the link you provided and there is no section 6.2.3.2. Section 6.3.2 has good info about the probe interface issues, but I don't see ...

Re: "Two Signal" interfacing on BOB

I'm pretty new at both Mach 3 and Mach Std Mill, so I apologize for what may be some pretty basic questions. I'm assuming the 3D probe input has it's input defined under Config , Input Signals, Probe (port 1 pin11, in my case). Now, since the Touch Plate is a separate input, which input signal do I ...

"Two Signal" interfacing on BOB

I see in the Announcements at the top of the page that MSM supports "Two Signal" interfacing using two input pins on the Break out Board. Can you point me to some instructions on setting up the two inputs and configuring MSM. I apologize if I have missed this discussion on the forum.
