What DRO do you have?

I've got an Acu-rite VUE that I bought about a month after I got my mill. Been using it for 3 years now and could never get the reference points to work. Not a big deal for me unless I have to shut down on a job until the next day - which I had to do again last night. Just getting too late and too tired.



Well, I just tackled it again, and 4 hours later - it works!!!
I could have sworn I had all the parameters right when I set it up during the original install. Looks like I missed one. Had the wrong setting for the type of reference pulse my scales use.

Switched that and now everything works as it should.
That took about 15 minutes.

The other 3 hrs & 45 min was spent trying to update the software in the unit that I found on the Acu-rite web site while researching the other problem. It would have been nice if they would have notified me that there was an upgrade available...

Of course no real instructions for that either, so it took 4 - 5 attempts to get the software to finally upload. Sheeze... I hope I don't have to do that again any time soon.
