Just looked through the DLX manual. No G18 or G19 mentioned. I'll
check with one of my machines soon as I can. Otto's not known for the
completeness of his docs :( Best to call and ask, but only believe
what Otto says.(he's the programmer) Mine is an old copy, actually
one of the first 4 axis S&D to go out. He never did get the accel to
work right for fast machines.(I gave up. He may have fixed it by now)
Jog and G01 fighting each other. When one works, the other don't.

Doug doesn't support phase drive in CNC pro... It is very easy to
change from phase to step and direction drive. Two 5400/7400 type
(cheap!) chips per axis, don't remember right now which ones, maybe
someone else does? I'll look for how if you're interested.

Glad I could help with the arcs,
