Does anyone know if there is a shortcut key for slow, medium, and fast jog speeds in the driver software version 4.5? I know the old white backround driver software had 3 different keys for this and I had them programmed to my wireless controller but it's not the same for the new version. Thanks...

Oh yes I saw that listed on your e bay store. Can you confirm that this comes with version 4 driver software? If so I will go this ebay route as paypal makes it real easy. Thanks

Dennie I attempted V4 but asks for the security code which I do not have. Can you tell me how much it is for his upgrade code? Also the funky issue is that my serial numbers aren't matching up. Box says 211071 which I was told is not new enough to run anything but V3 but the driver software...

Thanks Dennie. I was told by one of the techs that my S/N generator was not able to run version 4. However when I went to help then about TM in the driver software of V3 my S/N for the generator does not match what the actual box says. The box says 211071 while the driver software says its...

Update - any one of you TM techs come across this error? My signer generator does not have an expansion board but it says it does and I can not get online unless I check the box. When online I have no gantry movement still. SOS

Hello I'm looking for a reply on here while I'm at work. I purchased a new to me 501a signal generator for my TM 1 table and hooked it up this morning. My first question is how do I know if I am able to run version 4 on this generator? It has a delivery date of 1/4/2010 so from my understanding...

I downloaded joytokey and use that program to assign the keys (purchase the $7 license or else it will erase everything when you shut off the computer). Buy a Logitech X box or PS3 controller with wireless USB plug (e bay is cheap) and you can assign a function to all the keys on it. Obviously...

Wanted to post an update. Added a start ground to my table frame. Ran the ground rod to it, plasma lead to it, ran ground wires to my gantry as well as lifter station, and another ground lead for the work clamp. Have had no issues since! Thanks.

Update: a fellow red screen user mailed me his spare box to test and I have the same results. Torch raises and loses arc randomly while cutting. I even lowered my torch to pierce height, lowered my delay, and took the input and output wires off the back of the box and tied them together to run...

Good idea I will try this later and report back thanks.

I have a new to me used red screen height unit. Was acting funky so I sent it to Onexia for repair. They seemed to have issues but replaced a board inside and claimed its good. I am still having an issue which is new. It will start a cut like normal and while it is cutting it will lose the arc...

Thanks I completely understand! I tried to do this today on my spare drive box that has the 2305 driver cards but came to the conclusion one card is bad so I will have to call and order one up. I have another drive box that I currently use now and it is different (older) than the one you are...

I should state I have a 401a running 2.20 beta 14 driver software, which I use all version 3 manuals and pdfs for.

I tried to do this. I get an error in the driver software. I have three driver cards and one is unused so I was hoping another X would work. It does work I tested it with a spare stepper set for a Z. It blocks me as seen in picture when I try for a 2nd X axis. Damn

I have a TM 1 4x8 and it has one stepper that runs the X axis. I have made a driveshaft to run across and put on a gear rack on opposite side to tighten up the gantry. Better than it was but the rack is facing up so if crap gets on it it causes the torch to shake. Im looking to flip the racks to...
