Pressing F1 or the EStop button toggles from ESTOP to ESTOP-Reset Pressing F2 or the "power on" button toggles from ESTOP-Reset to Machine On, or has no effect if the machine is in ESTOP I think there's more information on estop and machine modes, but this should be a "close enough approximation" for now :) - Steve >Kirk Wallace > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
