Spindle Bench Test (Resolved)

I have made several attempts at doing a spindle bench test using the spindlebenchtest.cnc file, following Marty's video. The attached screenshot is what happens when trying to run the program. I uninstalled the Acorn software (CNC12 V4.64/ Pro Router) and did a fresh install, same results. Any ideas...

So I'll just skip using the slave feature on the C86ACCP and use the A axis connection...

Homing and Squaring with Software Pairing using Clearpath servo (sdk model)

Hi, I going to convert a Avid Nema 34 control system for the Avid Pro cnc router, with Clearpath servo's and Acorn board. I have a couple of questions.... On page 15 of the axis pairing and squaring manual, it says too put a jumper between the Master axis & Slave axis Enable signal. Is this jump...
