    Question "Probe" and "Verify" not working - Mach3 & ESS

    Hello,
    - Mach3, Win7(32bit) ESS, 2010 screenset.
    - No other wiring was done, just the ESS put inline, software and setting configured.
    - Also removed old bosch colt and installed new 600w spindle.

    Conducting a few function tests and came to find out that the probe and verify functions are not working.

    Verify ultimately does nothing - Come to learn it is not fully (correctly) implemented.
    If I press verify, nothing happens until I move an axis. As soon as the move is finished,
    the machine will return to where it started, and state verify complete.

    As for the probe, it starts the routine, but as soon as contact is made with the touch plate,
    Mach3 reports contact (LED lights up) but the machine wants to keep going, I emerge stop.

    Is there some setting I'm missing within the ESS config?

    Thanks

    - all functions worked correctly prior to the ESS being installed.
    - Used an ad-in PP card, but frequency was fluctuating too bad causing lost steps.

    Are you using Mach3 3.043.066? If you are, you need to go back to 3.043.062.

    Sorry, should have added that, using 62.

    Probing should be working in .062
