Older torchmate driver software question 401a
Hello all I am currently running an old TM 1 table with version 5 cad and 1.6 driver software. Talked to TM tech support about upgrading software with my 401a signal generator. One guy told me some can be upgraded to version 2 and some can not. Another guy told me none can because they are not usb type generators like the 501a. On the website it says if you are running a 401a signal generator and version 1 software, version 2 software may be a purchased upgrade. Not sure what to believe but I would like to find out the correct answer here. TM support wants to sell me a 501a generator and version 4 software for 2 grand of course. Not worth it to me. Any old school guys out there have an answer for me?
Thanks,
-Dan

i have 4x4 with v2.01 and 401a, its not that great, if v1 is worse i feel bad for you. i do all editing in other programs and then import to tm.

Sorry I didnt see your post until now. I still am running a red screen height control but I dont really like it for what I do (mostly intricate art pieces from thin material). I have an older proximity height control that worked better so I think I am going to put that back on and part with the red screen. You can purchase a used 501a usb signal generator either a TM unit or flashcut (flashcut made them for tm) and you can download the driver software right from TM's website for free or even flashcut I believe.
