DRO kit for Myford S7 from Machine DRO

Michael - You have the correct video link in spite of my inverting the Company title !!

Allendales offer of assistance may well be called on.

In spite of my lack of expertise, I have actually managed to attach the required bits to the D-W in positions which offer working outputs. The astonishment which this generated caused me to break the habit of a lifetime and, before operating the console, I read the 'manual'!!!! Following the instructions (another first!) Step 1 was accomplished as was Step 2. However, Step 3 , and normal service was resumed ...book says press up/down arrows to sequence through to SETUP. Pressed the up and down arrows and irrespective of direction of travel, the result remained a 3 output sequence SDM/INC/ABS with the finger shortening requirement to scroll through 200 (!!!) increments of SDM before moving to the next in sequence. Pressing Enter at various points in the process had little effect, save for producing the ubiquitous digital equipment 'beep'! Trouble-shooting section has no mention of this behaviour and, thus, no cure. Resorting to my deep technical skills in these matters, I switched the console on and off (several times!) and have now retired hurt.

Should any members have useful knowledge (or inspired guesses) as to the cause and (preferably) the cure, I would be most grateful for such offerings. (otherwise basket-weaving beckons)
