I just installed the latest version of ShopBot Control software in my new (to me) control computer. I think it is 3.8.8 or the latest they have for download. All seem to work ok, as I have done some air cuts to test it out. The machine runs smoothly and no problems that I know of. I tried the new Diagnostic test that is the dark blue panel that shows the various results from running a file. Right off the bat, the line for showing the control card voltage shows "no reading", but all else is in spec. I have tried several different files and tests and all come back the same, "no reading". I have read the instructions and searched the forum, but no answer.
I have BT 32 standard with the black computer case bought in Jan of 2008, I believe. My control computer is a just purchased used HP with a Core2 Duo at 3.0 Hz and 4 gigs of Ram with a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium and no extra software, etc.
One more bit of info, some time ago my on/off switch on my control box failed in the "On" position, that is it won't turn "Off". Since then I use a short extension cord with an "On/Off" switch built in and I use that to turn on or off.
I just don't want to go into that black box unless I have to.....
Can anyone help me? Thanks.....joe
