The following tests require version 1.421.50 or newer. On versions prior to 1.423.3, you must have the [[Index pulses]] enabled.

To test for electrical issues that interfere with machine positioning:

* Prior to running a file, in the main interface, type on the keyboard:
'H' for home
'T' for test
'?' where ? is the axis you suspect of drift (Y,X,Z,A). You should repeat this process for all axes.

Note: If the [[Index pulses]] are turned on in the software, this process is done automatically every time the system homes in 1.422.1 and higher.

* Run a file that will result in the problem. You can likely [[Test running files|run in the air]], but note that on occasion, the spindle power is the source of the issue, so running with the spindle off may result in the problem not happening.

* After the file has run, repeat the original procedure, where in the main interface, type on the keyboard:
'H' for home
'T' for test
'?' where ? is the axis you suspect of drift (Y,X,Z,A). You should repeat this process for all axes.

* You will, after each axis, be presented with a message that states whether or not the system checks out properly.

If you get a message that [[Pulses were gained or lost]], this is NOT a problem with the mechanics, and can only occur by way of an electrical problem or a problem with a dusty encoder.
