switching Y axis onto A axis, How?

[Fixed4that]

Hello,

I've been through the search but can't find anything definative. (indexing seems to be the closest) Can anyone tell me:

Y axis board driver failed. How do I switch over and drive the Y axis with the A axis?

Its an older 2006 prt96 on a v3.54 board

Please stick in a link if you're a better searcher than me!

thanks

In SB3, type in VI command. Swap values in Channel2 and Channel4.

Channel4 should a value of Y.
Channel2 should have a value of A.

Thanks Brady,

While I was waiting I read about 300+ posts looking for more info. Found one that told how to change the dip switches which I did and it worked! Should I also do the software solution or do both or either? Will it amount to the same thing?

here's the link if anyone is hunting again:

(DIP switch , A channel, A axis, swap, y axis, VI, channel2, channel4,)

You can do either or...but only pick one.
