Re: Aug-30-99 EMC release set free

Hi,

I just installed the update with no problem. However, it didn't clear a
slight hiccough which I've had from the start and which I wonder if is a
glitch in the software. When I try to home the axes in Jog(Manual) mode,
the 'x' axis almost always fails to zero exactly, i.e. it finishes on
0.0001 or -0.0001(sometimes -0.0002). The other axes zero exactly. Also
I have noticed that, if I jog the 'x' axis in 0.001 increments it goes
0.0100, 0.0110, 0.0120 etc up but 0.0109, 0.0099, 0.0089 etc down. I
don't see this as being a particular problem and when running G-code
scripts in step mode, they always seem to finish on the right figures
but I thought it may be worth mentioning for Fred's information.
