Ralph, Thanks. I will have to try it. I remember when I first configured it, that I had a problem skipping Z and going on to A, so I left Z in there unconfigured.
Regards, Eric You can define any combination of axes in the ini file that you like. Define them like this: [TRAJ] AXES = 3 COORDINATES = X Y A [AXIS_0] TYPE = LINEAR ... [AXIS_1] TYPE = LINEAR ... [AXIS_2] TYPE = ANGULAR ... -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: Eric H.

Unless there is a way around this that I am not aware. Regards, Eric Hi Eric. Why are you using an axis (Z) to drive a pneumatic cylinder ? You should drive it as a discrete output using a custom M1xx function and setup a 2 axis machine instead of a 3 axis machine. Can you explain better your application please ?
