501 dsp pendant large files problem

[stirling]

Sorry but that would be unacceptable to me. 128Mb is not a large file and the documentation says it reads directly from USB for large files and it clearly doesn't.! . . OR. . .You have it set wrong and it's not doing this.?

That said personaly I would convert to Mach3 and use External Ethernet motion control card if you want to use a Laptop. You'll have a lot more options and plenty of backup for the Tit's up moments.!

Agree 100% with Jazz. I'm surprised to be honest at MCP. This is a link to their .pdf about the controller and interface card and it clearly states that it can read from USB OR internal memory. In fact if you look at the table on page 1 it states:

128Mb internal memory. It can also support files of a larger size as it can read direct from a USB memory stick (up to 1GB)

So it even tells you the external file size it can handle - so clearly their answer to you is just plain wrong.
