In halcmd, you can do this: show all *dog* and that will list the pins, parameters, and functions with dog in the name (hopefully all related to the watchdog ;) ) As I mentioned, you must add the function hm2_5i20.0.pet_watchdog to a thread for the card to output anything. >pid.0.Pgain is set to 10; still no movement. > > Nope, not until you start petting the dog (they get very needy if you ignore them :) ) >Is there a simple way to put a volt or so on the dac0 just to verify I >can put out analog? > > unlinkp hm2_5i20.0.dac.0.command (or is it value?) setp [whatever the pin name should be] 1.0 I believe the DAC gain should be set to 1, so whatever number you put in is what you should measure on the output. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
