Trouble with touch plate

Post by cjablonski »

I recently purchased the touch plate along with the Pro hd machine. I tried to install the plate in next waves program, but the last step ( go figure) is to add the touch plate and say "ok". This doesnt exist on my screen! I have checked to see if i have the latest firmware and it says i do. HELP!

Hi
Thr Shark control panel software will not display the touch plate button until you enter the regeristation code you receive from NWA. There is no trial period.

Once you get the software to show the option, I'll warn you about a little bug I found. Normally I FAST jog to a position close to where I want to set the Z=0 at. I found when I leave JOG on FAST the routine doesn't lift the bit after touching down. Put JOG on Step and it works fine.
