System Test Advisement for Hickory
Do not start or use the System Test macro with Hickory.
The Centroid System Test was created to ensure OEM’s properly setup the CNC Controller and don’t drop ship a CNC machine Tool to an enduser that has not been properly configured. The System Test has been around for years and has not been updated for use with Hickory.
Instructions for how to use the System Test for Oak and Allin1DC without paired axes is here

For Acorn and AcornSix the System test was removed from CNC12 many years ago since most of these users are building the CNC control themselves.
The System Test is largely trying to verify that the Limit and Home switches are properly configured. For Hickory systems (which use absolute encoders) Limit and Home switches are redundant and most user will elect not to install them as they are optional items with Hickory systems.
The System Test also has an issue with systems that are setup with Software Paired Axes.
So, Do not start or use the System Test macro with Hickory or with system using paired axes.
You can eliminate forcing of System Test from the CNC12 start menu by running this macro attached
-or- by hand typing each line in MDI and then closing CNC12 and Rebooting the CNC controller.

Forcing of System Test will be removed from the upcoming v5.1 CNC12 release and reintroduced in v5.2 after we have updated it and thoroughly tested it.
