VR Milling Ver 5

RED 7 segment = Denstep - select LEGACY Machines
GREEN 7 segment = Nextstep / Nextmove - select DEFAULT Machines that appear when SETUP > SELECT MACHINE is selected in VR Milling Ver 5.

VR Milling 5 Parameters Note !
A 0 in COMMUNICATIONS > CONTROL TYPE = DENSTEP Board
A 7 in COMMUNICATIONS > CONTROL TYPE = NEXTSTEP Board old firmware
A 9 in COMMUNICATIONS > CONTROL TYPE = NEXTSTEP Board new firmware

NB, 7 or 9 will be automatically chosen by the software according to the firmware thats on the card, but it won't do any harm to set it correctly in the first place
