    I am going to get more information, it looks interesting, I like the clean look of the interface, it also looks like you can supply alot of the hardware yourself, the onscreen ladder diagnostics will be very usefull.
    I noticed G31 was absent from the G code list to enable probing, this would be a great asset.
    There is alot more unanswered questions I would have before getting in to it, (also PRICE).

    The reason I ask is they are cheaper than my camsoft installer for a full install quote and they claim they can do it in 3 days 2 nights with 2 onsite installers, whereas camsoft would take a month. camsofts hardware is less expensive but the intsall time kills their quote. and I would still be providing my own computer and monitor with the quote from camsoft.

    In my opinion, quoting three days to install is very tight and does not allow anything for the unexpected, which is common whether you have done the exact same machine before or not.
    Do you know if it is their own Motion card? or are they using a 3rd party's, I do not recognize it from the picture?
