Just tried something with a very surprising result. PC is dual boot with Windows XP, ran Mach3 at 35kHz Kernel speed and it's capable of seeing the index pulse and giving an accurate rpm reading to 1000 rpm! I find it odd that Mach can use it but EMC can't above 200 rpm? Any ideas? However, both show the odd missing pulse causing kicks to the rpm display throughout the range, so I've snipped the wires and am going to fit the Stegmann. I need to make an adaptor plate first though. Be weekend by the time I get that done.
