In case it's not a given, a "REFRESH" button. Having to Shutdown/Exit/Relaunch, wash rinse repeat gets a bit tiring. ;)

Something that emulates the emulation of a Control Panel?

I am lost for what it will be :D

yes would allow the VCP to run while not being connected to CNC12 or an Acorn. so you can build and test (in limited way) custom VCP buttons etc.

I have setup the VCP to use the "one shot" button on the aux keys. I do one off jobs and it is quick and easy to just plug a few numbers in and go.
Is there anyway to get the graphics for the buttons that are in the overlay 194.pdf?
Also for some reason the only button that is not working is the face on aux 7.

Thanks

Thank you Keith! That is what I was looking for. Where they somewhere that I missed? I could not find them.
I will pull a fresh report tomorrow to figure out why the face/aux 7 button does not work.
Also in the 194.pdf,which is how I set mine up, I would like to have the 4th axis clamp button. It says configured through plc.
I did load the allin1dc-rotary clamp-r1.src file during install. Everything else seems to work fantastic.
I have done a few small jobs and even some engine block repair and the control is easy to use and understand.
I am really happy that I made the conversion!

Thanks again.

Thank you again Keith.
I will get them loaded over the weekend.
Any idea why the aux7/face does not work for me?
Parameters are set directly from the list and all other buttons work fine.

Just started really messing around with this. My setup is very basic so I don't have a very complex interface. I'm sure it will evolve though, this is just a noob's start.
