Re: Spindle sensors
Hi Jerry The only advantage I can see is for those wanting to work at low revs. 1 slot works well at 400-1100 rpm (only speeds I've tested thoroughly). Below 350rpm Mach2 reads rpm erratically for me.

Re: Beginner's Guide to OCX Implementation Request
Hi Art, The main two problems that I know of with VB are: 1) VB crashes as soon as you try running your app. This is before any calls are made to the OCX. If the same app is compiled then run as an
