Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: How to setup STG-II?Yes it's working!!

Hooray!!

Glad it's working.

The only thing I can offer with the Westamps is to check the amp enable (hi
or low enable)
in the .ini.

I have been using high enable with Copley 412s but I am going to switch to
low enable.
It seems that when then amps are powered and EMC is not running the outputs
float to the
rails or close. This is normal, but Copley engineering suggests that the
sudden application of some
capacitive reactance might do bad things. With low enable the stg should
pull hi when EMC is not
running and keep the amps shut down. It might depend on the power up state
of the stg....who
knows what might be in the i/o before emc is run.
