Hello,

The Emulator is for CNC12 software and Intercon. While a VCP will be displayed it is not really functional.
The CNC12 software is functional. You can write and test programs, graph programs, etc. Download and install the "5.24 offline"
I use it everyday.

Your Ki is different for Y than X and Z.

Hello.
The LED on is a sign of a stuck probe? Is the ALT-i showing the probe tripped also? We may need to have it returned for repair.
It was fully tested and fine before shipping to you.

If you load from the "F2" Load Job key on the main screen of the control you can load a *.CNC, *.TXT, *.NC file.
Not from inside ICN..
