Dear List.
I have build yesterdat a new installation of EMC2
on my PC, but I am failing to see any pulses
on my DM25 port with my oscilloscope ?
Is their a logical procedure to test for logic pulses
on EMC2 ?
Many thanks kind regards

In case anyone is interested, I have an .ngc file that I'll probably run
tomorrow, but if anyone finds anything that might improve it, I would
appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
