Tge translation acutally worked well, but the graphic with external arrows were still mucked up. And regardless of that you told okular, it printed in b&w, landscape. This despite much of the test being in blue unscreen. However, if its not clipping off the bottoms of the pages, it will be a heck of a lot better that what I had so far. It does seem to be trying to refer to the 220/330 volt versions however, and this in is a 110 volt version, missing the connector for RS-485, and no pcb traces or connector bolts installed where the higher votage stuff would have a braking resistor of unspecified ohmage or wattage connected. Two different input control strips are shown, this one being the shorter, less functional version, missing the AVI out terminal, which is a 10 volt pwm signal whose duty could be translated to rpms for display by lcnc if it had a receiver for such signals.
It does mention in one of the screwed up gfx the possibility of 0-5 volt controls, So extended study of the now english notes may disclose a way to enable that yet, as I've not removed the 3rd copy from the printer, also in landscape mode on portrait oriented paper. Just did, google bit me twice, the back side of the page is printed upside down. And I just found that the pwm input is NOT the normal AVI/could be a pot, but terminal MI4, and that you must tell it the period of the PWM. So another option to try. So I guess its time to get off my duff and get to it. Thanks all, and Dave Cole in particular for sending me to google with it. This is I think going to be an improvement.
