Denford Software & Machines

Hello All,

I am trying to replace the desktop tutor keyboard for a PC qwerty keyboard.

My current setup go like this :

Starturn Lathe with SMU controller, Desktop Tutor keyboard (fixed membrane type) pluged into two parallel ports on my PC.

I can datum and Jog etc when using the desktop tutor keyboard for control.
The system will load the querty keyboard after changing the fanucsld.go file and restrted the fanucsld.exe.

From:

IBM.rs2 1
$2F8 3 MACHINE
DENFORD.KBD 1
18.2 0 $3F8 4
EGA.CRT 0
FANUCSLD.APP

To:
IBM.rs2 1
$2F8 3 MACHINE
QDENFORD.KBD 1
18.2 0 $3F8 4
EGA.CRT 0
FANUCSLD.APP

It will allow me to datum the machine by hiting the cursur keys for XZ but thats as far as I can go!

I presume there must be away to put the machine into JOG mode from the keyboard but I can't seem to find the method of doing so.

I also have this config I found from presumably my last attempts way back.

IBM.RS2 1
$2F8 3 MACHINE
denford.KBD 1
18.2 $3F8 4
ibm.kbd 2
EGA.CRT 0
FANUCSLD.APP

Could someone please explain the .go settings. I have searched the forum but have had no luck thus far.

Kind Regards,
SRG

After all that I just found the info I was looking for

Here's a link:
viewtopic.php?t=1138&highlight=keyboard+jog+mode

The ALT key is used to send command to the controller.

ALT J = Jog etc .....

Well I got this here as a reminder now
