    Hi Steve,

    Pushing F5 or calling M3 will turn ON or OFF the output number you set in the Spindle (plasma uses spindle M3) setup section of ports n pins. By default, I think mach3 is set to use Output #1

    You can also edit the M3 macro and have it do whatever you want using VB code.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
