What Mint files are down loaded with regard to option 7 and 9 in communications settings?

"Invalid platform code" means that the compiled mint file (*.mex) which is downloaded to the controller is the wrong one - it has been compiled for different firmware or control platforms.

If you have control type 7 then this will download Novamill.mex

If you have control type 9 (latest firmware) then it will download Novamill.52xx.mex
