The error says the machine needs to be homed before it is able to be used. I'm not sure how to do this since the X,Y,Z axis controls are controlled through the Benchman software itself, and the software will not allow to control the machine because this error message keeps popping up. I've tried to manually move the mill table (X and Y axes), and the spindle up and down (Z axis), still the issue persists and the error message won't go away.
Also the emergency stop button shows as activated in the software but I do not have it pressed. Please see the pictures attached, I'm not sure what to do to repair this error.
Any help would be immensely appreciated!
