Scott,
This may be a dumb question, but as the saying goes, " The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked." Where would one look to see the source code for the different I/Os for the Acorn board? In the PLC manual referenced above?

When you run the wizard it will create a file in c:\cncm called acorn_mill_plc.src

In lathe it's in c:\cnct acorn_lathe_plc.src

They are text files so you can open them in any text editor. I recommend notepad++:

It's free and wont screw up the formatting like notepad or Word can

It is in a single file

When you run the wizard it will create a file in c:\cncm called acorn_mill_plc.src

In lathe it's in c:\cnct acorn_lathe_plc.src

They are text files so you can open them in any text editor. I recommend notepad++:

M code macros are also text files in the cncm/cnct directory. they have .mac extension.
make a copy before opening and editing.

And here's the document to make sense of the .src file generated by the Wizard and how to compile it into mpu.plc when you make modifications:

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
