Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Speed range not working

The C4 indicates that the driver shipped in the third month of the year
2004 and the E4 are drivers shipped in the 5th month of 04 both types were
rev 11 pcb boards so they should be the same. With that said there was a
problem with Mach2 pulse spacing problems which was subsequently corrected.
But I am not sure which mach2 rev you have since there were several
development versions and then the release candidates and now the lock down
version. I would d/l the latest version, completely remove the old pulse
engine and uninstall the current version then install the latest version and
remember to use the all important reboot after loading the program. If it
still continues then call Mariss at Gecko drive and explain the issue to
him.
