Re: Scanner/Digitizer

Hi Tom,

MaxNC control software is NOT configurable. I have 4-phase and step/dir
versions of the -PRO, which is 3axis. The 4-phase is for their "motion
control board" only, while the step/dir is probably able to drive a
variety of hardware drivers. Both are configured for specified MaxNC
parallel port pinouts only. Servo systems, I don't know.
