This means that the software cannot find the machine

1. Check the PC COM Port is working (I.e. plug in a serial mouse)
2. Check that the RS232 cable is Denford supplied or made to Denford spec
3. Make sure the correct machine is selected (See blue banner at top of VR Milling screen)
4. What is the status of the 7 Segment display on the Denstep board?
and 8 or a 2 are OK
5. In VR Milling (Top menu bar)
Setup
Setup Machine Parameters
Password denny
Communications
Make sure the com port is the correct No
Control type 7 (RED 7 segment display)
Control type 9 (GREEN 7 segment display)

6. The Baldor driver is not installed (check under USB devices in Device Manager)
