Re: DRO meaning in the Artofcnc world

Jon,

Yes, it does. You can assign pins from a second port to read the
encoders for use when the motors are off; or as has been mentioned as
a "check" during machining. Since the Mach2 screen is totally user
configurable, you can just add a few dro's<G> to show the encoder
results.

Mach2 is a pretty amazing piece of software. And Art will be the
first to say that a good part is the start he got from EMC's code...

But he's modest and has done a LOT since then!
