I tried to wire the touch plate to the PBX-RF board but when I plugged a stereo phone plug into a mono phone jack, the "Digitize" light in the "Diagnostics" window stays on. Do I need a mono phone plug or can I cut the tip off the stereo phone plug? In the "Input Signals" dialog box, I set the "Probe" to enabled, port 1, pin 13, and active low. I set the X, Y, and Z Home Switches to enabled, port 1, pins 10,11, and 12, and active high.

Hi Jeff

to use a stereo jack plug as a mono jack plug
just connect the ground connection to both the "ring" and "sleeve" terminals
and the signal wire to the "tip"

I got the touch plate working after using different phono plugs and jacks. I have USB numeric pad usually used for notebook computers. How do I assign a key stroke command to VB code to start the code running? I'm using the VB code from Login

How do I assign a key stroke command to VB code to start the code running?

Using a screen designer, add a button to the screen with a hotkey assigned and add the VB code to the button.

Hi Jeff

its good to see its working
in the past I've had problems when using either budget connectors or
in one case one combination of different makes of plug and socket didn't
work

I've no experience with VB code , hopefully someone will have an answer for you

PS while I've been typing I see Gerry has posted the answer

Is there a list of unused numeric pad keys? I tried a few screen designers and they confused me because of lack of good documentation.

There are videos on using the screen designers on the Mach site.
There are also lists of shortcut keys there as well, but I've never seen a list of unused keys.
