    Milltronics VM-17 vfd spindle enable, spindle test.

    Got the mill powered and able to home all axis. I bought the mill with the vfd on the spindle removed and laying in the control cabinet. I am missing a manual for this machine and want to try to run the spindle to see if the vfd is in fact bad. Can any one tell me how to enable the spindle and possible a g code to run the spindle. The spindle vfd is a Magnatek GPD-515. The parameters have been checked and all proper lights are on. Should I try to operate in local first? Thanks, Chris.
