Just figured out something!!! I have always used the number keys above
the keyboard but used the + and- keys on the number pad when using a PC.
The number pad does not work with EMC!!!!! When I used the + and - keys
above the keyboard it jogs just fine. I have noticed that if you shift
to get the true + it does not work, you are actually using the = key.
Another thing I found out is that even if it is displaying axis letters
you can use the 0 to 3 keys to highlight the proper axis to jog or zero
it. Thanks again. Ed.
