Wizard Outputs List

Post by robert.trescott »

While setting up the ACORN, the Wizard Outputs list behaves differently from some of the videos I've watched. For example in the videos, dragging out OUTPUT5 and replacing it with perhaps SpinFWD, would place OUTPUT5 back in the list.
Any OUTPUTx could be restored in the list, instead of creating an empty output list entry, if a previous item was removed.
All the assigned outputs are functional, but the output list behavior is presently inconsistent in operation, and from prior revisions, as shown in some videos.

Have you checked the outputs drop down box for the separate list of grouped output options? There are now separate lists for All, Safety, Router, ATC, and Custom. Outputs reside in Custom.

Oh my! There is a lot to learn about this system.
I did find the rogue OUTPUTS in CUSTOM. I didn't know I could select away from Mill...
Very nice, and thanks for your help! Cheers

Don't drag your OUTPUT5 out of the box and then try to drag in another. Simply drag your new Output setting into and over the top of the existing setting which will automatically remove the old setting. 1 single drag and drop instead of 2
Hope this helps

And please don't rely on YouTube videos to setup your system. There are probably hundreds of videos on YouTube that are so old that nothing is relevant in them anymore. The Acorn manuals and this forum is your best choice.
