    Driver Watchdog Triggered????

    I was machining a large (30 meg) file, and everything stopped about 1/3 way through (approx. line 517,000). Reset light was flashing, and "Driver Watchdog Triggered" was indicated at the bottom.

    Is there a problem with loading large files?

    Answer from Art

    FYI, here's the answer (Email message from Art):

    Turn off the watchdog in config/general. If the CPU gets too bogged down
    that error can occur, you may want to also turn off toolpath display if a
    file is longer than 20 megs or so.
