    Mach probing addon buggy?

    I've finally got mach 3 reinstalled and installed the digitizing addon,

    I'm having issues with a couple of things.

    After bringing up the digitizing screen and putting in all of my parameters I click OK and the screen closes and a message comes up where I can check the probe. I check the probe is working and click OK, or start (can't remember the exact terminology) The machine moves X and Y to the center of the part and then nothing. A dialog box pops up "Previous SEQ no yet completed".

    If I hit OK in that dialog box it goes away, sometimes.

    After hitting cycle start, the machine does nothing, sometimes.

    Sometimes There is information being shown (number of points recorded etc) in the upper right hand of the mach screen, sometimes not..

    If and when I get it scanning I have not found any way at all to get it to abort short of turning the computer off.

    I'm running the standard mach screen and haven't tried any of the other custom screens.



    Any suggestions Anybody?

    Did you ever get answers to the problems you were having with the probe routine in MACH 3? I'm having the same issues.
