James, you might have noticed a recent development called pyVCP: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?PyVCP I assume your encoder counts or machine position are now HAL_FLOAT signals? If you want a HAL_FLOAT displayed on-screen without running emc you don't have to reinvent the wheel with QT3, you can do it very easily and quickly with pyvcp. currently pyvcp runs when AXIS is run, but the modifications to make it run standalone with a use-specified input file are small. I (or someone else) just have to modify the parser to take an optional input argument, and create a root window when AXIS does not do that.
