Re: [Emc-users] Newall DRO integration

I looked at the unit. It seems like a good idea. It uses inputs from both the motor's shaft encoders and another encoder on the object that is being moved, like a linear encoder on the table. Question: Let's say I wanted to do this myself. Is there a method that "everyone" in the machine

[Emc-users] Newall DRO integration

Andy, Zeiss uses the "switching" function as a major argument in advertising this probe, so measuring the bare resistance wouldn't be satisfying. There must be a feature you didn't find when destroying your probe. It's digital this way. Unfortunately, on the Zeiss homepage, when selecting the
