Does pncconf know how to make closed loop stepgen + encoder feedback configurations? I was able to set up the rough framework for my 5i25/7i85S config using PNCconfig about a year and a half ago. It was long enough ago I don't remember what steps I had to take to do it, but it couldn't have been to painful or I think I'd remember having trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
