This is correct. No need to setp index_enable to true in the HAL (but it does no harm, and would be helpful if you were doing spindle-orient) index_enable is only set true once at the beginning of each spindle-synch move. Most of the time it sits at false and the spindle-revs pin increases by 1.0 per rev. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
