    Work read outs do not change

    Okay not sure what happened put my work read out numbers do not work. They read a number but do not change as the machine is running a program. If i hit feed hold it will change to where i hit feed hold but then when i cycle start they lock up on those numbers. I have re-started my machine and pc and still the same. I will be shutting down for the night now and re-try it in the morning. but just wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem.

    Hi I hope that you figured out how to fix that. I had this happen to me and what I found was a springy little titanium chip was stuck in the keyboard and one of the letter keys were stuck in a depressed condition. Once I cleaned out the keyboard and rebooted everything worked again.

    I had this happen a few months back on one of the earlier releases, a reboot fixed the problem for me.

    I havent noticed any problem in the later releases with this. It did not affect the machining though, just the readouts didnt change as they should have.

    So i was running it last night and now everything is working LOL Next time it happens i will try to switch the keyboard. And after i finish this job i might update PP not sure on that because i have a few jobs follow this one. So i might wait untill i have down time so i can make sure everything is good.
    Thanks for the feed back everyone too
