Datum Switch, Wiring and Input test utility

Post by bradders » Mon 15 Jun , 2009 11:53 am

On later versions of VR Milling Ver 5, We have incorporated a testing procedure that will cut down on testing datum switches / their wiring and their input problems. Basically, in the Control Panel window in VR Milling Ver 5 while in the HOME section, press and hold in each datum switch in turn, if the correspondiing axis letter illuminates in Green in the Control Panel window, then you know that the datum switch, wiring and input is working. This little test will save you time and effort probing about with your electrical meter. Shown below in the picture are the X and Z axes been tested
