Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] question for Mariss

When Mariss requested people to request/suggest changes, I explained that "Common" is synonymous with Ground NOT +5VDC.
I am using the G201 and it has the same confusing marking, on the G201 Common means +5VDC . If you check the data sheet
(dated:Feb/8/2001) you will see the the drawing uses +5VDC for the terminal marked Common on the device itself.
I suspect the G320 has the same mistake, best make sure and wait for a reply from someone that is using the G320 or Mariss.
