    Mach3 setup

    I watched the video and it shows some menu's in diagnostics that appear just below the main menu for setting up e-stop auto reset,etc. This menu doesn'tshow up on mine. Why?
    Also how do you set up the generic I/Os so Mach3 knows what is what? Like to turn the plasma on, initial hieght and arc prove?
    I know I must be over looking something. Help please.
    thanks
    mike

    The video tells you it's in the Config menu, Ports and Pins. Can't help with the plasma stufff.

    When you watch the video and he changes the e-stop to auto reset, the menu that he clicks on doesn't appear on my screen. Is that menu appear somewhere else?Have I turned it off some how?

    You don't have the menu at the top of the screen? What resolution are you running at?

    I just downloaded the lasted ver. and it answered a lot of questions. The "SETTINGS ALT6" Doesn't appear in plasma. Limit override is activated by a pin input. But i can't figure out how to map a point to the torch on led and the torch ok led. Thanks for the fast response.
