Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Dead encoder???

When every you are closed loop the manual pulse generator is just shifting
the position by the counts it generates. If it is the X axis amplifier then
you can just swap with the Y axis. If the encoder failed it could put out
no pulses and there would not be any reason for the axis to jump.
