RE: Re: BDI: Parallel Port Setup

Jon,

Forgive me for labouring the point, but are you saying that I should be able
to get EMC out of e-stop regardless of what the .ini setting for the
parallel port is? Are you saying that if this setting is incorrect the
machine won't move, but EMC will work?

Thanks.

Deon Styger.
